    great answer!!

    seriously though, acid-jazz (the genre) did the disco
    thing (i.e., death/morph) a few years ago. i don't
    think it'll be ready for a revival for another 5 years
    or so. we're already going through the thing of how
    much 90's music (mostly pop) sucked--although many
    people are still buying/playing a lot of 90's (usually
    pre-95) electronic (and hiphop) stuff.

    it's interesting to think about how sparse albums were
    by many of the leading 90's people that we discuss on
    this list. portishead has 3, massive has 4 (of
    course, one of those is a dub/remix version), shadow
    has 3, smith & mighty have 2 (the new one's not out
    yet, is it?), roni size/reprazent have 2 (krust-1,
    suv-?, die-?, and ok, they've got a jillion singles)
    4hero 2 or 3...
