basically this is what i call a fishing thread. trying to tempt barty into saying stuff like this
not in 94, probably not by late 93 either. the snare emphasis moving away from the 2 and 4 is one of the things that delineates jungle from hardcore. jungle's physicality; the way it tugs you sideways, the way it pulls you off balance, is all dependant on it not landing on both the 2 and 4 in the same bar.

photek came to mind but when i went back and listened just now, it wasn't quite as, err, scientific as i remember it being at the time. i thought tracks like KJZ, hidden cameras and Ni - Ten - Ichi - Ryu were so futuristic but now sound fine but probably not up the the challenge of this topic.

I think by 95 things got waaaaaaay less physical. hardcore-jungle is way more frantic than jungle proper.

Jungle is the gift that keeps on giving. When the music was new I was a teenager. Now 20+ years later I listen to tracks again and still discover new nuances and ideas regarding the craft of breakbeat manipulation.
