    > nathan haines - sound travels (chilli funk); chillifunk usually releases

    > haines & phil asher. as good as programmed jazzy music can get...it really
    > cant get better than this.

    > calm ft spiritual african nova - the shadow of the earth (exceptional);
    > spiritual, afro-flavoured, lazy, slow-pacing, deep house ala ron
    > trent/jephte guillaume/joe claussell, but seen from a more 'ethnic' point
    of
    > view. jazzy & funky elements are present throughout. nice classic-guitar
    > solos featured.
    >
    > various - tribes vol 6/soul searching (infracom); this 6th member of the

    > german underground bongo group 'niagara'...
    >
    > various - synthesis/a techno-jazz synthesized journey (x:treme); this
    one's
    > from back 1998 but i got it only recently. mixed by kirk de georgio (aka
    'as
    > one'), it starts like a minimal tech-house set (moodyman, common factor,
    > waiwan), but progressivelly dives into abstract/electrojazz territories,
    > with tracks by as one himself (btw, if you can find his 'in with their
    arps
    > and moogs...' lp on clear, buy it with no second thoughts), sun ra, herbie
    > hancock, and a nice 'dewolfe' library tune called sunken ship. if you like
    > stuff by ian o'brien, classsen collective, scuba etc you'll dig this.
