Bless my wife, who thinks all electronic music sounds like there's something wrong with the stereo. She got me both volumes of Heads2. Since Headz2 comprises something like 5 hours of music I may not ever get around to a full review, and it would likely be not very timely. But would others of you who have it perhaps share some impressions? My capsule review: my problem with acid jazz and trip hop in general is that it can tend to sound like pale imitations of early 70's easy listening jazz. Since I lived through that period I don't need to hear it again. Many but not all of the tracks here seem to transcend that trap, and some are quite good. The occasional junglish tracks are my favorites. I tend to put a disk on as I do other things rather than listen intently with the cover in hand, so it's hard to cite particular artists. But I'm glad I have it... --------------------------------------------------------------------- "i love the smell of new carpet. it makes me dizzy. just like when you fall in love." -- Mike Dvorkin Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
