Ack! By gods, this is pure heresy! Whats the point of someone going through all the trouble of careful drum programing and looping if we're all going to play it too damn slow? Jungle is meant to be fast and freaky. I hope none of you bad kids :) out there are doing this, cause it goes right into the hall of shame along with the old practice of speeding up hip-hop records to make them breakbeat tracks and giving all the rappers high and whiny voices. I've heard both of these practices, as I'm sure all of you have, and it sounds pretty weak... -Fresh
