Check out the Courtney Pine-produced tribute to Bob Marley, "One Love." I
posted info on this about a week ago. Also, although somewhat further off
the mark perhaps, try "A Journey Into Ambient Groove--Phase 2"
(Quango/Island). This one may also qualify in the world music flavor
category, too. Complete track listing:

1. Ramuntcho Matta "Viens Dormir Avec Moi"
2. Pleasant Chemistry "Violins--Sleepy Mix"
3. Global Dance Project "Khrishnamurti Groove"
4. Edge Test "Mystery Dub"
5. Fila Brazillia "Harmonicas Are Shite"
6. Fila Brazillia "A Zed & 2 Ls"
7. TUU "All Our Ancestors"
8. Kensuke Shiina "Insomniac"
9. Heights of Abraham "EVA Instrumental"
--------

On that last track, I recall someone said the Heights of Abraham
full-lenghth wasn't all that great. I'm not sure what title this referred
to, but it was in reference to the great tracks on the "Taste of Pork"
comp--the above track is the same as one there. I keep listening to these
tracks (this one and the other on the Pork comp) and digging the sound. Is
it really true that their full-length isn't that hot?
