ok, my bag about the racism thing... it's just a
rumour i remembered hearing at the time. it made
sense to me, because it seemed like overnight the term
"jungle" totally disappeared, like it was a media
decision. anyway, i too hope desperately that 2step
is not the conclusion.

well, i don't know. i guess we'll have to just say
it's a matter of opinion. there's definately a couple
of jams on there, but it doesn't have the depth of
HAB, in my view. for one thing, although he may do
it well, he borrows really heavily from aphex--enough
so that it often sounds annoyingly derivative. like
"theme from ernest" is the most egregious example i
can think of offhand.
i just have to give afx the props for inventing that
style with HAB in the first place--there was nothing
like it at the time. all those rickiety ratchity
details and wierd ass noises mixed with d&b-like
rythms... i can still remember where i was standing
the first time i heard it... (and bought 2 copies)
funny, when the squarepusher stuff was released,
especially because of HAB, alot of people (myself
included) were convinced it was a secret aphex alias.

ya, that's a pretty wierd album, so bleepy and
electronic, without using the typical samples... like
that *SNARE* that everybody seems compelled to use
(didn't squarepusher use it on his latest release?).
i like track 12 (refraction)--that synth riff is so
simple but really nice. i have to say though, i think
the "abstract soundscape" stuff on that album is
positively awful. and the cover-art is... yikes.
overall i really don't like T Power (sounds cheesy to
me), with the exception of that track, and the
overplayed yet classic "mutant jazz" (although
listening to it now, i think it sounds dated).
