I think that Drum 'n' Bass found its perfection as drill 'n' bass / breakcore.

good man, its all about the wide tastes.
 
^^lol you obviously haven't a clue what you're talking about. You're probably listening to the wrong types of dnb, if you think most of it is chaotic. It's ok, though most shit talkers like happy hardcore, hardstyle or some other bullshite =)

I just picked up the unmixed Focuz Recordings chronicles of the deep cd and been bumping it all this week and those tracks totally shit all over a lot of dnb.

Agreed. The stuff I don't like I don't listen to it or even go out and hear it, so it doesn't really bother me for the most part.:D

They don't play drum & bass anymore and appear to have used the same synth riff for their last 10 singles.

I don't mind it but it's not DnB anymore. I still love the older pendulum, Spiral is my favourite DnB track ever.... I also like Vault, Masochist and most of the tracks from hold your colour (excluding slam & fasten your seatbelts).

I'm ambivalent towards the new album but it's not DnB. I think you'll find alot of heads get irritated by the element it has attracted to DnB. I for one hate the gaggles of teenie boppers and munted gurners it attracts to alot of the major DnB events around here.

p.s. Ben Sage Rocks!
 
Yeah, for me I just really dont like the sounds. When I started listening to jungle it had a totaly different vibe, it felt like ol Wu Tang records sped up, it had this grainy, smokey vibe about it. Pendulum is just too synthetic and cheesy for me, the sounds they used are the reason I didnt listen to happy hardcore back then, too plastic. But whatever floats ur boat init thats just my tastes.

Ben Sage, lol, u know what Ive never really took the time to check out his tunes, but he posts over on Dogs On Acid quite regularly and he seems like a pretty sound geezer whenever Ive conversed with him. Glad hes doing well and people like his stuff.
 
If it sounds like an off balanced washing machine fucking a metal trash can, as a litter of puppies tumbles down mulitiple flights of stairs I love IT. I'm talking about DNB, Jungle, Jump up, and break beat that is!!!

I lol'd at this. =D

Having now attended a number of kickass drum n' bass nights at various venues, frequently tripping, I have decided this is a fine genre of music for the most part. It's a lot of fun to dance to, very high energy. It just has a very different sound from any genre you can find on the radio in the US -- R&B probably comes the closest. It's rare to hear mainstream tunes for which the main melody is played in the deep ranges, or the beat is so fast and complicated.

But it's the use of bass which fascinates me the most. It takes a very good, powerful, high quality subwoofer to really appreciate drum n' bass. Whenever I've listened to it on psychedelics, I've had this fantasy of scouring the world and founding this institute which would be a repository of all instruments that could put out a very low pitch -- gongs, tubas, dij, stringed instruments, enormous organ pipes, etc -- and using them both to put on live dnb shows, and to make hi-fi recordings for synthesization.

I've actually had the same fansasy about a vibrating washing machine, also the vibrating foundation of a building, producing the bass notes. I've noticed a number of things we don't normally think of as musical instruments putting out tones that remind me of those in a synthesized bassline. Trucks, for example, when you're up close to them.

I imagine dnb being very popular among deaf people, since you can truly feel it as much as you hear it.
 
Ben Sage - Drop in the Ocean & Krooked - Serious Sound , i think "the sagester" aka the lord of darkness just reminded me why i love dnb <3
