Thanks for the info. Do you have a rough idea how much they go for and how
hard they are to find?

Yes, I agree, agree. I've had this one for a couple of weeks and have been
waiting to hear someone comment on it. I've listened to it several times
and, a strange thing happens each time. After the damn thing finishes, I
try to remember how it sounded and nothing sticks! It seems that, when
it's playing, I'll be doing something else and don't even hear it after a
while. It's just background. I tried it again today and made it a point to
listen to it. So what happened? I fell asleep! I wouldn't have known I was
asleep except this damn thing has a couple of spots where there are some
wierd, piercing electronic sounds that really get your attention. As a
matter of fact, my head went up so fast it banged on the wall behind my
sofa. I know I went asleep at least twice because those sudden noises woke
me up that many times. After the head-banger I stayed awake though. Now,
what does it sound like? Can't say. I think this one may be "trance"
music, or it works like hypnosis or something. Maybe it should be labeled
"hyp-hop" or "trip-nosis." Kidding, of course. Which reminds me. I've seen
a recent release (comp) called "Trypnotic" something or other. Know which
one I mean? How is it.

That also reminds me--I've been meaning to ask if anyone's heard a comp
called "Jazz Jungle" I believe on Hollywood/AJ? Is it supposed to be jazzy
drum and bass, or is it something entirely different? I'm tempted to pick
it up but afraid of getting burned.
