I think the 'energy' comment is very much a subjective thing Tom. i.e. you think it is, I don't. but, you're confusing matters. I'm talking about music from 1991 or so. which then evolved into other things. this music was HUGE here as a youth culture thing, you couldn't escape it. Dan Butler and Gary will tell you - where I was living at the time, it was slap bang in the middle of all this, and it was far far larger than any musical sub genre you get today. i.e. 'the garage' thing or whatever. at school, virtually the entire year used to go to 'raves' where they played this music, it was post acid house explosion etc, and the music was changing, it wasn't that US sound any more, it was home grown. it wasn't so mixed up either, yeah, there was still a mix of dance musics, but the focus became narrower from that point onwards. yeah jungle and hardcore is energetic - but so obviously so - thats why it got so popular, it's hardly subtle music is it tom? the thickest cultural dullard going could work out that this was energetic music. there was no deep side to it. thats why it got so universally popular so quick. but anyway, I dunno what I'm rambling on about so much. _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
