ICY COLD CUTS

02.17.07

A short mid-winter selection of cool cuts.

1.  various - Atlantiquity [Atlantic] Killer collection of classic soul, jazz & funk cuts remixed by Quantic, Nu-Mark, and King Britt, among others.

2.  Beck - Bad Cartridge (E-Pro) [Interscope] Space Invaders remix treatment of E-Pro. Trying to get caught up on my Beck classics.

3.  Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good [Universal Republic] Amazing blues-drenched single with an appearance by Ghostface and backed and the astounding Rehab; sounds like Nina Simone singing Motown.

4.  Bombs - Bombs EP #1 [Bombs] Dope underground remixes (by Fort Knox Five) of hip-hop classics from Jurassic 5, Digital Underground and Dream Warriors.

5.  Bombs - Bombs #2 [Bombs] Underground reggae/hip-hop blends from Fort Knox Five. The Specials' Mesage to You Rudi gets the thumping remix treatment; perfect for the dancefloor.

6.  Fun Boy Three - The Lunatics... [Chrysalis] From the experimental drums'n'voices first album. Moody genius with a head-nodding tribal jungle groove.
