However by the Summer of 1988 a new sound began to infiltrate the clubs in the form of tripped-out Acid house, and suddenly down tempo dance music found it had nowhere to go. Those who didn't succumb to house music's 4/4 tyranny were left with few options - but one did spring up: Acid Jazz... Includes: unique 8-page history ofthe Acid Jazz label, scene and featured artists.

Ok, it's cheap, and gives you a bit of an introduction to acid jazz, but only about a third of the double disk good in my opinion. Good value, but if you can find a different acid jazz collection for the same price. I'd buy that first if I were you.

18 Jan 2003
Format:Audio CD
A retrospective of Acid Jazz, CD #1 is really a meditation on why musicians love & revere 1970's soul. Its worth the price of admission to hear "Sunship", described in the liner notes as influenced by Herbie Hancock. House Divas will wonder (and mourn!) when we heard it last at the Paradise Garage. God rest & bless your soul, Larry Levan! Mother Earth gives a credible nod on "Apple Green", trippy and soulful, to the Isley Brothers via AWB, Stephen Bishop, & other blue-eyed soul crooners. Yes, back when blue-eyed soul did not mean Boy Bands from the Mall of America. I've worn a groove in "Apple Green"...if grooves can be worn in digital media. CD #2 warrants being CD #2. That is to say I've listened to it several times and wished (on even more occasions) that it was part of another collection. Its o.k., but its uneven not nearly as riveting as the first CD. Buy this and groove around your apartment.
