< by the sounds of it.. you guys just started
listening to drum and bass 3-4 years ago... here is a
fact. drum and bass is a deriviative of HARDCORE... >
For me more like 7 years ago. Hardcore from 1992 would
simply sound like cheesy Rave music by today's
standards. You can hardly say 2 Bad Mice is punishing
(or menacing)...even back then.
Some people were making ravey dnb with pianos and
chipmunk vocal, some people were making really funky
music, jazzy dnb, jump up, and then you had No
U-Turn's dark techstep.
Everyone had their own sound, and I think everyone
wanted to push the boundaries of what could be
achieved.
As far as the dark and punishing stuff, when it was
good I bought it. All the early Virus, Metro, and No
U-Turn records are sick! Ram also put out some really
good tune.
< there fore ... "punishing" as you put it is infact
OK and acceptable..>
If it's pushing some boundaries, or sounds unique....
the sure I would probably pick it up.
I need something different from the same old formula
and I'm sick of hoovers.
< and do you know what?? there is actually atmospheric
producers.. jazz producers... and intelligent
producers of jungle/dnb... that you fail to mention...

I don't know of anyone that is doing anything that
interesting. The Good Looking camp hasn't put out
too many releases over the last couple of years that
excite me. I already gave props to Certificate 18, who
still manage to put out some fine releases.
< and one last thing.. just because the sounds you
hear are outdated .. (because of trickling releases
from record companies) doesn't mean the sound is
dead.. it actually changes every 6 months. >
Then I suppose maybe sometime in the near future there
might actually be a song out there that stands out.
We'll all be waiting...
Old Photek still sounds great to me! You would think
that with the technology today someone would have at
least come close to the brilliance of older Photek.
