The parallels are pretty similar here- when I first got into buying
vinyl it was around 1986/87 and there was a serious amount of classic
jazz being reissued on Blue Note and other labels- it lead me to a lot
of musical gems I would never have had the opportunity to experience
otherwise. I'm hoping that a whole load of kids about 18-20 discover 4
Jazz Funk Classics, Relics, Night+Da etc, etc and find them as exciting
and fresh as I did when they first came out.
The danger lies when the artists concerned aren't producing much new
work of worth and rely on their back cat to support them and their
reputation- this certainly happened in the Jazz field in my opinion-
hope it doesn't happen in Techno.

remember all those claims that techno is the new jazz? maybe they're
true.
maybe it's a genre full of mainly obsessive balding male record
collectors.
