That's a very good start. What have you heard? If you heard the album on Blue Note, then these are some very good recommendations, although I hear a bit more Chicago and a little less east coast or France in their earlier releases. Since St. Germain are pretty bluesy, they are a bit hard to compare to other artists. On the one hand you have an enormous world of jazzy house not far off, but I suspect you're aware of that and into their unique style. If so, it seems like perhaps you're less interested in similar sounds than similar quality, and if that's the case there is an enormous load of amazing house to be discovered and it would be very hard to make recommendations for that broad of an area. Perhaps you are specifically interested in bluesy house? If so, that could make a really interesting thread, because there isn't an enormous load of it that I'm aware of - at least not of any notable quality. I think it's really hard to do well. If you can find the Blue Boy 12" on Guidance that preceeded 'Remember Me', with 'Need It', that's a nice comparison to the Chicago blues/house sound I hear in their earlier releases. If you're just into high quality house with a jazzy sensibility that isn't overcome with its own noodle, then this is a good place to find suggestions, but probably not the most topical place for this thread. If so, you could always check the DHP board at http://www.deephousepages.com for all the suggestions you could ever want and more. There's a disturbingly informed and active group there.
