| | Rewind! Vol. 3 CD
The idea behind the Rewind series is a simple one: take artists, producers, and bands working within the general category of electronic dance music and set them loose on songs that inspired them as they were coming up. The resulting juxtapositions are sometimes jarring but almost always lots of fun. Witness, for example, This Kid Named Miles' electro-ska arrangement of the Johnny Cash staple "Ring of Fire" or Swag's punchy rendition of the obscure Riuchi Sakamoto composition "Riot in Lagos" or Jeremy Ellis' respectful adaptation of Herbie Hancock's funky "Chameleon." There are other charmingly unlikely pairings, like Damon Aaron taking on Gil Scott-Heron and Nobody covering the Monkees. But the compilers saved the best for the last track, on which the up-and-coming electronica artist Bing Ji Ling takes AC/DC's "All Night Long" and gives it the Casiotone-and-clavinet treatment, complete with multi-tracked, soul-man falsetto. Yeah, baby. It's worth pointing out that none of these tracks are remixes or edits of the originals, and more than half are exclusives or previously unreleased. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson

REWIND! includes cover versions, remixes, and re-edits of original old school classics, rare groove gems and other famous songs.
As you might expect, this collection of "new cover versions, remixes, and re-edits of original old-school classics, famous songs, and underground rare groove gems" is something of a mixed bag. The grooves are mostly jazzy and relaxed, as is Ubiquity's wont, but there are exceptions: Jack Costanzo's refreshingly frenetic Latin jazz take on "Quimbara" is one example, and Costanzo's house mix of "Calypso Blues" is another. There's also a very interesting interpretation of "Sunshine of Your Love," though don't be fooled -- Rockers Hi Fi met someone ...

$15.05 
In Little Brother's music, the North Carolina group makes a specific point to highlight the more refined aspects of mid-'90s hip-hop. Basing its 2002 sound upon the foundation previously established by the likes of Pete Rock, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay Dee, and Black Star, Little Brother makes somewhat of a political statement by applying such standards to this modern age. The Listening does an exceptional job of proving that soulful meditations have indeed retained their traditional relevancy within the contemporary realms of rap. 9th Wonder's production leads the charge with distinct drum kicks pacing ...
