Astralwerk's next disc
Looks like the next release from the new label that brought us the Amorphous Androgynous CD will be "V/A: House of Acid Jazz". says the postcard in my mailbox: "_House_Of_Acid_Jazz_ is a collaboration of musicians from Italy, the UK, and the US who are interested in developing a styke of future jazz with a true 90's spirit. Jazz, but not jazz; House, but not house, music nourished by the spirit of the bass and drums, crystal clear pianos, warm Hammond organs and cool saxophones. "Ring Ring" by The Funky Fellos and "Jazzy Guitar" [sequel to funky guitar?] by Jacomo Brothers (which are on the four track House of Acid Jazz EP) owe more to hard beat tempos, Herbie Hancock's electronic period, and the sweat of true House music than the cool 60's/70's jazz leanings of other acid-house groups like the James Taylor Quarter and The Night Trains [the *who*?] Take a step into the future... House of Acid Jazz is pure spice. Hitting the streets on Sept. 17th, 1993." ??? I'm gonna try to work that quote about the James Taylor Quarter being referred to as an "acid-house" group :) Brian

when i read that, it sounds like they are saying it is going to be more dance oriented than jazzy. it will sound more like herbie hancock's electronic stuff and not like the james taylor *quartet* or night trains, who are mostly acoustic bands on the acid jazz label. mike

I got an advance and it is _very_ _very_ _very_ cool. See next review within a few days.

well, i've heard it and i'm sorry to inform you that you're wrong. it sounds nothing like herbie hancock's laswell-influenced period. it sounds like typical acid jazz/house that you can hear any sunday morning in san francisco.... :) pretty good, for what it is, but it ain't gonna make you sit up and go "wow that's new."
