If you like Squarepusher you have >to give jega a go, in fact i prefer Jega.=20 <cough, splutter> i could go on all day about how awful i thought jega's album was, tom jenkinson has more talent in his left big toe, etc.. how anyone could take what was last year's definitive drill'n'bass album (and i mean that in a negative sense) over any of tj's output, i will never understand. >Check out the 12"s on Skam and >also the 12" he put out on Planet Mu. Top class scary electronica. jega has got way too much of a good reputation.. for producing one great ep (years ago..), and one pretty good ep, he certainly crops up a lot in conversations. thing is, no-one i know remotely likes what he's doing now. and he had the gall in an interview to complain about so much music these days being derivative.. ha! i mean, if you're going to do dark techstep jungle, at least work on the production.. i don't think grooverider is chomping at the bit to play jega's tracks, which sound like they've been recorded on a dictaphone. <waves>
