>Yes, there are other German labels well worth checking out, but Compost is
probably the best. Unfortunately, there have always been more imitators than
originators in the German AJ scene. In early 1993 the media caught up and
declared Acid Jazz to be hip. During the following year apparently any band
that could be filed under Acid Jazz got a record deal. So each of the
following labels had its ups and downs.
