Please tell me there's no Aughties acid jazz...please...
The thing in a nutshell:
This genre basically got half of its credibility from its (wrong) use of the word "acid", and the other half of its credibility from its (wrong) use of the word "jazz".

This seems too polite and inoffensive to inspire any heated feelings at all, really.

Given the rigid border patrolling in dance music and the institutionalization of jazz as America's classical music, it's very easy to see why this genre inspires heated feelings.
Plus, "polite" and "inoffensive" have been the bane of rock-n-roll since Chuck Berry (at least). Come think of it, dance music and jazz don't have all that much use for them either.

THIS GENTILITY HAS NO PLACE HERE

There's nothing I'd rather hear less than Us3, which epitomizes the genre to me. I was into the Jazzmatazz albums and Brand New Heavies, and uh... some Ubiquity and Acid Jazz comps. The break beats aren't so progressive, and the Jazz aspect doesn't sound as nice as the original songs sampled.

Good albums under his own name and as Juryman. His Burgenland Dubs was recorded in relative isolation.
There's a interview here - http://www.freude-am-tanzen.com/podcasts/fatpod03/
