...on PCP. Ambient d'n'b is a slightly anaemic subset of jungle - but
there are some fantastic choons within that style that can totally hold
their own.

I love aggressive jungle - remember Dillinja's early tracks? some of
them, like the seminal 'You Don't Know' are yet to be bettered in terms
of bass/breaks dynamics.Jungle runs at 180bpm and 90bpm for the most
part, but the best of the modern, acidic, fluttering oppressive jungle
seems to run faster, maybe at 120/240, which is cool. UK jungle (is
there any other serious contender?) has recently become almost anthemic
in its approach - big, bold, brash basslines combined with
super-confident mid-bass warbles and shrieks. Utterly fantastic.

Internal Bass, the label I run a web site for, have recently turned
there hand to d'n'b - Panama Reed's new album combines jazz and jungle,
and the details can be found at the usual place (Sound files soon...):

Incidentally, Panama Reed name checks Dillinja as an influence...

But jazzy too, coz this is, after all, the acid-jazz list!

Cheers!

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...

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