Talk:History of drum and bass

All the Alex Romane quotes? Found a clip of this guy's album on Youtube & it's okay if a bit typical 1992 but come on hardly the first artist LP out from that era. 4 Hero, Rebel MC, Shut Up & Dance & loads of others I or someone else could probably name had LPs out from that time.

Half of the track samples are completely useless. Of the 30 seconds snippets, you get 29 seconds of an intro which doesn't tell us anything about the music style, followed by one seconds of the actual drum beat, bassline and melody. 83.77.246.41 (talk) 11:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Following discussion on the main drum & bass article page, the section from that article has been split off here.

Please note that all the controversies over whether drum & bass is jungle and vice versa have raged for two years now. There is a seperate old school jungle article for those who want to declare it a seperate genre with a different history to drum & bass. Please edit that page if you so wish to. This article is meant to be a history of the genre that has continually evolved from We Are I.E. till the present day.

When editing ALWAYS add references. The drum & bass article was qualified as a good article based on the references, images and sounds contained (and still contained) therein.

Random junglist thoughts will detract from the quality of this article.

This is not DOA or any other junglist forum, but a serious article so keep it serious and that means show respect to other's thoughts and your own.

:The lead is too self-referential, the line "This article deals with the history of this musical style." is rather unencyclopedic, do I have your permission to re-write it? Themindset 16:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The image :Image:Bad Company The Nine.ogg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.

:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Using the audio to show an example of jump-up without including the bass drop does nothing at all to serve as an example of the genre, the intro is very arbitrary and one track to another will not relate at all. Only after the drop could one actually realize that it is indeed jumpup. Please change this example audio to serve functionally.

My understanding is that the basslines of techstep/neurofunk were very dependant on hardware samplers, and that the basslines were created from sampling bass sounds, adding effects, resampling, adding effects and so on. Whilst this is different from sampling directly from other people's songs, the sampler was instrumental in the neurofunk sound, especially the E-mu samplers with their z-plane fileters. I think this is worth a mention. 81.6.219.141 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:05, 10 June 2011 (UTC).

I believe that the two articles overlap enough to cosider merging them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.3.25 (talk) 18:51, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

:I think the two articles are too big. It should be kept separated. Ftiercel (talk) 04:42, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Just to make sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamMZ (talk • contribs) 23:46, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
