"Sorry Jeff, but like the man said, "it ain't trance". I feel bad for all these jazz heads who get sucked in to titles like this. Obviously they are unfamiliar with the bravado of the techno scene and it's producers. This album is really about good solid electronica of all types with a jazz influence. Quite danceable and "chillable" at the same time. A perfect album on a lazy Sunday for old techno geeks like me who are tired of the genre conformity of the "new" school clubs and undergrounds."

Excellent buffet of modern music

"It is definitely *not* trance! Why did anyone say that about this album? To Jeff: check Sasha, John Digweed, Slyder, Tilt, stuff like that, then you will have a better idea about what trance is. Anyway, moving on to *this* album, this is an excellent compilation. It can generally be classified as acid jazz or (or jazz-n-bass if you will). While it may not fall strictly in the confines of the acid jazz label, I don't think the compiler necessarily meant it to anyway. The album is comprised largely of chilled drum n bass beats layered with all sorts of delicious jazzy and "world music elements" (for lack of better descriptors). In fact, in much of the album, the world music elements play a much greater role in creating the aesthetic than the jazz elements do. Overall, the album is developed and mature, and I highly recommend it for acid jazz heads and people with "post-electronica" loungebeats tastes."

Una buena opcion para el jazz

"La verad no soy muy fanatico del jazz, me agrada, pero en sus versiones clasicas lo considero un tanto aburrido, sin embargo, este album me parece una excelente recopilacion y sobre todo, una forma mas contemporanea de asimilar la musica jazz. Este album es ideal para reuiniones en casa."
