I so disagree with you.  Jungle is very static and rehashed.  I used to be a 
big fan a bit over a year ago, when I began to notice that these tunes were 
more and more the same repetive shlock.  Sure the first time I heard some 
driving dark tech-step I was amazed and psyched by the energy it could create 
on a dance floor.  But it soon became boring.  And now it just gives me a 
headache if I'm forced to listen to it for more then 10 minutes.

I'm looking forward to not going to Grooverider and Fabio this thursday.
