I don't intend this as a diatribe against drum 'n bass because, while
not a huge fan, I do like the stuff. However, it seems like the best
talents in the experimental end of acid jazz are going towards jungle,
which to me is a great loss. Most every Ninja Tune, Mo'Wax et al
releases are either completely jungle or else half of the mixes are
jungle. Does anyone see this as the first signs of a dying genre or is
it a natural progression for this music? I see in the not so distant
future bands like the Ballistic Brothers who straddle the fence between
experimental and jungle as thriving while true jazzers like the New Breed
people either sink or jump on the bandwagon. What does everyone else think?
