    Greetings, here are some things that are in rotation for me at the moment...

    Kyoto Jazz Massive - Silent Messenger
    Longineu Parsons - P'taah and Amalgamation of Soundz Rmxs [Ubiquity]
    Grupo Batique - Between the Lines [Far Out]
    Joe Claussell - Je Ka Jo [Ibadun]
    Atmosphere - Dancing in Outerspace [Disorient]
    Hugh Masekela - Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz
    Tony Allen - Black Voices
    Incognito - Future Rmxd
    Opaque 12" [Archive]
    I:Cube - Scuba King Britt Rmx
    Jazz Bizniz! Comp.
    Africa Funk Comp.
    Black Jazz Comp.
    Likwid Biskit - Complete Worries [People]
    Domu - Mandaloria [Archive]
    Groove Collictive - Declassified
    Mahowa Doumbia - IG Culture Rmx
    Mighty Ryders - Evil Vibrations [Alpha Omega](reissue)
    Fat Jazzy Grooves #7 [New Breed]
    Woo hoo! I don't even want to admit to anyone what i payed Bleeker Bob for
    this record but i couldn't help myself.
     
    Beats & Pieces Comp. [BBE]
    Bit of a disappointment this one. Can anyone tell me why people insist on
    re-releasing stuff from 3 years ago in order to flesh out their comps? Is
    there a lack of new material out there? How frustrating. Blacker is a great
    track, and so is the hightower set but can we move on? Subtract the old new
    yorican soul track and the one that turns into C&C music factory at the end
    and we're left with 3 tracks. The Kevin Yost is fucking sweet(almost makes
    up for it) and there are a couple other nice things on here, but this comp
    was a big letdown. (i usually love most comps on BBE BTW)

    Oh and lastly does anyone have a complete discography for a label called
    Alpha Omega. They release classic funkjazz shit, nicely pressed songs, 2 on
    each 12" and are always the joints. I know it's domestic (USA) because they
    cost $7. Nautilus, Seven minutes of Funk, The Champ, Evil Vibrations, space
    funk, Apache... Anyone have more info on this label? thanks.
