What about Drum & Bass, or Urban Breakbeat, or any of other terms
for "that really fast music" floating about? Maybe we can make our
own little term for it by combining part of one term, with part of
another. How about combining fusion and jungle, into the new term
of "fungle"! It always makes me scratch my head when artists get so
upset about labels. Tricky hates being called a trip-hop act,
United Future Orginization hate the acid jazz label. Thats all good
and fine, but what are you supposed to say when you head out to the
store? "You have the new UFO 12'?" "What kind of music is it?" "Why
do we always have to catagorize everything? Why do we have to label
one type...of...uhhh....mmmm....fuck it, its acid jazz."
Rock on,
