>Thank god for 10 Disc Changers!
Well: I can only put one cd at the time in my player, but I will pretend I
do have a 10 disc changer:
1 Mellow Mellow
Probably, my favorite compilation this year. Smooth, mellow seventies soul
and downtempo orchestral funk, with lots of bits sampled by Massive Attack,
Portishead and others.
2-3 1 David Mancuso presents the Loft CD1/2
Great compilation of post-disco, pre-house and whatever (among my favorite
tracks: Risco Connection's dubby reworking of Ain't No Stopping Us Now,
Patti Labelle's gospel-ish The Spirits in It, Larry Levan's remix of Man
Friday - Love Honey, Love Heartache, the sublime Mystery of Love by
Fingers, Sun Palace - Rude Movements, Karma - High Priestess
(tiki-jazz-funk?))
4 Le Chant de la Machine
Cheesy techno pop and early house. With a great remix of Just An Illusion...
5 Philadelphia Uncovered
Very very smooth late seventies / early eighties soul from Philadelphia
International.
6 Capitol Rare Vol. 1
More smooth soul and breezy jazz funk.
7-8 A Trip to Brazil Vol. 2: Bossa & Beyond, CD1/2
The best compilation of classic Brazilian music ever?
9 Grassroots: Ashley Beedle
Northern soul, Neapolitan funk, Grace Jones... pure genius.
10 Mundial Muzique
MAW, Azymuth, Da Lata and more recent Brazilian/Caribbean-influenced tunes.
