recently ive been thinking about what attracted me to jungle obviously wasn't (not directly at least) the shock of the new, which in any case would not make much sense outside of my own consciousness, (as in, jungle would probably have given the kids in my school the shock of the new, but it obviously didn't) but the shock of a universe forming in front of my eyes. i get a feeling with some of the synthy post-punk stuff as well.
I like that emphasis that Kodwo Eshun put on hearing the impossible. that's always been my insatiable drive. if the shock of the new is the shock of the novel then it's quite boring and tawdry isn't it? better to have the shock of the impossible.
