Christ almighty, like five digests in two days? Whafuck...

Anyway, I'll add to the confusion with a query for those of you in the
know. Jazzanova? What's worth picking up? I've only recently been turned
on to these guys/this label thru the Compost connection. But I'm liking it
very much. Just wondered what the must-haves were, opinions greatly
appreciated.

Also scored a vinyl copy of Herbert's "Around the House" LP today
(finally, damn near impossible to get) - Satellite Records in NYC had
copies. And I'm only halfway through it, but for all of you who thumb your
noses at house you should really think again. This one's excellent,
imagine 4/4 with intelligent electronics on top, headphone house for sure.
Anything else out there that sounds like this?

And while we're on the subject of house - Terry Lee Brown's "Brother For
Real" LP has been re-released on Plastic City, limited edition and worth
it.  A few people were talking about "Chocolate Chords" on the list a few
months ago; if you dug that album "Brother For Real" is just as good.
Dancefloor oriented but with a techy-electro edge that cuts.
