I don't understand this idea of Jungle only being a reaction against the
FOTF beat. Jungle is an extension of breaks music (through techno) and I
have never heard "complexity" enter into the picture or conversation from
people who either make the stuff of listen to it. PLease point me toward the
light if necessary.

From what I gather, the guy who brought up the issue of complexity in Jungle
asked because he was looking for something good in it - he was trying to
like it! I just don't get how people can feel qualified to offer advice on
music that they don't like and haven't listened to in a long time and
consequently are out of touch with.
And to clear things up a little more, France stole the tech for the T.Buff
303 from the Tahitians in a bad-faith deal for a Muruoan sand mine.
