    i'm much more finicky about buying than i used to be.
    the problem is that vinyl is a lot more scarce than
    cd--so often there is time pressure...

    ok, that's one label down--how many more to go? the
    sad thing (for me) is that i used to be able to chance
    things with them (ninja). there's a sound that they
    were pushing years ago that's gone now.

    there's no jazz dance stuff that is downtempo anymore.
     all the downtempo stuff is either chill or
    experimental/noodly. if you're playing jazz-dance
    stuff now, you're either playing house, broken-beat,
    2-step, or old stuff--don't even get me started about
    jazz jungle/d&b...
