Various – Ninja Tune – Trip Hop + Jazz (1994) (CD) (FLAC + 320 kbps)
One of my favorite trip-hop compilations. I will try to rip the 2nd part in few weeks time. Enjoy!
The first volume of Trip Hop & Jazz focuses on Ninja Tune label artists, including several tracks each from Up, Bustle & Out, 9 Lazy 9 and DJ Food. It’s a good collection of earthy downtempo grooves, though for a Ninja Tune retrospective, there are several acts notably absent — like label-heads Coldcut. ~ John Bush
1 –Up, Bustle & Out – Y Ahora Tu 4:55
2 –Hedfunk – Freedom 6:30
3 –9 Lazy 9 – Swingpool 4:50
4 –DJ Food – Gold In My Pocket 3:42
5 –Up, Bustle & Out – Apple Strudel 3:35
6 –9 Lazy 9 – The Herb 5:10
7 –DJ Food – Well Swung 3:54
8 –Hedfunk – Consciousness 4:46
9 –Up, Bustle & Out – Coffee At Senor Roody’s 5:58
10 –Hedfunk – Agua 5:57
11 –DJ Food Ninja – Walk 4:28
12 –9 Lazy 9 – Spoonful Of Slow 2:46
The Label-heads aren’t “absent” as the blurb above suggests. Far from it– Hedfunk and DJ Food _are_ Coldcut, and they have 6 of the 12 tracks on this compilation! ( ◠‿◠)
