>you don't like d'n'b then
i said that? oh, i guess i did :) oh well, i do make exceptions:
squarepusher, jega, pre-house photek, and datach'i of course :) although i
do tend to steer clear of d+b, i couldn't possibly deny that there have been
some very good releases in the past few years, simply because there's so
much d+b in the world now!... just considering its immense size, some of
it's bound to be good, even if it's only 10% of the releases. like i said,
it's a rash, it's everywhere! :)

my comment here was a little misleading. what i meant was, it discourages
me when non-d+b artists suddenly decide to experiment with d+b breaks and
d+b culture. as far as i know, 75% of the artists you mentioned above
actually got their start making some form of d+b (excluding their earlier
pre-record deal material). that would make your comment above only 25%
relevant, and not a worthy 25% i might add. IMO, _richard_d._james_album_
is a stain in aphex's catalogue. though it might have been a well-received
release, i wouldn't say it was any kind of musically enhancing stepping
stone in his career. that album didn't make mr. james a better musician.

perhaps your perception of time isn't quite sound. notice i wrote, "few
artists coming out now" - keyword being _now_. now is not the early/mid
nineties, which is when the artists you mentioned above surfaced with d+b
material. these guys have been around for a while; they established
themselves as drum 'n' bass years ago, not recently.
anyhow, i appreciate your reply, flawed as it may be ;)
