8. Ott - Escape from tulse hell
9. The Black Seeds - Turn it around
10. Cymande - Dove

No description. Most of it is along the lines of funk-Jazz-dub-soul-electronic...you get the drift. The first half might get your feet moving a bit and the second half is a bit more relaxing. Most of it ain't all that original, but screw that. Sure is a lot of fun . (or atleast I had fun listening to some of these before)
If the tracks don't load in this order, do change accordingly.

Comp.rar
1. Set's the tone nicely.
2. This reminded me a little of Brand New Heavies and I was quite shocked that you would like something such as this. That's not a negative statement BTW
3. I found this one a little too long but the horn work made up for it somewhat.
4. A little too mellow for what I look for in Funk TBH
5. Ditto
6. Now I liked this a lot. Great old school vibe to this.
7. Mentioned these before. I NEED some of their output for sure.
8. More excellence. Great Electro Dub vibe.
9. Did'nt blow me away but pleasant enough.
10. God damn I know the rythmn. I am sure a band like Thievery Corporation have used it or have a track on one of their mixes that utilises it. Excellent track.

Over all: It started well but dipped a little with a couple of instrumentals that were'nt 'funky' enough for me but the mellow last third was win. Great stuff.
