"I've been buying from Amazon for about 5 years, and this is the first time I've been compelled to write a review - primarily to offer a counter to those who gave "Space Jazz" lukewarm reviews. I heard this playing in a local Tower Records shop. I asked what it was, bought it, and listened to it on the way home. That was months ago. It's been in heavy rotation at home, in the car, and at work ever since. Which would reflect just one man's opinion if not for the fact that everyone who hears it in my work area or in my car wants to know what it is, wants to see the cd case (digipak, actually), and wants to know where I bought it. It's jazzy, spacey, and groove-laden, and instrumental except for "found" vocals. Overall, the best sampler of a particular style of music since those produced by the late, lamented em:t label. Highly recommended for those who find this type of music enjoyable."
Not so bad really

"Granted, this is more jazz than anything else, but the occasional sample and weird synth noise adds something. Its more reminiscent of John Scofield's weird jazz than real "acid jazz". That this music is so good is more of a testament to the original players (Bird, etc.) than to the "remixers" who snipped it all together. All in all, not fabulous, but good background groove."

"Groovy beats inspire, velvet pants required!!!!!
This cd is on the Shortwave. It is a Definite, "no-miss".
Simply put, this is a standard. Play in between DJ Cam, Massive Attack and Mr Scruff. This music is for when you need to go one step beyond. The whole cd is "solid"!
I have and would buy anything that Quango releases, especially when compiled by Bruno Guez. Leave the compilations to the experts!!!! Amazons' got quite a few(quango releases, of course), too bad many are listed as unavailable!

"Electronica is reaching a strange space in marketing: "anything that doesn't fit into another genre, stick it in electronica." This should be in Jazz, not electronica or dance music. Unfortunately Jazz purists would cough this up faster than a furball with the occaisional drum machine, sporadic synthesizer and godforbid sampling. But as an electronica fan, if I wanted Jazz, I'd buy quality Jazz, not this filler. I suspect every penny was scratched together in trying to secure a license from Tosca, the one "name" on the CD. I prefer unknown artists, I love nu-jazz, jazz/electronica/fusion but this just bores me to tears. Some trip-hop elements, but nowhere near Thievery Corp for example. Although hard to find, what they may have been trying to do here is copy "Science Fiction Jazz" from Germany's Compost Label, composed by Minus 8, just excellent. But this; cool name, cool idea for an album, bad CD."
