Oh, I didn't know they were already out in the States on Shadow. I,
unfortunately, bought mine as imports on NinjaTune. Which basically means I
paid more than I needed to.

Instinct, I would assume, buys the rights to most of the songs and then
releases them on comps, kinda like K-Tel (for awhile Instinct must have been
buying the rights to whatever they could get cheap). Instinct does have a
bunch of full-lengths out: NightTranes, No Se, Renaissance Quartet

Its too bad they, or other company, haven't picked up the DJ Cam disc
stateside. It is definitely in my 1995 top 3.

After Hours 2 is part of the "This is Acid Jazz" series and that is great.

- BTW, I had heard for awhile that Astralwerks bought the rights to a bunch
of Mo Wax stuff. Whatever happened to that deal?
