I like On The One as well, it's a great magazine. Make it monthly.
Now, about the list. The list is what we make it. I've been on it for a
couple of years now and it's still my favorite list. But it goes by phases.
This summer has been pretty terrible I admit in the domain of
quality/quantity ratio, but this WILL change. There are enough people with
great expertise on here that a post from one of them each week makes it
worth it to be subscribed. For me, this list is not really about getting as
much info about new releases as I can, this I can do by myself, I check out
hundreds of tracks every week. It's more about talking with people about
things of common interest. And about giving info to people who might not be
as fortunate as I am. It seems to me that people must be shy or something,
hell DON'T BE! you have something you like, SAY IT, we might like it too.
even if it's older, too mainstream, blah blah everything is discussed here,
from Roy Ayers to Stevie Wonder to Krush to Majorite Silencieuse to Hunch to
Depth Charge to Santana to archaic brazilian tunes to innovative japanese
sounds. I've never seen somebody being flamed because a smart-ass decided
his/her music was not "acid-jazz".
SO PLEASE, go ahead everybody, post about your pick of the week in the
acidjazz/dub/hip-hop/brazilian/ambient/funk/... as long as you are not
posting about heavy metal, "alternative" rock... and then again, who am I to
judge?, post about it if it has nice horns, phat beats or such. Only in the
acid-jazz world will you find people like Krush scratching over a U2 beat.
Our strength comes from our open minds. I'm sound silly now I'll stop :)
Just found that old "Le Mystere - Opus 303" track from 1990 and it's so
fucking beautiful. If you are into 303's and mid-tempo (90s bpm) acid sounds
check your local used record shops for this one. Very melodic.
Also did anyone hear the mixes of Slowly on the Chill-Out label? I have the
LP from last year (Slowly-Ming) and have heard the newer house mixes, which
are pretty good. But the other day local dj G-most was spinning some
down-tempo mixes of the same thing and it sounded really good!

Hi there,
Did you ever hear one of those songs or an album and like it so much
that you just had to have it? Only then to find it out of print and so
elusive that it seems as though its being hidden from you on purpose!
Does anyone out there have a spare Vinyl copy of this or know where I
could get one. Full title is Fromage 333 - Twelve Tasty Tunes - on Big
Cheese Records, released in '93 I think. Anyway its out of print. I
contacted Big Cheese in France and their distributor in England but
neither have any copies left.
This is a truly excellant Rare Groove compilation, some of you must
have it or have heard it. I borrowed it on CD off a mate and it blew me
away, track after track of seriously good Funk. I don't have the CD
here so no track listing for you.
Sorry to waste your'e time if you dont know or don't care what I'm on
about but I've got to find it.
Gerry @ Dublin.
