"Optical Substance - i was raised on jazz.  i grew into electronic music.  thus, i have a deep love for "jazzy downtempo."  however, i'm extremely picky when it comes to the sound - it's very easy for a producer or group to create extremely poor or extremely cheesey electronic music infused with jazz.  Kjetil Husebo has produced some of the most incredible jazz/electronic.  i've never heard much the Norwegian jazz scene, but goddamn, there must be something going on over there.  .... i have not heard anything this good since DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo released Kioku."
