Talk about a Wise Investment.......2005-02-24

What's there to say about Jazzanova? The Nu-Jazz & broken beat gurus out of Germany, that feature in their own wing of Compost Records titled Jazzanova-Compost - let alone Sonar Kollektiv, and they are some of the most influential musicians in, well, the world IMO. They are well respected and feature great production and originality. The artists they've worked with through the years is stunning. Having said all of that, this is (one) of their remix albums - this one dealing specifically with some of their mixes between 1997-2000. In this one they do the remixing of many artists cuts.

It starts out with the very familiar 4Hero track "We Who Are Not as Others". It has that dropped tone and kicks up int osome beats off the get go. Marshcmellow's also have a cool track titled "Soulpower" with an adequately titled "Jazzanova Straight Dub mix". Other highlight tracks off of disc one were the remake to label mates Truby Trio, with a very interesting take on "Carajillo". UFO and Soul Bossa Trio are also given reworks worthy of a listen. Meanwhile CD2 doesn't slow down and ended up being my favorite. Ursula Rucker has the silky & seductive "Circe" given a quiet and mysterious remix - haunting because of how simple it is. Balanco's "Metti Una Sera A Cena" has a sweet bossa vibe to it - really reminds me of the early days of Schema's Break & Bossa which had... breaks and electronica mixed in, and seemed more creative altogether. Also featured was a great remix by Soul Quality Quartet's "Toda Tersafeira". The cut has a loop to it that hooks you in and admittedly I prefer this remix to the original on their debut album on Irma records titled "Dip".

If you can find this, I'd certainly recommend it. But I don't know about paying $40 for it - but then again when I got this the cd was in several stores I frequented at well below half of that price. Still, you get 20 songs total and none of them are mixed into the other (woo-hoo!). Also be sure not to confuse this with their single disc "Singles 1997-2000" collection, which is available as a very pricey Japanese import. It too is a great cd but really may be of value for collectors. If you dig this, be sure to check out "In Between" and their many other mix projects. You might also be into other Compost artists like Fauna Flash, Truby Trio, Intuit, Beanfield, Wei Chi, Minus-8 (not his last one) and the like. Or... you will probably like Thievery Corporation, Dr Bob Jones, Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge.

Dam Groovy.......2002-07-28

If you don't have this CD and your into this kind of music, you are missing out! This CD is one of my top 10 Favorites.

A Remix Album With a Twist.......2002-07-06

The overwhelming majority of remix albums consist of generic reinterpretations of familiar tunes set to lazy beats and uninspired rhythms. An exception, however, is this remix album from Jazzanova, which compiles the band's greatest work on two discs. The grooves, always rich and multilayred, offer a careful balance of jazz, Latin influences, and a touch of electro beats so as not to scare away even the most conservative jazz gurus. Among the better numbers are Incognito's "Get Into My Groove" and MJ Cole's "Sincere." Whether you want a disc to spice things up at a weekend dinner party or music to relax to on a Sunday afternoon, you'll be pleased with this excellent double-disc set.

Chill music.......2002-05-31

In one word "Smooth". Music that adds atmosphere and class to any occasion

Awesome Nu-Jazz.......2002-05-29

If you're into "chill-out" but with a strong back beet, this comp is for you. THey're influence stems from all kinds of music like jazz, funk, latin, and a smidgen of electronica. The 1st cd is a little better than the 2nd but that is solely preference, I have friends who love the 2nd cd better than the 1st. The cd it wicked chilled out, but has a pretty driving beat so that you never really get boared with it. Everytime I throw a bash and someone new always asks who is this... this is awesome ?!! Definetly buy this comp, with out a doubt the best cd compilation for [the money] I've ever spent :)
