Particularly: what directions has it gone in since neurofunk, and
what tracks are the very best examples of these directions?

I went to a jungle night last friday at the End and it was ace - lots
of good darkside stuff, real blast from the past. DJ Trace played,
and even dropped Mutant Revisited!

The biggest problem I find with drum and bass is that the good stuff
is not easy to find for a few reasons.
1. More than any other genre of mix music, there seems to be an
absolute premium on many dnb tunes being kept to white label or
limited issue on singles.
2. Many dnb artists don't seem to translate to a albums quite as
well. Many seem to get into other genres and styles and honestly
that music doesn't work as well as what they do best, this makes
their full lengths spotty.
3. At least living in the US, alot of the British dnb CDs are hard
as hell to find and when you do find them, they are freakin way
expensive. The indies that do this music just don't seem to have as
good distribution as some of the other labels.
4. Like hiphop, dnb suffers from production cloning. Someone comes
up with an interesting style, within a few months there are everyone
plays it out by basically copying what has been done, weakening what
made the originals good.
At least this is what I have noticed being interested in this music,
living in the middle of nowhere in the USA.
