    You are probably right, but I don't anticipate that
    most of the current dnb audience will get into it. I
    think it will attract a lot of the older dnb audience
    that have moved on.

    I can't say I am even remotely moved by any of the
    current dnb. The new Polar track "Innocent" off of
    Certificate 18 and the last Blame "The Sigma" are the
    exceptions. And that last Sonar Circle - Havoc EP was
    wicked!!

    Splintered? You mean divided between those that want
    to make crappy rnb diva dnb and those that use the
    same old hard & dark formula. Oh and those that want
    to make 92 rave techno revival dnb. Yeah, I guess it
    is divided a little. But it's not like the old days
    when the artists actually had a unique sound.

    > future cut - midnight (promos out now!)
    > amazing tune.. late 60s/spiritual soul flava

    Really? That must be a huge departure from their
    normal sound. I've always rated them as one of my
    absolutely least favorite acts. That "whiplash" tune
    interesting for a few listens, but everything else
    that i have heard has been total shite.

    I'll check it out. Hospital has put out some really
    nice releases.

    I'm casually keeping an ear out for decent dnb, but I
    don't expect to find any anytime soon. The older
    stuff is still much more satisfying. And the broken
    beat stuff is great stuff. Cheers
