| | Fatboy Slim Essential Selection Vol. 1 CD Fatboy Slim Discography of CDs
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold.
Pete Tong has an undisputed talent for keeping his finger on the dance music pulse, and he puts that to good effect on this, the first ESSENTIAL SELECTION of the new millennium. The winning formula remains--plenty of variety, records of huge hit potential and grooves to keep you dancing all the way through. Choice cuts abound, but several must be mentioned. The dirty beats of Armand Van Helden's "Koochy," for one, or, on a more techno vibe, Laurent Garnier's magnificent saxophone creation "The Man With The Red Face." On a two step note, the Artful Dodger excels with "Woman Trouble." But hang on, that's only the first disc! The second veers into deeper house and trance territory, and sees Tong letting rip with some more underground numbers. Of course the more popular trance of Chicane and System F hits the spot, but the inclusion of cracking tracks from James Holden, Breeder and Dea-Li is a bonus. A little something for the weekend, perhaps?!
Includes liner notes by Calvin Bush.Rolling Stone (7/20/00, pp.139-40) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An essential definition of 2 classic turntable styles: Slim's juiced-up big beat and Oakenfold's starry-eyed emo-techno..."
CMJ (5/22/00, p.30) - "...Mr.Cook [begins] with a hard-hitting, body-moving mix of obscure gems and old standbys that run the gamut from hard house to anthemic techno....Oakie smoothes out the mood...with a mix that favors dark progressive house and blissful beats.

Essential Selection Vol. 1
$6.55 
While only serious film buffs are likely to recall Hugh Hudson's role as the director of the Oscar-winning CHARIOTS OF FIRE, the Greek composer Vangelis became, and remained, a household name with his soundtrack for the 1981 film. At the time, the theme song was parodied as being excessively saccharin.
Indeed, with titles such as "Five Rings" and "100 Metres," the album wears its Olympian heart on its sleeve. Nonetheless, CHARIOTS OF FIRE is often a brooding work, and if the prevailing ...

| | Trio Da Paz Somewhere CD (2005)
Essential Selection Vol. 1
$14.39
The well-traveled musicians who make up Trio da Paz (guitarist Romero Lubambo, bassist Nilson Matta, and drummer Duduka Da Fonseca) have eclectic tastes that range well beyond their native Brazil -- and they choose to exercise them without restraint on this album. Starting out with Miles Davis' "Seven Step to Heaven," the trio swings back and forth between Brazil and the U.S. without a care, filtering almost everything through the bossa nova and samba idioms. The Grover Washington, Jr. hit "Winelight" takes very well to a medium-tempo bossa nova treatment. Even, so help us, "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" is within their range, transformed into a swift samba. However Trio da Paz give Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere" a straightforward, American pop standard rhythm, perhaps because they couldn't figure out how to Brazilian-ize it, and the off-kilter three-quarter meter take on the five-four meter "Take Five" nearly stumbles on itself. Among the Brazilian-made tunes, there is some exquisite out-of-the-way Antonio Carlos Jobim ("Look to the Sky") as well as standard-issue Jobim ("Corcovado"), rapid-fire Baden Powell in "Babel (Samba Novo)" and "O Astronauta," and a marvelous treatment of Durval Ferreira's "Batida Diferente." Whatever the sources of the material, this trio generates combustible fission that many of today's post-bossa nova recordings don't have. ~ Richard S. Ginell
Trio Da Paz with their harmonically adventurous interaction daring improvisations and dazzling rhythms redefine American and Brazilian jazz.Together for over 15 years, the list of legendary musicians they have performed and recorded with is extensive. A sampling would include guitarist Romero Lubambo's work with Diane Reeves, Michael Brecker and Grover Washington Jr. Bassist, Nilson Matta's work with Joe Henderson, Yo-Yo Ma and Paul Winter and Grammy nominee drummer, Duduka Da Fonseca's work with Astrud Gilberto, John Scofield and Antonio Carlos Jobim.Trio Da Paz has per formed and recorded with Charlie Byrd, Herbie Mann, Lee Konitz and Kenny Barren, to name a few. They continue to be one of the most acclaimed jazz groups in the world.Speaking of Romero ...
