JUNGLE COMPO 2 RESULTS (9/30/96)
------ ----- - ------- ---------

FIRST OFF:

  Props to everybody on their beats (esp those who used time-streches :) ),
there wasn't a shitty break in group! The outcome basically came down to
who could do what with the other samples. On to the results:


WINNERS : Yacob & Celsius

  Yacob - After listening to all the songs a couple of times through, I kept
coming back to this one. The sinister bassline kept me interested and the
song changed up enough to keep it from sounding repetitive. Wish I could've
heard and amen break in this one.

  Celsius - Never to dissappoint, Celsius comes out with some FRESH beats
in this one. Probably the most dynamic song in the group, this song will keep
you interested. While I didn't like the bass as much ass Yacob's, I felt that
it was too hard to have just one winner because both songs had their strong
points.


RESPECT: (in no particular order) Slc, Juice, Pan1k, Ooto, HBomb

  Slc - This song sounds like some definant work was put into it. It changes
up quite a bit and while I'm not a big fan of the high pitched samples, this
song deserves the credit due. Honorable mention.

  Juice - This song had a fresh bassline , but didnt change up quite as much so
as some of the others. Big props for the breakdown around
position 25 (the time-stretched 'rewind')! Nice use of the reverbed
breaks also.

  Pan1k - The most interesting part of this song was the use of time
stretching in the middle of a sample (used at the very beginning, good
technique). The breaks were good, but didn't change up enough as much as I
would've liked. A bassline would have been an added bonus. I see improvement
from his earlier stuff though, so I expect even better shit in the future!

  Ooto - Excellent beats. Liked the use of the filter at the beginning. This
song has a great start, but the bassline gets kind of funky shortly there
after. This can overlooked though, as It's very easy to kick back and
concentrate on the fresh breaks in this song.

  HBomb - Mad use of the justice break got me a little nostalgic for the old
days ('92!), not too say that this song sounded old! Quite the contrary,
HBomb brings out breaks that weren't even thought of back in the day..
While basically a good song, the bassline left a little to be desired.


NOTES:

  It was VERY hard to judge this thing, thank GOD I won't have to do it for
the next one (as I'll get my own chance to be judged :( )! Respect to all
the artists and their crews for their support.

  See you all in the next one!
