Sound Of The Underground.

Jungle Fever, a 1994 Documentary from Canal+ on the origins of Drum & Bass with some live footage, and interviews with MC's, DJs and producers. It's en Français, but most of the interviews are in English.
I love most of the Earth series as well as a lot of the Good Looking/Looking Good catalog (favorite: Logical Progression Level 1) but my favorite compilations are the Lacerba sets:
Lost In Space Drum 'n' Bass
Lost In Space Drum 'n' Bass Phase 00:02
Lost In Space Drum 'n' Bass Phase 00:03
Lost In Space Drum 'N' Bass 2000

Nice find, empath!
I suspect I'm going to spend the rest of my day listening to Jungle cassettes.
My inner fifteen year old feels moved to point out that when I say Jungle I mean Jungle, not the antiseptic jazzwank pap that is Drum & Bass. (Talking of which, Goldie's latest record is called 'Single Petal Of A Rose' and is, like Duke Ellington's original, inspired by the Queen. Really.)

The latest thing I heard from Goldie was his long-discussed/delayed album/soundtrack, Sine Tempus, released in 2008. I missed his Rufige Kru album, Memoirs Of An Afterlife, which came out in 2009. 'Single Petal Of A Rose' is a single, as far as I've seen, and it's included on his new 3CD compilation, The Alchemist - Best of 1992-2012.

Goldie is a don. He's working on two new things:
Also loved Aphrodite and Total Science when I first got into drum n bass. Nowadays, I'm listening to Goldie, Calibre's EXCELLENT Fabriclive mix (here's a 30-min promo mix from him) and Makoto's "Souled Out" (available via Spotify).

"'Pages' is one. That album will deal more with people like Flying Lotus, Burial, Photek, D-Bridge and Total Science."^from an interview with Billboard earlier this month.
"We’re also doing a completely notated version of 'Timeless' with an 80-piece orchestra and choir"

I never realized that part of the jungle aesthetic was completely undecorated homes.

Hey, when you spend that much time decorating the beats, who's got time for the house?

That's the 'being skint' aesthetic.

Yeah, but I figured it would be one of those "skint, therefore walls are all covered with fliers from parties, or graffiti, or stolen street signs" aesthetic.

Bugbread's got a point. Even the most extreme poverty isn't really an excuse for totally barren walls. Witness the corrugated tin shacks of some of the most impoverished of, say, India, where the interior walls are covered with brilliant, colorful prints of Krishna and Ganesh and such.
I reckon those blokes just ain't interested in stuff on the walls.
