    In the box for tonight's program: Leftfield electronica and bleepy
    beats from King Of Woolworths - an unusual choice of a pseudonym
    adopted by Manchester's Jon Brooks.....lots of synth and sample
    action here - much of it in minor keys.....spooky. There's also lots
    o' pretty-sounding stuff to balance it out: Victor Davies' debut
    album is a departure for the Jazzanova-Compost label, due to the
    predominance of acoustic guitar, gentle bossa beats and (gasp!)
    vocals....."Love's Arrival" from legendary Chicago producer Larry
    Heard is a low-key affair that's perfect for that late-night chill,
    or a romantic make-out session.....Aqua Bassino scores extra points
    for their name, but it's the lush, jazzy house that's the real
    winner....hailing from Italy, brothers Enzo & Gianni Lo Greco have
    also been creating some fine nu-jazz/bossa beats as Soulstance for
    several years and finally get a proper U.S. release with "Truth,
    Simplicity & Love," a compilation of their first two albums for the
    Irma label. There's the latest in the Hi-Fidelity Lounge series from
    the good folks at Guidance. As of this writing, I haven't listened to
    "Volume 3: Cosmopolitan Grooves" yet, but judging by the list of
    participating artists, it should prove to be another winner. Last but
    not least, is "Gigi" from Ejigayeho "Gigi" Shibabaw - a lovely
    vocalist who fronted the awesome Tabla Beat Science show here several
    weeks ago. Produced by Bill Laswell, featured musicians include Wayne
    Shorter, Karsh Kale, Herbie Hancock, Nicky Skopelitis and others.

    Albums I'm still loving a lot: Herbie Hancock's "Future 2 Future,"
    "Melody A.M" from Norway's Royksopp and Omni Trio's "Even Angels Cast
    Shadows."

    That's it for this week - ciao for now!
