    I feel the same way. I was really looking forward to that record and
    when I finally got a chance to listen to the CD I was very disappointed.

    anyone heard a d a m EMAIL souljazz goldstone's 'lower east side stories' on nuphonic? the
    review i read made it sound really good (natch) but i had a lissen to it
    and it didn't grab me. sure i understand that its meant to be a thematic
    collection of music related to the lower east side of NY in the early
    '80s
    - dub, house, disco, hip hop, cinematic sleaze, but to me it sounded
    very much like the result of a studio producer's concept, a bit sterile
    and a long way from the funk & soul & er grittiness that you'd find in
    the actual music from that time. but i guess that's unavoidable, and
    come to think of it, i've had the same reaction to other similar
    'nostalgia' productions, i.e. sylk 130. i guess you just can't capture
    the things that make music from a different place & time special &
    unique. hmmm i can't remember if there was a point to this or not...

    ps to all the aj househeads out there loving the inhouse comp. on
