The thing that really gets me going about the Plug stuff is Vibert's *drums*. The context is drum'n'bass, yet he's able to bring a real lightness/swing/variation to that type of rhythm that one would normally associate only with jazz trapsmen. Yet a lot of the actual percussive sounds and effects he creates can only be done electronically, which is where the idea of fusion comes into play, IMO. There's also a real attention to detail and freshnes in his rhythm programming that very few other d'n'b producers even bother with.... - Matthew
