    compilations have been out for a while and I havent got tired of 'em...
    still fresh. Compilations are cool because not everybody can afford to break
    with 10 dollars for one import 12", several a month... or week at that. Plus
    there are those who don't even buy vinyl and they deserve the music on cd
    too. However, I do get a *little* annoyed when I see something like P'taahs
    Decompressed album for which I'd bought all the 12"s from 1998-2001 and the
    only new stuff were 3 tracks. But I don't like to wait and I do like
    Ubiquity, so its really all good on that. I guess this has been the case
    with many of the nujazz compilations out of London but I wasnt up on this
    stuff untill summer of last year.

    Ok, good point especially on the cost of imports front - and I guess CD's
    spread the music to a larger audience.
    As long as there is no broken beat vol.1 style compilation. This puts the
    music into a category - which could come into fashion then everyone would
    drop it when the latest thing comes along.

    This is what happened several years ago when people started realeasing all
    these 100% Intelligent Drum'n'bass etc. Then the music got watered down.
    I've got no problem though with things like label compilations and stuff
    like Om Records's Om Lounge or Naked Music's Carte Blanche.
