As follows up appear to confirm, the problem with "current" and "Jungle"in the same phrase crops up if you never liked No U-Turn, and are quietly cursing the way Nico, Trace et al turned drum'n'bass on its head. Some people say "come on, the music hasn't changed that much", but I reckon something really has changed in the character of at least what gets played out. So much is now about a big dirty bass-line and one groove. And structurally so much of it is so similar - bass and beat with a few other sounds, then a breakdown to the bass and introduce a new sound, then just back to where you were. For the record, I find most drill'n'bass or whatever a noodly irrelevance, so it's not like I'm afraid of a dancefloor... I just much prefer something more rolling, with the emphasis on breaks and shifts in dynamics.
