Also, if the description "dance music you can't dance to" can be applied to Cabaret Voltaire, how much more can it be applied to Jungle!
It may be tricky to do so with grace or style, but it's still enormous fun to bust a move to! There's nothing quite like the explosion of movement which occurs on the drops in a sweaty jungle/dnb club.

I totally love Lexis, who made cinematic, beautifully sculpted post-techstep for Certificate 18 in the late 90s. Posting "Irrampent", one of my favourites by him - the beats on this are mindbogglingly good: http://www.zshare.net/audio/87602446672097/

DJ Rap & Voyager's provocatively-titled Intelligence album from 1995 is actually very good! I didn't know it existed until I stumbled across it in a shop.
Except that the motivational R&B (meets Kate Bush circa The Sensual World) ballad "Two Loves" should be the first entry in a thread titled "Weirdly Compelling Strategic Errors"

Heh Voyager is Pete Parsons (who is like the engineer on a million jungle tracks.) Never heard this either (except for "Ruffest Gunnark" and Engineers Without Fears version of "Spiritual Aura"--no idea if either mix is the same, but both originals are quite good.) I'd forgotten how ridiculously attractive she was. Definitely a DJ who jungle's faceless DJ/producer meme did no favors for.

yeah she was my crush #1 between the releases of 'spitirual aura' and her solo pop single 'bad girl'

Good find. There's some great stuff on the Peshay mix (which I got down on tape at the time). Going to have to check some more of these - recommendations please...

what's up with the "alternate versions"?
― m0stlyClean
the mixes came from different sources? the first Krust link seems to contain some radio interference (inaudible on the alternative mix).

Always liked Ray Keith for a bit of the ruffer stuff, anything with Zinc on it, Mickey Finn and Aphrodite obv. A lot of these I don't remember outside the context of the show itself, used to have quite a few on tape but the programme was pretty relentless on a good night.

this is the place on the internet where I say Marvellous Cain - Gun Talk has to be one of the best full lengths in jungle!
