Inclusion of "jungle"[edit]

i don't believe it's accurate to include that he worked in the genre of jungle. out of thousands, i've heard only one song in the genre of jungle and one in the genre of gabber that sampled afx, in genres where sampling of other songs is quite prevalent. plus, very few of his tracks even include a breakbeat or jungle subbass. yes, he has experimented on the genre in things like hangable auto bulb and drukqs, but i would be hesitant to say his tracks are jungle... with perhaps the exception of what i would say are most notably s950tx16wasr10 and blackbox life recorder 21f. why is intelligent dance music not listed as a genre that he produces if he is listed on that article as a major contributor to it?

This site is based on reliable secondary sources. Six reliable secondary sources report that he makes jungle. His is idiosyncratic jungle, just as his techno is also unique. There’s plenty of jungle on Richard d James LP and drukqs and on various projects like smojphace and the tuss. Cambial foliar❧ 07:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
drukqs is primarily drill n bass but i would say it's a lot closer to jungle than smojphace, which is by no means jungle at all. the run the place red remix is raggacore and i'd like to see anyone play it at normal speed to a bunch of junglists. do also take note of afx's rym (https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/aphex-twin) which quotes jungle for none of the albums you mentioned (does it for any?) but it does list idm for almost all of his albums.

We do not use rym here because it is User-generated content and is an unreliable source. Cambial foliar❧ 18:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and yet discogs is referenced several times throughout the article to collate information on releases, even though it is explicitly referenced in WP:UGC Dracodrago1330 (talk) 02:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
