How do you know they don't understand it or on their wavelength? Perhaps it falls way short of expectation.

I think Jega has lots of talent, but he hasn't done anything in a long while that really excites me.

It doesn't do a whole hell of alot for me. I've easily bought 30 or more records this year that excite me a hell of alot more. Someone mentioned the Jega remix of Michael Fakesh, I love that. His remix for Mark Broom was pretty good also. Spectrum falls kind of flat for me. That's cool that it doesn't for you. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
