Drill'n'bass isn't a sustaining genre - it's a novelty IMO. The interesting stuff will happen when the techniques and ethos (basically fuck around with as much of the break and sounds as possible) cross-breeds into other stuff. This is happening already - a good example IMO is that Ae Certificate 18 remix.

The new stuff sounds pretty organic to me - still with that Ae coldness and kind of clinical outlook but with the sounds they're using. Sorry - that wasn't a sentence. How was Sprawl then with Mike P. and Jega? I was going to go but started caning _Goldeneye_ and then played my Main Street records and then couldn't be arsed. || [CiM] || cim_@hotmail.com || - ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
