Keep in mind that a good percentage of the jungle stuff out there, namely
alot of Photek/Source Direct and that, and even a few SP tracks, is fairly
minimal in its construction at times. Jungle is not necessarily a sensory
overload of sampled amen breaks, it is, in fact, despite what one might
think, a bit less of a sensory overload of sampled other than amen breaks
on occasion. Given the chart success of the hidden camera, which had some
fairly minimal breaks in it, and was not at all overloading nor geared to a
very short attention span, I would go so far as to assert that Jungle's
roots/popularity lie elsewhere. Incidentally, cut-and-paste/soundbite music
has been around for years under such names as "musique concrete" (whatever
that means ;) and some of it is most definitely NOT geared toward those
with short attention spans...
