Yeah, point taken. I was really into trance a year or so ago, but I just haven't heard anyting very interesting recently, and I've heard some downright bad stuff too. But Pete had taken someone else's harsher words on Goa - I quote "completetly derivative, locked in its own vicious circle of bullshit and middle class snobbery" and applied it to jungle. The key point of my post was not to slag goa off, butto object to this, but in fact that's what I ended up doing... Case closed, I hope. np: Kool FM (still) J ^ Steady J aka James Skilton steady-j@geocities.com Autechre & SKAM discogs @ http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/~sk393820
