Just looked it up and it's either uploaded in terrible quality or it's a drum 'n' bass tune missing the bass.

Germans were experts in getting drum and bass as wrong as possible.
But, you know, maybe drum and bass deserved its Germans.

It's ok. I felt violated when you admitted to liking this atrocity. And here we were all thinking you were a self-respecting, suave, sophisticated, theraregrooveman junglist. Too much time succkling at the nipple of Finney.
@WashYourHands as resident house mafia head honcho should have you hung, drawn and quartered.

Yeah, it was because I thought the comment saying "This is some of Thirdform's favorite music" was about DnB in general although it should have occurred to me that it meant "98-99 DnB was some of his favorite music" - I was also going for some bad "Dad humor" with how the word 'coincidence' is part of the track title, but then I guess the artist's name paradoxically negates that anyway.
At any rate, 98-99 is also some of my favorite music.
This is an underrated gem:
Maybe more of a head-nodder than a banger, but after ~1:30 is where it gets interesting for me with how those additional bass sounds make it funkier - especially how they are continually affected/filtered.
One thing that DnB has over jungle is that the space between sounds emphasizes the funk.
I also take exception to the idea that the various elements don't talk to each other. I mean, a lot of hardcore and jungle was really just about throwing down a splatter of sounds that also didn't really talk to each other in many cases or that the mids and highs (the flurry of snares and hi-hats) weren't really talking to themselves or other elements in the tracks, or in the the lows any more than in a lot of dnb.
It's kind of like people addicted to their smart phones that can't sit down to appreciate anything longer than a tiktok video saying that the problem with other forms of content is that it doesn't come to them fast enough and so whatever the other content is must be bad.

This is a new production.
sometimes, if you use sampled breakbeats, it makes them more effective if you use them in a way that makes them a part of the call and response, punctuates or plays off or emphasizes the other rhythms, and/or more effectively bring things to a crescendo.

Truly astonished nobody has uploaded the Open University clip with the "I can't accept Drum & Bass. We need Jungle, I'm afraid" soundbite.
Funny thing is that all the mash-ups I've heard have put the soundbite over turned-to-shite late'90s d+b, as opposed to propah rinse-out junglizm.

I did post it in the Jungle thread, but yeah, it probably would have been more appropriate here.
I also wasn't that taken by the tracks people did, and not that that they weren't just "propah" jungle, but also that people were turning out tracks in a matter of minutes.
