forgot to mention that i've been really enjoying the Fourtet reworking of 2
Banks of 4, "Street Lullaby" and have seen a surprising amount of the
artists you mention at the tower records here in boston. haven't picked up
Sincere yet, but i probably will later this week. nothing worse than having
your tables packed away in transit.
also, some former "strictly junglists", chicago's Casper, in particular,
have completely switched over to UK Garage/2 Step rhythms.

Is anyone on the Acid-Jazz list getting into UK Garage or 2 Step?
Artful
Dodger, Dreem Team, MJ Cole, etc.? Everyone is talking about the new MJ
Cole album on Talkin' Loud like it has already won the Mercury Music
Award
prize...keep your eye out for that one.
It's close to impossible to get any of that stuff here in the
US. Satellite Records doesn't carry more than a few of the top tunes
(people over there tell me that the owners don't like that new sound so
they don't order it.) Breakbeat Science doesn't carry much of it (the
new
Revolution Magazine says that they do but I was there yesterday and they
had all of maybe 20 pieces.) It seems as if UK Garage will be a long
way
from making it here in the US although it's on Radio 1 in England daily.

This is a huge problem for BBS, imho. They're insuring their genre's
demise. With a retail operation that is so focused on a specific genre,
and almost no expansion into nu-skool breaks or UK Garage, Breakbeat
Science is betting it all on drum'n'bass.

Hasn't that already happened?
