    I have to concur with the new Ian Simmonds full-length. I picked it up
    while in Seattle last week...I was surprised that I have not heard about
    it.

    But it just sounds so fine in all of the right places. I have heard
    several tracks before, but wasn't sure who the artist was. Now I know.

    Indeed, it is essential listening.

    BTW...listened to the new Jazztronik and Fertile Ground albums last
    night. Jazztronik sounded a little bit like "smooth jazz" to me, but it
    still holds up fine and good. Fertile Ground was a bit of a
    surprise...sounded like 70s soul with a bit of jazz and Latin sounds
    thrown in. That one is a keeper, as well.
