Has Snowboy changed radically over the years? When I first heard of
Acid Jazz, I bought an English compilatation that had "AJ" plastered
all over it. It really was nothing more than dance "lite" and one of
the featured stars was Snowboy. Being a big Latin fan I was excited
to hear what he would do but ended up being mildly nauseated. It was
just dance music with some percusssion.

Of course it's not fair to judge an artist solely by what must be
his first recordings, but I was so turned off I haven't heard him
since. I'd guess these tracks were from 1988-90. Is he still doing
the same kind of thing?
