This is an old question but no one answered it publicly and I wanted to
praise this album.
I think all of the tracks on Jazzfunktical were from their earlier album
*The Breeze Was Mellow* ("Y Ahora Tu" was everywhere). As for the
Flexistentialism tracks it is a bit more complicated. "Ninja's
Principality" (appearing on vinyl) and "Revolutionary Woman of the Windmill"
(appearing on CD) both are on *One Colour* but "La Morena En El Viento
Andaluz" (appearing on both) is not. "Bicyles, Flutes and You" appears on
the *all city* 7" comp and *One Colour*. This gets even more complicated
if you discuss the U.S. Ninjacomps (which are always slightly different than
the UK) like *If you can't stand da beatz*, *earthrise 2* (the U.S. version
of *flexistentialism*).
The main point is that the CD is great, period. It has pretty solid
entertaining Ninja beats with a lot of sampled/taped Andean music and a
latin jazz feel (although not percussion heavy like Snowboy). The U.S.
version has 16 tracks. If you had bought the "Aqui No Ma" and
"Revolutionary Woman" 12's as well as bought all the NinjaTune comps you
would have still missed 10 tracks including the great "1,2,3 Alto Y Fuera"
(latin jazz groove) which for me is the highlight of the CD. I also love
"Aqui No Ma" and "3 Drunk Musicians". Bristol sound indeed.
