My one complaint with this series is that it comes out in about 8 different
countries with different track listings. Seems to me that the ones released
in the States usually have the least attractive track listings.

Don't make it harder than it is.

A lot of the NinjaTune stuff has been picked up by Instinct/Shadow in the
US. Places like Best Buy and Media Play now stock 9 Lazy 9, Hedfunk, and Dj
Food. I've also seen some Ninjatune/Ntone/Instinct US releases there
(Earthrise, etc).

Acid Jazz Records (the label) was picked up by Hollywood Records in the
States. They put out (rereleased) a whole slu of releases about a month ago,
including JTQ's "Hand of the Inevitable". I've seen these releases all over
the place too.

You can always mail order. Dave at Ear-Rational (an internet mail order
shop) can get just about anything on Ninjatune and Acid Jazz.

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

Yeah, it really is. Does anyone know where (what release) this tune came
from originally?
