On Jahsonic.com
If reading about Mutant Disco leaves you all dressed up with nowhere to boogie, go straight to Metasoul (www.jahsonic.com). A huge site dedicated to genres of 'black music' (soul, disco, House, reggae, funk, HipHop, Garage, electro, Rare Groove, Acid Jazz and Afrobeat, Metasoul contains descriptions and histories of each genre, complete with choice CDs, links, timelines, pictures and features. Lovingly created by Jan Geerinck - who describes himself as "a Belgian native interested in information gathering" - but also posts a daily Weblog recommending not only CDs but books and films too. --Anne Hilde Neset [Feb 2003]
