Also check out Thievery Corp's - Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi.
I think this is their first original composition and it is simply brilliant!
Dubbed-out-trippy-rasta-jazz-beats from start to finish. It's on a more
downtempo tip than the DJ-Kicks comp. The album is timeless and I can assure
you that you'll still be listening to it in ten years time.

This is the double CD that introduced me to the world of acid-jazz.
