Vs. by Acidfrog This little ditty is in reaction to all these songs i've been hearing lately by guys goin' "check out my new jungle track Acid.!!" and have the track end up being some kinda weird experimen- tation with elevator music and drumloops gone crazy. heh :) Anyways, I hope this XM clears up better defines what makes a proper jungle track as opposed to break- beat. Part A is an example of BreakBeat. defined by the simple sped up hip-hop loop repeating over and over being interrupted by a simple backspin effect. Thats breakbt Part B is JUNGLE. Characterised by the hip-hop loop being physically chopped up and manipulated. Notice in how the loop evolves through pat- terns 6 and 7 with pattern 7 changing the structure slightly not to ruin the groove but make it more listenabl Some jungle toons also have nice fat rolling basslines which could constitute as a melody in itself.. These bass lines can also be found in Breakbeat, especially around the '92 '93 'Dark' era when break was evol- ving into its more art -istic brother Jungle. Anyways, I hope this helps anyone interes- ted. -af/c+ cgoodman@express.ca
