you're right...i think it might be just because I've heard it so many damn
times, that it has started to hurt...(i even own the cd...) it definitely
is an essential part of the American movement of acid jazz, but it doesn't
fit into the London club origins of the new sound of acid jazz in the late
80s...so, if one is looking to sequence the evolution of the AJ sound, it
should be considered, but if one is looking for the origins, they need to
look deeper...

keep-keep bouncin'...
