Good acid jazz comps (non US) are: Totally Wired 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9. They're
basically good all of them (1-10), but those are probably my all time
favourites. And then there's the Best of Acid Jazz comps 1 & 2 (also from the
label Acid Jazz), which stand out. Talkin' Loud has put out three compilations
called "The Rebirth of Cool", which have a more hip hop type of feel to them
(there's also jazz funk, street soul, etc. on them). But the one to look out
for now is the Mo' Wax compilation (the name of which escapes me now). It's
more jazz than acid, but boy, is it a good one. And I would be a fool not
to mention the new album by UFO that came out about three weeks ago on
Talking Loud. An excellent mix of acid jazz, latin influnces and hip hop
rhythms.
