Abstract Truth also had a full length CD out. I recall liking it but
thinking that Get Another Plan was the best thing on it. I would still
consider the original mix of Get Another Plan acid jazz just as I consider
Brand New Heavies, un-remixed early Jamiroquai and Incognito acid jazz. It's
upbeat and housey but I don't think of those tracks as house. Now the
Morales, Roger S, _________ (fill in the blank) house remixes THOSE I
consider house.

Hey all, I just picked up Rebirth of Cool seven, a 1998 release. While the
cover-work still says "acid jazz," the music inside is definitely more on
the jazzy house, electronica tip. The thing is, there are some great trax
just to listen to, which is my criteria, regardless of the tempo. The first
track, "Get Another Plan" from Abstract Truth has live musicians and a vocal
with LYRICS, if you can believe it. But yeah, acid jazz is being swallowed
up by house tracks. That's where the money's at, I guess. But Abstract Truth
is sweet... anyone know about some other product from them?
