I think you're probably right about this - bands like BnH, Incognito etc are
as popular as ever, but I definitely think the "underground" scene has moved
on a bit. I don't really see this as A Bad Thing, given that I've always
liked to see the music moving forward - and the developments in Drum & Bass
in the last year or so are very promising indeed. Some of Photek's stuff is
even beginning to sound like Steve Coleman...
