well, bowie is a "trend-follower", but he has been a "trend-setter" as well.
just think his stuff from early seventies, the stuff with iggy pop and the
things done wit eno and fripp (as has already been mentioned).
also many other artists jumped on the jungle-wagon as well: bj�rk, en vogue,
many other r�n�b artists with d�n�b remixes and shit. and still i don think
- say - bj�rk as shit music becaus she - or bowie - has taken influences.
who hasn�t?
dancingwise, when on a proper condition (punch drunk that is), harsh and
crude dnb is brilliant stuff, but at home i�d rather listen to any bj�rk�s
or dawid bowie�s jungle interpretations than technical itch.

that�s true, but are all the "original" tracks always that brilliant and
creative always? i tend to think that with any musical genre, be it dnb,
dteroit techno, breaks and beats, punk rock, classical, whatever, at least
90% of it is crap. call me music-hater and the one who spoils the party if
you like. i�m just being critical.

true. and what is "real" then? there is a hell lot of relativity in the
concept.
