Drill'n'bass isn't a sustaining genre - it's a novelty IMO. The 
interesting stuff will happen when the techniques and ethos (basically 
fuck around with as much of the break and sounds as possible) 
cross-breeds into other stuff. This is happening already - a good 
example IMO is that Ae Certificate 18 remix.

Been reading a bit too much _Solaris_?

The new stuff sounds pretty organic to me - still with that Ae coldness 
and kind of clinical outlook but with the sounds they're using.

Sorry - that wasn't a sentence.

How was Sprawl then with Mike P. and Jega? I was going to go but started 
caning _Goldeneye_ and then played my Main Street records and then 
couldn't be arsed.
