    Well... maybe it´s nice to include it in the acid-jazz genre then? Or post
    acid jazz?

    I think you're missing the point -- I'm not talking about a sub-genre that
    would cause music to be miscategorized time after time. I'd like to see the
    complete opposite, so that you could actually go to a record store and find
    your type of music where you would expect to find it -- not under "rock" or
    "pop", but not under "techno" either. I'¨m not looking for another segment
    of a segment, but rather one that would encompass all of the types of music
    that gets discussed on this forum.

    >I totally agree. Alhtough genre names help you finding music it sometimes
    narrows your view. I found myself buying albums only because they were hyped
    as nu-jazz or downbeat and was kind of dissappointed. On the other hand, I
    would have missed some albums only because they were categorized as rock,
    techno or whatsoever. This list is a great source of information without
    that narrowing view. Let's keep it this way.
