How do you know they don't understand it or on their wavelength? 
 
Perhaps it falls way short of expectation.

I think Jega has lots of talent, but he hasn't done anything in a long
while that really excites me.

It doesn't do a whole hell of alot for me. I've easily bought 30 or
more records this year that excite me a hell of alot more. 

Someone mentioned the Jega remix of Michael Fakesh, I love that. His
remix for Mark Broom was pretty good also. Spectrum falls kind of flat
for me. That's cool that it doesn't for you.
