are any Modzitzer cd's that are more "plain" as it where?

I second that! Years ago,there were so many great nigunim. It's a shame that
what is now considered "chassidic" music is nothing more that some of the
worst"disco-rock" synthesised music ever created. A disco-rock song with
"...Moshiach" or "...Yerusholayim" in the lyric does NOT a chassidic song
make!!!! Unfortunately, most of the 'old" chassidic' music is gone, I have a
few on vinyl, but they're not even playable any more.
