exploding diva-bliss
luv luv luv this particular vibe - bliss-2-dark - ecstasy edging into the panic-rush
late 1992 - 1993 - early 1994 are the temporal coordinates
[late addition via Sadmanbarty Dissensus thread on technological abstractions of the human voice)
happy hardcore continues the divas but the sense of shattering - a dangerous excess - has left the music, leaving just fastbounce
meanwhile the ambient jungle carries on deploying divas - beautifully, but it's more exquisitely done, in the classy style of all that Masters of Work type house
perhaps cos it's no longer pitched-up, but timestretched so it sounds more like proper singing, properly human
whereas the stuff that E-lectrifies, transfixes, is the "closer to fireworks than soul" stuff
these would be cusp works on the edge between diva-distress and nu-smooth
