I was chatting with another forum member about this exact phenomenon not long ago. DnB lasted longer without being spoiled, and I wonder if that’s mainly down to the expansion of the Internet.
Anyway, I think DnB went downhill beyond 2001.
I preferred stuff like Ram Trilogy, Bad Company, Moving Fusion, Ed Rush & Optical, etc.

See, I come from a slightly later era so a little biased towards 2001 and a bit onwards, but still feel the same way. It all turned a bit formulaic through masses of production with little thought for what was being produced.
On of my best times was a year of being given free reign at ordering any Vinyl I wanted when working in HMV.

Still very much a fan, and still trawl the net for progressive stuff, but I do feel like the whole things expanded and burst a few years ago when it all hit the US. A bit like how dubstep was in the old Rinse.fm days before it was EDM'd to oblivion.
Anyway. These have been on repeat for a couple of days. Former has strong Calibre hints.
