Above & Beyond's Tri-State is an awesome album I'm listening to a lot right now. I also have Steppenwolf floating around my head all the time as I'm working on a remix...
Hailing originally from Chicago but long associated with San Francisco's jazz-house scene, Mark Farina returns to his bread-and-butter mix series Mushroom Jazz after 2003's eclectic artist record Air Farina. Less laid-back than Thievery Corporation but not quite as deep as Om label mates like Marques Wyatt, the Mushroom records often delve into hip-hop, and Jazz 5 is no exception. But while rhymes and raps jump out alongside snappy beats to startle the listener from chill tune-induced hypnosis, large chunks of the record, especially in the last half, are completely instrumental. Some of Air Farina's electro-funk adventurousness is here as well; check out the dazed and hazy original track "Cali Spaces." Consistently clever and packed with urban energy, it's an ideal Sunday evening record for those not quite ready to let the weekend end. ?Matthew Cooke
EDIT: In fact, as a new riov.org-is-the-new-black celebration, I'll buy this for the first person to email me in response to this....I mean it.
. So much talent, and it was all thrown away...
