What happened to "wet"?

Back in the day, i remember tracks being described as wet. For example, Digweed's Bedrock compilation, has this description at amazon :

"This album is by far Digweed's best release independent from collaborations with Sasha, the two discs feel like a journey through Digweed's mind, dark, funky, wet, and direct to the brain with lightning rods of progressive trance and house."

What does it mean!?

and where did it go?

it means that you will wet your pants when you hear it.
some even say that it may lead to juicing of the pants. both girls and boys.

In a production sense, wet generally means heavy on effects like delay, flanger, reverb, etc. Generally, it speaks of effects that add more to the sound. If this has anything to do with it, then they're probably saying that Digweed's album is what is now called atmospheric (since most "wet" effects give a sense of space).

Wet is still used today to refer to sounds that are heavy with delay and other such effects, but it tends to be a bit more negative, ie: "The lead is too wet for my tastes." A lot more examples can be found in the reviews on the producers promotion forum.

In the strictest sense, wet refers to the processed sound in an effect, while dry refers to the unprocessed sound, and can really apply to any effect.

Would a tune such as Pinkbox Special's "The French Don't Cry" be described as wet?? It's quite atmospheric and spacey. Not exactly "sexual" but a bit "romantic" i guess..
