And IDM isn't? How many people are there trying to copy Aphex Twin and
Autechre? Just about every IDM record I hear these days are copying
Autechre's drum pattern style. And I'm not saying that there isn't
some great IDM stuff coming out. 

I too was really into to drum n bass a year ago and I still am. There
was a period of stagnation, that's true. Everything started to sound
the same, but that has all changed. There has been some really awesome
records to coming out over the last 6 months and from what I have
heard of on dubplates the next 6 months will be just as great.

Exactly the energy is great. If you see a really awesome drum n bass
dj like Fierce, J Majik, Ed Rush, etc. it's better than anything. Even
though I still really like techno, I just don't get the same sense of
energy, freshness, etc. as I do with a good d n b dj.
But then again I have yet to see Jeff Mills or Claude Young spin.

That what most house, breaks, and trance does to me. To bad that 95%
of what you hear when you go to any club, event, etc.
