Don't sleep on the original "Welcome to the Party" (Har-You Percussion
Group) and "What's Your Number?" (Ian Pooley). The Jazzanova remixes are
significantly restructured but not necessarily better. "Circe" is so much
better after Jazzanova get through with it that it's not even comparable to
the original.

Their remixes. Which is not to say their originals aren't sub-par at all,
but
thy're one of the few remix teams who consistently put out remixes *that are
actually better than the original*...most expecially "Circe" and their
Incognito, 4Hero and UFO remixes.
I've been able to easily pick out the "Jazzanova sound" after hearing it.
The
bass is always warm and punchy, the Rhodes is always smooth, and most of
all,
the drums are compressed and EQ'ed well enough...pure drum joy. If they ever
came out with a drum loop CD, I'd buy 10 of em (and I'm personally against
using
drum loop CDs!). Their arrangements are beautiful too, there's a lot going
on
without sounding overproduced...Definitely THE artists to watch in the new
decade.
