            DJ Krush -- Shinsou -- The Message At The Depth . . . CD
            Sony (UK), 2002
    The latest salvo from Krush, and he keeps getting more and more out, but
    that's always been the best thing about his approach -- the way he can
    take abstract sounds, and snap them into a dope beat. We thought from
    the first half of this disc that he's been listening to a lot of the
    noisier new breed of underground hip hop, like the Def Jux camp, and you
    can tell by who he's selected to collaborate with this go 'round that
    he's feeling the leftfield approach: Anticon, the Opus and Anti Pop
    Consortium, but he pulls in Sly & Robbie, vocalists Angelina Esparza and
    Abijah too, for the jazzier half of the disc. Eleven tracks in all,
    including "Trihedron", "Sanity Requiem", "The Blackhole", "D'You Hear
    That", "The Lost Voices" and "What About Tomorrow".

            Nicola Conte -- Jet Sounds Revisited . . . CD
            Schema (Italy), 2002
    The genius of Nicola Conte gets the remix treatment -- in this wonderful
    new album that steps off heavily from his massive Jet Sounds set of a
    few years ago! If you know Nicola, he's the wunderkind behind the Schema
    label -- and, probably more than anyone in the world right now, one of
    the few producer/musicians who can really handle a retro-sounding
    groove. Conte's steeped in classic jazz, soundtracks, and bossa nova --
    all of which come into play in his music -- and this set has him working
    with a host of able talents who help to take his unique creative vision
    even farther than before! Titles include "Jazz Pour Dadine" remixed by
    The Dining Rooms, "Arabesque" done by Micatone, "Forma 2000" reformed by
    Les Gammas, "Dossier Omega" redone by Espen Horne, "The In Samba" done
    by Kyoto Jazz Massive, "Missione A Bombay" by Eddy & Dus, "Mambo De Los
    Dandies" by Gerardo Frisina, and "Trappola Mortale (traffic replay) done
    anew by The Freeform Arkestra.
