There are Tejada tracks that are indelibly awesome and classic. Then there's the rest of his work, which is almost that good. I don't think he's released anything that's actually bad. Some are less memorable, less arrestingly original, but you could play a whole set of his B- and C-list stuff and it would work.
But then that's the great thing about there being a bazillion new tracks being released every year. If you just skim the top 0.05% thats still hundreds of new tracks to choose from. And I'm resigned to be in the 99%. I'll get there some day.
