I didn't say I wanted those styles of music, just that if you did want them you would have great difficulty in getting hold of them.
I own a couple of classical CD's, one opera CD and as for jazz, it's inaccessable.........apparently it was invented by a rhythm and blues group falling down a flight of stairs.
And yes, I do own a copy of "smack my bitch up" and Massive Attacks "Teardrop" is a great track.
