RIP Jason Jinx
here's his cohort DB with a sweet tribute to NYC rave hardcore breakbeat stalwart Jason Jinx, who was involved in both STORMrave and NASA. This was written while he was still alive.

proto jungle
middle bit of this (from about 3.22 in), aka, "Danse", gets quite proto-junglistic
made in 1970!
Petite Suite (1970) I.Prélude II. Arioso III. Danse IV. Sérénade V. Toccata Groupe de Recherches Musicales de L'O.R.T.F. Each deliberately concise piece refers to a traditional musical form, both anecdotally and instrumentally. Successively: "Prelude", tuning and instrumental departure; "Arioso", dramatic form located between the air and the recitative (moans, cries, breaths, etc.); "Dance", simple and steady rhythm and energetic increase of contents; "Serenade", serenade (violin melody, vocals, music boxes, laughter, lullabies); "Toccata", finally, the brilliance, the fantasy and the virtuosity. The original elements of drum and guitar are due to Michel Foudrinoy and Jean-Pierre Vassout.
