Again, the distinction seems arbitrary.  I bought several comps w/ "jungle"
in the title (before I realized this was a bad idea), and I've got quite a
bit of Photek (5 of the 6 PHTK 12s, numerous remixes, other aliases, and of
course the Virgin stuff).  Stylistically both Photek & Studio Pressure seem
to have much more in common with the artists I mentioned than anything I've
seen labeled "jungle".  Maybe the Aquarius stuff is jungle.  Is there any
way to quantify or qualify why you'd label Photek jungle?  Listen to The
Hidden Camera, or the EBTG remix and tell me what's jungle about them.

PS  If anyone has PHTK 2 (Form & Function 2), and wants to trade it for any
of PHTK 1-6, or some other Photek release,  let me know.

Here's a clue people - this emoticon means "nudge nudge, wink wink, know
what I mean, know what I mean, say no more, say no more, a nod's a good as
a wink to a blind man".  In other words, don't take it too seriously.  So
get over your own bad selves & learn to lighten up.
