That form & function vol. 2 thing looked really bad, haven't really checked it out though.
Yeah, I absolutely love a lot of it - particularly in the early stuff there's a real sense of 'endless possibilities' - you can almost hear the excitement of people realizing that there aren't any real limits to what they can try.I happen to have no problem with electronica, i don't think it's dull, there is or more often now there was some great stuff, some of my favorite electronic music is what got called idm, it's just great very imaginative music at times and really fun to listen to, i don't actually think any of the people that made music that got called actually had any intentions but to do what they wanted and not worry about scenes, they were also informed by other music too by freeing themselves from that idea, but inevitably a scene kinda followed them.
Yeah. I guess this is kind of why a lot of really interesting scenes tend to turn into boring scenes - you start of with a lot of tension, contrast, different elements. Eventually it all seperates out and people who want one thing go off in one direction and people who want another go off in another.The really interesting things happen when people find the space to negotiate themselves out if the tensions though, either by dealing with them, ignoring them or improving them, or by just physically creating a space infront of speakers where egalitarian things happen.

Welcome, Gerald. I'd guess that you'll find many folks around here who admire your work very much and would be very keen to hear your thoughts on the current state of dnb/jungle/music in general.
yes of course there was the press release, much discussed on sc and elsewhere, and well known to anyone who cares about jungle, but there's a difference between press releases and discussion, no? I mean, come on, the post was a sincere & polite gesture welcoming the guy.we heard them in that infamous press release from the record released a few months ago... the music didn't exactly live up to the exaggerated promises of the writing, but I'm curious to hear the new stuff.

Posting here does though.that press release didn't leave anything open for discussion

Well I never met him in person... My exclamation points are for the great music he makes and mixes. I can see how it might be too dark and hard-core for some.
basically it's supposed to be music to dance to and i find that most of the music i hear now doesn't make me want to dance.
how many djs when they go to the record shop just pick a load of tunes out without looking at the name of who's done it and just listen to the groove of the track, the quality of the track and buy it on the strength of that without knowing the artist or the label? what i mean by this is music is very personal, everyone has their own view, their own flavour and no one should ever be influenced by what people write - and that goes for all press releases.
i think jungle's got to the state it's in because most people producing the music are djs and it seems the reason they became djs is because they read about it. jungle music belongs underground. i'm just waiting for all these fuckers to jump off the bandwagon. i feel like this music has been sabotaged.
there's too much trainspotting and not enough dancing going on. give me something to dance to. in a few years time, if we are not careful, we'll be dancing to a magazine!
i don't trust people that don't dance.
sorry for ranting on... thanks to the people who've supported me over the years.
