OK Mike, you won - even the Underworld guys themselves denied it being
jungle (in the fear of being accused of having jumped on the bandwagon?)
in the latest NME, so I must have been in the minority here :)
And no, I have *no* intention to be part of the hype machine - who gives
a fuck about that anyway :)
Actually I meant the B-side mix: but breakbeat or jungle, big deal.
Do these labelings really make any difference to anyone else except the
record company A&R men, the hype music journalists in the glossy fad
magazines and the most desperate trend hoppers? Fock 'em - a good track
is a good track is a good track... :)

I'll second that, wasn't there even a jungle mix of 'Voodoo Ray' ('Voodoo
Rage') or have my old ears failed me? :)

Wow! I've been listening to this same stuff lately. I liked on
the Blue album most the old skool dub tracks like 'Circle Lines'; maybe
there should have been more that to my Augustus Pablo/King Tubby/Lee
Scratch Perry tastes, but the-man-hanging-with-the-meat-hooks-in-his-
nipples cover was neat anyway :)
And the Sabres... mmm! That Depth Charge mix really blew my mind. I got
the special edition of 'Versus'; with the 7", 10" and 12" packed in one -
has anyone else seen this (remember that Link/E621 2x12" edition)?
I still think I *gotta have* the CD, call me a trainspotter or something :)
