As some people think it's becoming trendy I also find it funny how it's
become, to a certain extent, un-trendy amongst other people trying to be
'trendy' (the ones who have been at it for a while now), who are now _really
into_ drum & bass...oh wait, but that phenomenon's at least a year old
too.....whatever. We all know here that good music is good music and are
united in our desire to find as much of it as conceivably possible (as well as
in that 'oh shit' feeling when we've just blew the month's rent on a pile of
records/CDs).
I do enjoy the fact, however, that the publications that initially sprung up
with the 1990s acid jazz phenomenon (SNC, OTO) as their centerpoint have
maintained their coverage of the jazzy bands while accomodating the newer
styles.
