However, I think it'd be interesting to see someone exploring drum'n'bass and ska....or maybe even trying to synthesize them. Granted, I'm not a big ska fan, and it might turn out to be crap, but if someone were to do this, I'd at least like to hear it. <<<< This is interesting, because the first time I heard the D'n'B Spring Heel Jack was their "Lee Perry" single, which samples an early ska track by (funnily enough) Lee Perry, called "What is This?". Ok so its actually at the point where ska was getting slowed down somewhat into the rocksteady/reggae rhythm but its close. There was once a track by Longsy D called "This is Ska" at the height of the aciiid phenomena in the UK, which was a mixture of Acid House and Ska, which was more obviously ska and a lot of fun. It was also definately dance music altho'n whether y'could tag it as "Intelligent" is another matter. martin np Plug eps nl The best of Lee Perry and "The Upsetters" (research)
