You should lend an ear to "Jazz com Bossa" on Instinct. You would never
guess that these are predominantly Japanese acid jazz musicians. The
record is one of the best of the spotty "This is Acid Jazz" series.
I don't know about vinyl availability, but definitely track down the real
jam gems. Good comps are the "Brasil" series on verve (especially "Bossa
Nova Brasil"), the "Best of Bossa Nova", and the "Brazil Classics" series.
This music is a natural complement to idm, along with a natural mixer to
more pop dance music (think, if you dare, of, the Goodmens' "Give it Up" or
of "20Hz" by Capricorn).
