The 1001 Albums Challenge # 140: Red Snapper – “Our Aim Is To Satisfy”

I really don’t think I knew anything about this – not only this album but even the band Red Snapper. Now this is weird to me for one reason: Anything even vaguely Acid-Jazz related in and around the years 1997-2003 was entirely my bag. My bag clearly wasn’t big enough to keep this in it… 
 
So it’s time and place stuff and I probably missed the window. But there’s enough in this to let me know this was a good band. And they reformed in the late 2000s for another run until just recently. So there’s more there for me to explore. 
 
But chances are I won’t bother. I should. They’re good. But fuck there’s a lot of music in this world, huh!

I’m going through the book, 1000 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and playing all of the albums I haven’t (previously) heard. It’s a pointless goal, but it’s my goal…
