I didn't mean his comments specific to the record, but he ended with some general comments on his perspective as someone really versed in jazz.
Detroit Experiment I was really only feeling a couple tracks, it seemed pretty cut and dried, like stuff that has already been done better by Herbie Hancock in the 70s which is a real pinnacle of music for me. Herbie is sick! I don't mean to knock the talent of any of those musicians on the Detroit Experiment btw, it is just an opinion. A song like "Too High" though which Amp Fiddler remade, well I wasn't feeling his voice and you better be damn fresh if you are going to remake a Stevie song. I wish they would have had Stevie sing on a remake of his song, now THAT would have got me excited! /dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 6:01 PM To: David Powers Cc: 'J.

Its easy to shrug ones shoulders and say there will always be generic music within any given "genre", but to make or support a critical agrument about an album you havent heard yet is a bit presumptuous, wouldnt you say? Anyway... Is there Anyone else anxiously awaiting the new John Digweed epic trance remix of "Eye to Eye"? Talk about a superstar DJ with the ability to smash through genre borders with uncontested skill and dedication to the craft! -J
