> I don't have these records in front of me, so please
> excuse minor spelling/wording mistakes. these are
> some recent favorites:
>
> Om Lounge 1 & 2
> ----------------
> Yum! All styles represented. a smooth collection that
> ranges from funky and housy to kinda weird. my
> impression is that 2 is a little more abstract than 1.
>
> Frederick Galliano-Espaces Baroques (sp?)
> -----------------------------------------
> very nice classicish jazz...maybe somewhere between
> eric dolphy and herbie mann? that might be a clumsy
> comparison, but it's somber jazz with gauzey drum loop
> washes over top. sounds like a lot of variations on a
> theme upon 2nd and 3rd listen. lots of different
> tempos make this very musical pick compatible with a
> range of dance genres. kind of like cinematic
> orchestra but 3 feet closer to earth.
>
> Oh yeah, cinematic orchestra-ode to the deep sea!
> -------------------------------------------------
> I didn't buy the full length but this single is very
> satisfying! lush lush lush moody jazz orchestrations
>
> sounds of the city - London (gilles peterson)
> --------------------------------------------------
> Right. Like I need to say more. Pfft. purchase on
> sight.
>
> Nitin sawhney- beyond skin
> ---------------------------
> whoah. had to take a step back to take this one in.
> the liner notes nearly broke me in half, talking about
> mixed up cultural identities and nuclear testing. the
> album is just as touching: deeply sensitive and sweet
> indian influenced stuff. spans a bunch of styles (incl
> hip hop and r&b, and traditional indian styles) in a
> fresh way that some people could find annoying but it
> works for me. after half a listen, favorite tracks are
> "Nadia" a breathtaking d&b vocal flight which could
> save your life if you've just had a bad pill or gotten
> dumped or something. the track before whose name I
> can't remember is also jungle-compliant, more of that
> orchestrated jazz stuff.
> Buy on sight. Even you, elson.
>
> J Majik - slow motion
> ---------------------
> I'm stuck in a time warp lately, can't seem to stop
> buying records made in 1997. this is another. don't
> pass it up just because J looks like a memeber of A-Ha
> on the cover. typical(ly lovely) sparse, technical,
> sinister d&b with break beats, not rock beats. His
> stuff is in the same family as photek. also at least
> one downtempo track. actually i think there are a few.
>
>
> ok, now some floor fillers
>
> mc gq - emcee 001
> -----------------
> um, duh, I don't know the title of this, but it's the
> first release from MC GQ's new emcee label. one side
> is dull, i forget why, I think it's jsut average
> jungle darkness, but the other side is like musical s
> and m. ((*#&(&$@, oh my, dark dark dark, this shit
> will tear your head off with tornado beats, a big
> distorted synth line that sounds like it's coming to
> eat you, and a breakdown that will make your knees
> buckle.
>
> global thang 3, 4, and 5
> ------------------------
> no titles on these. I skipped 1 & 2, but all of these
> are solid picks, marked by snappy, busy beats and
> infectious basslines.
>
> i guess that's it for now.
