Ummm, I don't think much of the jungle/Drum'n'Bass world really cares about orbital, or ever did. Exactly how many Jungle/drum'n'Bass tracks can you remember coming out prior to snivilisation?

Gotta agree on that one.

Well i don't think orbital has had any influence in the development of D'n'B i'll go as far as saying that. Although samples of techno recs and classics often apear on Hardcore/rave/bouncey techno and occasionally D'n'B records!

Other cool ambient/mellow Drum'n'bass: the Artcore compilation, or, stuff on Reinforced, Metalheads, moving Shadow, Bear Necessities, Photek, Lucky Spin, to coin but a few. personally i think that Orbital and Snivilisation have as much in common with Drum'n'Bass development as 'Time Flies' has with trip hop.
