yeah, yeah, yeah! ok, already! i admit it! it was me! but i wasn't shouting! as for the hardstep bit, you misinterpretted that bit! jungle has never, and will never be ambient. it's the biggest oxymoron ever! some uk writer thinks because the artists sample a few ambient tunes that it becomes ambient...i think not! hardstep is another style of jungle...or something they've just now found a good word for...i'd much rather hear it called that than intelligent jungle! and as for 'intelligent'...i dislike the word when being used to describe music. and i guess drum & bass means nothing anymore...it's all known as jungle now anyway! there is a lot of good jungle that doesn't stick to the boring ragga cookie cutter beats. it also seems to be the most easy to market by the major labels as well... anyone heard a guy called gerald's new lp 'black secret technology'? i'm going to stop using labels now. i'm going to call it all polka music! muhahaha. this is intelligent polka music. -- o _/,_ . /o...\__// fk453@cleveland.freenet.edu \_'__/``\` \`
