Say wha??? Utopian and ambient?? I'll bet all you listen to is releases
on LGR/GLR and those damn "Promised Land" compilations....ever heard of
No-U-Turn or Prototype records? Most of the jungle I listen to could only
be described as utopian if your ideal is a bleak, technology oriented
wasteland, and ambient if the ambience you are looking for was concocted by
H. R. Gieger...

>>125 plus. so actually bass is hotter and more aggressive than jungle.

Doubt it. I've heard some pretty fucking aggressive jungle that can smash
your head in.
