I wasn't saying that it wasn't good because it wasn't rare, I was saying it wasn't worth trading for something rare because it's still quite available. > 2) Who says that anything Squarepusher has done is Jungle? it's kindof > junglish but it's not jungle, as defined by the genre. and Rumble isn't > hardcore either. It's acid. Well, due to the fact that squarepusher got two nominations for 'Drum & Bass Album of the Year' on the '97 IDM poll and ended up winning, I say that a large percentage of the people on this list would classify squarepusher as jungle. What's the definition of jungle anyway? I'd say it's 150 to 190 (aprox) bpm breakbeat, incorporating chopped up beats (but not always) and massive b-lines... Also saying that the Rumble EP 'isn't hardcore...it's acid' is a bit of a stretch. Anything with a 303 is acid? If someone says 'acid' to me, I'd think 'acid house', not 190 bpm breaks with acid lines. Most people define all these silly genres mainly by their beats. The tracks on the rumble ep are all in the hardcore range and follow that structure. > I think if someone wants Rumble EP it's a worthy trade :) I agree, but would you trade a joyrex 12" for it? Doubt it... word, brock. np: D'cruze - 'Cruzin'
