Dear Kevin,
Once upon a time a long time ago you too may have just been getting
into whatever it was you got into before acid-jazz. Everybody has to start
somewhere. Up until last Christmas I was heavily into indie-rock-grunge Nirvana
type stuff. Fortunately I have grown-up and started listening to music with
more than one-dimension. No doubt many of this list's subscribers will tell a
similar story. I also listen to things which are not acid-jazz and even have
friends who haven't heard of the genre (at least until I started whittering
on about it).
If, on introduction to this holiest of grooves (acid-jazz) my
enquiries had been
rebuked as snobbishly as you put down Mr. Dundon, no doubt I would think,
"The people who listen to acid-jazz are all up their own arses"

Which in some cases may be true...#

KIERAN - try your local Virgin Megastore if all else fails.
