hmmm... i guess so. i do come from a background of idm (intellegent dance
music) and industrial. a lot of the jungle/dnb i listen to is very sample
heavy.. lots of snit bits of voices or whatnot... in general i find that
this type of dnb tends to be a little slower...

i do enjoy the soothing sounds of the more ambient side of techno.. gads.
so i guess your classifications may be right.. altho i wouldn't call any
of the above "ambient".. way to much of a beat to fall in that category
for me.. but that is in comparison to other tunes i would deem "ambient"
in my collection..
