i totally agree. you do realize this makes us sound like grumpy old
men, don't you? well, fuck it. i like it.
although the orb and rsw and old fsol all use lotsa big funky drum
loops, so i'm not sure what you're getting at with the big beat
comment. other than that the "new school" big beat folk don't show
nearly as much creativity in general as the originators.

me too. RSW "in dub" still sounds light years ahead of the pack.
