Wow. I'm very glad that you posted again, because otherwise I may not have ever found this thread. I am completely obsessed with most music that fuses jazz with other sounds, but countless times I've asked for suggestions and gotten "Jazz fusion is great! Check out Bitches Brew, Weather Underground, and Herbie Han****!" Now Bitches Brew just honestly never "did it" for me. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely appreciate the music; I regard it as a classic, I just don't enjoy it too often. Herbie Han**** I enjoy, and Headhunters is amazing. Absolutely loved your review. I also thought I was possibly the only person in the world that considered Entroducing to be more jazzy than trip hop, as I usually hear it classified.
This is pretty much now my favorite thread on Music Banter, you're getting into the music that I ****ing love. So I am telling you you have to finish it. Sorry. I've already found some great stuff on here, I read through the entire thread and checked out Hepcat and Natty Dread so far, and intend to find Medeski, Martin & Wood next. I usually don't like ska, but wow. Hepcat got it right. I enjoyed the Natty Dread better than Bob Marley, to be honest with you. Don't hate me, I've just never been able to take large doses of reggae. Minutemen have long been a favorite of mine, and Low End Theory and to an even greater extent, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythym were the two albums that first introduced me to the hip hop I now love, and led to my discovery of Entroducing.
So pretty much, please continue this. I'll be reading. In fact, it is now the 3rd thread that I am actually following.
