You are correct the more recent the As One album, the more
jazz influenced it is.

The early As One recordings (Reflections, and Reflections on 
Reflections) have more of a smooth detroit electronica/idm
sound. Celestial Soul and the Shield album, start to show the 
incorporation of a jazzier sound into the As One detroit mix. 
The two most recent albums (In With their Arps, Moogs + 
Jazz Things and Planetary Folklore) wear the As One
jazz influences with prominence. But all albums are worth
having for various reasons. In my opinion the early As
One remix LP, Reflections on Reflections, is one of the
lost IDM treasures. It contains remixes from Balil, Max 404,
Carl Craig, b12, Steffan Robbers, Autocreation, Scanner,
Elegy, Russ Gabriel and Urban Tribe. Good stuff Maynard!
