well, if you don't like ragga or dancehall you are not going to like
this track. :P

well, jon, i think that is shutting a door you perhaps shouldn't but
'law of the jungle' is certainly not something i could ever see you
listening too (judging on the stuff you praise such as FSoL and the
stuff you make). at least you gave it a shot.
why not try omni trio or perhaps 4 hero's 'parallel universe'...
i mean, what with the rumour of FSoL working with dego (4 hero) and all.
dego's studio is even located right next to FSoL's as well.
in fact, i recommend people try any record on the reinforced label.
some of the 'hip hop' stuff done by tek 9 makes a lot of this trip
hop look pathetic. and 4 hero's electro and early hip hop influences
sparkle thru...some brilliant music work.
and as dego himself said, "for every good jungle record there are 10
crap ones"....
and i feel inclined to agree with that...
i bet there is some stuff out there that even you would like.
