First, i'll say that it's growing on me. i'm beginning to *really* like it - at first listen it was "WHOO HOO!" and then the track didn't really go anywhere...but repeated listens are rewarding and giving me things in the track i didn't hear before.... as far as the 'jungle' in the track....i have to give a big two fingers to all the hype machines...this track is as jungle as the Carpenters. ;D (excuse the bad metaphor :) ) Just because the track has a breakbeat in it it's labeled 'jungle'...whatever. It's got a nice break-accompanied-by-a-FOTF-kick and i like it. It's *not* jungle. "Born Slippy is a good track"... Speaking of jungle and new stuff...I bought Gerald's "black secret technology' this weekend for myself and can say that this is the only truly (and i mean truly, i'm a big 4 Hero fan....) innovative jungle (save maybe ltj bukem) around. This album is amazing and it would do most idm'ers good to check it out... also found....LFO "tied up" and the old but fabu "what is house" ep....Blue "resistance" (the verdict is still out) and Sabres "Versus" ep (ESSENTIAL!) mikebee
