"endemic distortion" did a great job listing lots of what would come to my mind too - a good recent comp to check out is The Eclectic Sound of Vienna. I've got Vol 2 of - I think - a 3-vol. series on SPRAY. The Studio !K7 range of compilations is very extensive - try the Freestyle Files (loads to choose from) and also "Offering" and "Offering 2". Still with the compilations, there is the well known Dope on Plastic range (gosh, about 6 of them out by now?) equally Give 'em Enough Dope (the series) covers this genre as does the Future Sound of Jazz. The Waldeck album mentioned in another post is not to my personal liking, but you might get some joy from Sofa Surfers' "Transit" (97 on Klein records, Vienna). Michael Wells' Signs of Chaos "Departure" has an excellent loungy feel, without being too cheezy. Also the Serenity Dub and Submerged series on Incoming! are worth looking out for. And I can't say the name Ian O'Brien often enough :-) Have fun! I *
