    Also check out Thievery Corp's - Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi.
    I think this is their first original composition and it is simply brilliant!
    Dubbed-out-trippy-rasta-jazz-beats from start to finish. It's on a more
    downtempo tip than the DJ-Kicks comp. The album is timeless and I can assure
    you that you'll still be listening to it in ten years time.

    All very good suggestions. My addition... Gilles Peterson INCredible. This

    is an ecclectic collective of must haves in a variety of different genres.
    This is the double CD that introduced me to the world of acid-jazz.
