that's probably the main thin that's wrong with it, and tons of other
things coming out at the moment.  full of flashy sequencing techniques
at the expense of having something that /stirs/ you.  it would be
great if jega could pull off a decent genre jungle album, i'd rush out
and buy it, but i don't think he's capable of it.
