i still play disco but the disco era is dead. if the sounds morph then they
aren't the same as they used to be. in a time when there were labels
manufacturing the music that was in that era, there was a plentiful amount
coming out of it and there isn't now.

that's because the marketing people have no clue what they are talking
about, i did say that the term was bastardised by the media into a new music
form.
who really cares though about this, i think it is dead and i moved on? if
you think it is still around then sure, go for it! i respect what you say -
in the end it doesn't matter. music is music. good music is quality music.
:)
we could endlessly banter about this but we don't solve anything and we keep
circling around each other with comments and arguments. let's just listen
to the music.
> I think to be properly "acid jazz" it's got to have a bit of jazz in it, no?
okay, but that's quite vague.
All the best,
