    Right on. I was turned on to Atjazz recently. Dope stuff ("Touch The Sun").
    It increases my interest in this 'Brokenbeat' thing.
    Is Atjazz a he or a they? I thought Atjazz was a couple of producers.

    Is it just me or do I sense a Quincy Jones (circa late 70s-early 80s)
    influence with the brokenbeat sound? Not really with the beats, but the
    funky analog synth bass, the ethereal strings/synth pads and the Rhodes
    piano...
