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....
