The 4 Hero "Reinterpretations" got somewhat panned when it came out, but there's
some absolutely top-notch material on there, especially the Photek remix (under
some other obscure alias) - it sounds like he's got Elvin Jones locked in his
sampler! Also excellent is the remix by Shawn J Period, featuring Ish aka
Butterfly from Digable Planets (R.I.P., although I hear Ishmael is coming out
with a new album!!!)

I find Carl's stuff to be the shit across the board, but that's just me. 4 My
Peepz is great. If you like house music, check out his Paperclip People
compilation "The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich".

Speaking of Recloose, his track "Landscaping" on the last Freezone compilation
is great!
