Hi folks,

Got a new cool CD today, Vol 3 in the Rebirth of Cool series, which for me has
been one of the best compilations of groovy music. The first one opened me up
to UFO and the Japanese scene. The second one was equally rad. This third one
is also very good.

Jhelisa, Coldcut, Leena Conquest, K&D, Tricky, Freakpower, Portishead, Bomb the
Bass, MC Solaar, and the B-Boys.

Granted, from other discs or compilations, I had "Get it together," "Nouveau
Western," and "Deep Shit Pt 1 & Pt 2" but of all the other tracks I was most
impressed by Bomb the Bass' "Bug Power Dust" and least impressed by
Portishead's "Revenge of the Number."

Is it just me or is it tough to find Ninjatune on CD? I've also been looking
for James Taylor Quartet for a while now and still cant find it.

Coldcut's "Eine Kleine Hed Musick" was also a great track.

I've enjoyed it a bunch- hope you do too,
Gen
