I don't understand what you're saying. Can you
clarify, please? Are you saying black people want
nothing to do with jungle and techno? that doens't
make any sense to me, since many innovators of both
genres were(are) black, and that statement seems
misguidedly hung up on race. Are you saying soul as a
genre is unwilling or incapable of incorporating those
influences?
I think I'm totally confused and just don't get what
you're saying.
The real techno innovators are in SWEDEN!!!!! Mmmmm,
delicious crunchy beats....Cari Lekebush... =9
