hip hop doesn't have people holding dubs for 1 year though droid so you can't make the jungle comparison. by the time most of the big 95 tunes were in the shops, they'd been rinsed on the pirates already. kinda alongside the cult of the big rave DJ which killed the scene stone dead.

I usually say '93 for jungle and Barty says '93 is embryonic, '94 is fully formed and articulated. So which you prefer is a matter of taste really.

i prefer 2017 drill to 2016 drill. wu tang solo project to 36 chambers. i like things when they hit their stride.

typical south london opinion. nah, 92 is embryonic, 93 is the peak, 94 is the full formation with many peaks, but already there is a feeling if you listen to enough 94 tapes you can feel the wow factor ever so slightly fading. this happens to every genre once it crystalises into a singular genre as opposed to hardcorejungleraggamuffintechno.

even the b-side of lt. bukem logical progression is basically 92-93 era jungle, and that was released in 91. I'll upload on youtube if i can find a way of circumventing the strike.

= embryonic jungle


= embryonic happy hardcore

You're more likely to favour the embryonic stage if you were there because you remember the excitement of it. All those new paths into the future opening up. Otherwise it can seem a bit underdone

maps onto new labour economic boom just waiting for the crash to sink into miserable austerity. :D

Personally I'm an enemy of progress. I'm a friend of rupture and year 0 moments. 'progress' *sniffs hautily* it's just a bit like waiting for the siren in the 10th minute of a tribal house track isn't it? why would anyone want to prolong their orgasm when they are banging someone from down the pub? you probably hate each other anyway.

A lone figure in the snow. Wind whips the streets, slashing at exposed fingers and car tops. Steam hangs in the air. A hollowed-out subway car rattles past...

I'm surprised it's this even. Obviously they're both great, but I expected OB4CL to end up with a pretty decisive lead for some reason.

Me too. I thought dissensus was a Cuban Linx forum. In the wider world I'd expect a 50/50 sheep and goats split.

I'm born in the year of the sheep. A most inauspicious year. It's why I'm a total failure. But I'd rather be a goat. So Raekwon=goats.

Wait. A plot twist.

Is it the Year of Ram, Sheep, or Goat?
The ambiguity has whipped up discussion in the English world. Actually, when used without attributes, the Chinese character Yang can refer to all of the forgoing ruminants. However, in terms of traditional culture, the zodiac symbol is more likely a Goat, as it is commonly seen among Han People. The images of goats often appear on Chinese New Year stamps and paper-cuts. To ordinary Chinese, it seems the confusion never bothers them. They may take goat as the zodiac animal, but prefer to buy a sheep mascot, because it is more lovely and fluffy.

Wiley is a sheep goat too. 1979. Bred for slaughter. There is always a rush to have a child before a sheep goat year comes round to spare your child the curse.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Sheep / Goat is the eighth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac. The Years of the Sheep include 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027, 2039, 2051...

Sheep (goat, or ram) is among the animals that people like most. It is gentle and calm. Since ancient times, people have learned to use its fleece to make writing brushes and fur to keep warm. The white cute creature often reminds people of beautiful things.
