Not sure if I agree. I totally love some of the newer stuff with live instrumentation, like "I'm Doing Fine" and "Runaway" to name two, and haven't lost any faith in the trackier end via M-7 (I know it's not KDJ himself) and KDJ 30. I know what you mean about some of it being a bit self-indulgent, and totally see Matt's point about Theo Parrish going that way, but can't see a trend towards this for either of them on the whole. Look at Theo's output in the last year and it's more than half dance floor stuff (as I see it anyway). Same with Moodymann really. Granted, I still haven't heard the 2nd Rotating Assembly or the Three Chairs album but I don't see that they've turned their backs on any styles, just that they've started stretching their wings more consistently, especially in album efforts (which would be expected). I think 2003 was one of their best years (both of them). If they've slowed down on dance floor output because of the 6x and 3x packs, then I don't think that indicates a trend towards the noodle.
