Sorry for an off-topic message, but could you please reUp Sandals - Rite to Silence? And maybe you've got also some other stuff by this band to upload? I've found that's not easy to find their output for download... And also the problem is that I couldn't use e-bay our other form of on-line shopping for buying the actual records because it's almost impossible for the citizens of my naitive country - Republic of Belarus... So if you could help i'll really areciate this.

What is Acid Jazz?

Acid jazz (also known as club jazz) is a musical genre that combines elements of soul music, funk, disco, particularly looping beats and modal harmony. It developed over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as tacking the sound of jazz-funk onto electronic dance/pop music.

The compositions of groups such as The Brand New Heavies and Incognito often feature chord structures usually associated with Jazz music. The Heavies in particular were known in their early years for beginning their songs as catchy pop and rapidly steering them into jazz territory before "resolving" the composition and thus not losing any pop listeners but successfully "exposing" them to jazz elements in "baby steps".

The acid jazz "movement" is also seen as a "revival" of jazz-funk or jazz fusion or soul jazz by leading DJs such as Norman Jay or Gilles Peterson or Patrick Forge, also known as "rare groove crate diggers".
