The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?)
Posted on: 19.08.2008 by Random X
Every now and than, a musical genres foremost poet or pioneer will come forth claiming the style is dead.

We've already seen it in punk, hip hop, metal, rock and opera already.

Stupidest thing even, that this seems to be some kind of "retro- cycle" that passes along every decade.

With the coming of styles like dubstep amongst others, purists are really keen on claiming that these styles are no derative or subgenre of our beloved DnB.
Better yet, they utter the words "DnB is dead!"

If your own creative impulses can't cope with a style any longer, why claim it is dead in the first place? Couldn't it just evolve into other (sub)styles?
No, kill your idols instead!
There seems to be no better way to start something new, than completely destroy any relations with the past.

How can a genre with high BPM rates be dead, while comparing it to the ever so low BPM rates of the ever so vivid dubstep?
Ofcourse, BPM rates are not a factor in this case, but people listening and enjoying DnB are.
There are still heaps and heaps of bass-heads still jumping their shoes to the sounds of d&b pioneers as Krush, Bukem, Dom & Roland and all others still producing.

Agreed that the old spirit needs to be revived. Still, it's no reason to don the old lass after that much joy she has given us.

Drum and Bass is dead? It seems ever so vibrant as it was in 1996!

Yeah, your totally right, same as the companies in NZ who used to make BZP products and now are making other 'legal pills'.

ounces lol no... and yea its the same price as the real thing here.
and yea im sure you could recreate the high with just a few herbs that you can buy from cosmic corner, they sell bulk stuff like blue lotus 50g for like $15-20nz im pretty sure, lions tail is the same. great to smoke with a coffee and good to use for a tea also, tastes a whole lot better than weed tea anyway, but thats pretty much just bongwater

Does it come in ounces ? :P

Holy crap that stuff is expensive, i can buy the real deal for that much !

I rate spice as an alternative, I used it solidly for a month when I found out I had a urine test for a job application, and I was a heavy smoker back then.

It made it much easier to hang around all my mates toking up without giving in, its actually a pretty pleasant high.

Looked into buying all the ingredients in bulk to make it myself, for about 150 USD you can buy everything in it enough to make like 6 oz i believe, compared to 20 NZD for 1 g! (NZD = roughly .5 USD)

lol that wiki article isnt very surprising. like pretty much every legal substitute, its way worse for you than the original and way less awesome...

im not thats exactly the same stuff we have here, but its a legal alternative to pot. filled with several other herbal highs like damiana and blue lotus. and maybe maranilla but maranilla is less likely to be in there mebelieves

o yea the blue lotus, in that doco they were eating whole marinated flowers. i do wonder how strong it must be and how concentrated itd have to be to be a smokeable, it got damiana (lions tail) in it too? same effects mebelieves. i cant help but believe blue lotus is just a distraction for some other crazy unregistered ingredient
Ryan Morales
18.02.2009
Yeah mang, blue lotus one of the main ingredients in Spice is also quite similar to MDMA as well, and was used heavily by the ancient Egyptians for rituals n getting hiiiigh. Awesome.

I actually really like spice, nearly as much as weed. Nice to mix n match. Decent enuf replacement tho. And it doesnt give you as chronic a stoneover.

They are trying to ban it here as well. Which would be so fuckn fail. Ban cigarettes if your going to ban any other thing you you can smoke. Fuckers. Its harder tho cos its such a mix of ingredients that its kinda hard to ban it.
