I am still a total sucker for Claude Young's remixes of Jacob's Optical Stairway's "Solar Feelings" too - I'm not sure if I can remember a more successful experiment in fusing jungle-type drum programming with Detroit melody/sound design aesthetics.
Ultimately, though, I think that the purist in me stopped me exploring that field any further: I ended up thinking that the presence in my record collection of both "proper" jungle and "proper" Detroit techno kind of nullified my need to own records which spliced the two genres together. But if I'd come across more work that was as impressive as Claude's remixes of JOS, I might well have paid more attention!
