Hardly!

The SD lp isn't really a good one to base any theories on, since most of
it is extremely dated material.

I have a feeling that things are going to change fairly soon, with the
start being a massive backlash against the whole 2step/rez filter bass
thing that's been going on for the last few years.

More and more jungle dj's/labels/artists are popping up every day.

I still seem to be buying approximately five jungle releases to every
one from other genres.

And my girlfriend keeps on claming all of 'em as 'her' records, so I'm
not even allowed to play them in public anyway.

Only if it's of the non vocal type!
