    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.
