Totally exquisite bits in jungle

[blissblogger]

Is there any other dance genre that has made such an artform of the intro?

The reverby keyboard in this is the most exquisite out of a lattice of exquisite bits

Ironically, despite all the trouble taken with it, most of the time, in the dance, the intro would not get played - well, unless there was a rewind, I guess.

For good reason the lion's share of analytic attentions with jungle goes to the breaks, and then the bass.

But I feel like there is something genre-unique to the way synths and keyboards are used - anyone who produces care to comment?

Like the flickery dainty delicious link at the start of this, and passim

There is a particular doubled flicker at 3.20 and great hi-hats also

Exquisite reverb-hazed gently cascading piano figure pops up throughout but at 4.22 there is a long sequence of that seems to be more shimmery and hazily elusive

The glancing doubled-delayed eerie melody-riff that comes in at 3.05



And then on the "London Side" a 6.37 there is this strange coda - immense sense of gravity and awe, like stepping into a vaulted temple

another great intro....

at 1.30 the sighing drooping drones

at 3.28 a breakdown, synth waverings, and then 3.53 melted, awe-floored murmurs

Perfect description.

Heard it before but feels like the first time again
