: perhaps new breed is the exception (I still think it's kinda groovy)..
: but when labels such as 'acid jazz records' start sacrificing the quality
: of the music over the image of the record label, this is what i would
: classify as over commercialisation. just have a listen to some of the
: shlock that this label has released lately: Totally wired 12 (hmm..indie
: almost.. nah not even good for that), Quiet boys..(yawn..perhaps 'A.J.'
: most boring release to date)..

you're right but that might not be the whole truth. anyway, in most
cases 'totally wired' kind of compilations (whenever it's acid jazz
or not) goes too far out from the original idea if record label is
willing to release too many parts of serie. in that case it's for
sure so called commercialism, like releasing without current reason
or attitude. problem is like if they start it small and whole thing
just goes bigger and bigger in a short while,before long they loose
their credible. labels should just calm down but not too much ...

peace out
