Also been on this - a half-size train pulled by a steam engine. For many decades, the smallest railway in the world. They have a carriage with a tea room, you can have a cup of tea while on the short journey to Dymchurch.

I have been on a steam train - but only on a historic line deliberately kept that way (near Corfe Castle in Dorset) Also Kieran aged 4 was really into Thomas the Tank Engine so we went to this open day thing where they had working steam trains and they put the faces of the characters, all the...

A bloke who recorded as Reel II Reel and was the brother of both Cool Hand Flex and Mike De Underground had the idea of Jungle for Lovers in the mid-90s. Unfortunately... A cover of the Sister Sledge song works slightly better

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

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

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

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...

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.

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

the first synth pad at 0.06.... then the second more woogly one comes in.... and then the classic Nookie piano figure the whole track is a supremely dainty slice of lover's jungle - the bass, the slipping and skidding drums, the vocals especially the "love love love" that comes in at 2.32

The intro to this is very tingly ASMR-y but especially love the ssssssibilant whisper voice at about 25 seconds in There's another really exquisite bit around 2 mins in where there's not quite a breakdown but a slowdown - everything goes into slow-motion and there's some ripply strings-y...

They use the term "mush" as a vaguely hostile form of address - that's like slang from the 70s. I remember the Scouser son in law in Till Death Do Us Part saying that to Alf Garnett.

"you gotta pick a pocket or two" (or a dustcap)

This Chippy chappy with the ginger beard seems to be the Fagin of this scene

Grimly fascinated by all these post-Bad Boy Chiller Crew mcs - 9 and 10 year olds acting gangsta

You can practically smell the Chicken McNuggets wafting off this one
