i don't want to slag off dubstep, because i've done it enough now, but come on, people... what is all the fuss about?
having heard great things about it, but having always missed hearing it when i've made my now rare (and invariably disappointing) forays into dubstepworld, i thought i should give it a chance.
unfortunately, i wasn't exactly surprised to have my worst fears confirmed.
although you can say that it isn't a remix (going under the name of diigital mystiks, rather than richie spice) and that it's a whole new, stand-alone recontextualisation of the original, i'm still utterly, utterly underwhelmed by the tune itself.
it's not even subverted the tune's core intention by taking spice completely over to the darkside (which might have been interesting, considering the upful consciousness of original), or anything clever or playful like that, it's just uninspiring, plodding and absolutely tiresome.
the rhythm is bloody awful and the whole thing sounds like a mediocre kind of dirge to me.
i really, really don't get this at all and would be very grateful if anyone could explain the appeal, seriously.
