While we're talking about cool jazzy/downtempo stuff, I'd like to recommend
"Messages from the Hub" from Jimpster. I picked this up on a one-off reading of a
stray mention from Mixmaster Morris and I think I'm in love with it...great jazzy
vibes with an electronic edge...highly recommended. One of the year's best,
definitely.
Oh, and MUCHO thanks to Morris for this...he doesn't even know the influence he
has...
