I feel the same way. I was really looking forward to that record and
when I finally got a chance to listen to the CD I was very disappointed.

Subject: nuphonic
anyone heard a d a m EMAIL souljazz goldstone's 'lower east side stories' on nuphonic? the
review i read made it sound really good (natch) but i had a lissen to it
and it didn't grab me. sure i understand that its meant to be a thematic
collection of music related to the lower east side of NY in the early
'80s
- dub, house, disco, hip hop, cinematic sleaze, but to me it sounded
very much like the result of a studio producer's concept, a bit sterile
and a long way from the funk & soul & er grittiness that you'd find in
the actual music from that time. but i guess that's unavoidable, and
come to think of it, i've had the same reaction to other similar
'nostalgia' productions, i.e. sylk 130. i guess you just can't capture
the things that make music from a different place & time special &
unique. hmmm i can't remember if there was a point to this or not...

ps to all the aj househeads out there loving the inhouse comp. on
comfort, there will be a vol 2 whoopee!
