Is it true that acid-jazz music is sort of fading out in the UK? It seems
like Trip Hop and Drum and Bass/Jungle are in thing now. When I was in
England last year, the acid-jazz scene was still very active, however I
got the vibe that there was a "we want something new" sentiment in the clubs.

I guess it all only applies to DJ/club music, as far as D&B and Trip-Hop
taking over acid-jazz; as far as live music is concerned there are no
live D&B/Trip-Hop acts, unless they're already well-established acts on tour.
