here, this WGW release features "The treasurehunter" with a killer funky vibe and nicely hidden samples from Chaka Khan's I feel for you.

12" maxis of the month
1. Glenn Underground : Operation Jaz House : Nite Life Collective
I hadn't heard any decent new deep-house this month, but then came GU! Who saved the day with the release of no less than 3 maxi singles in one week!
2. Groove Collective : We The People : GiantStep
Amusing album filled with tracks going from acid-jazz, funk, r&b, latin and lounge music.
3. dj Food : a dub plate of dj food volume 2 : Ninja Tune
Exploring the boundaries between jazz, trip-hop, dub and lounge music in four interesting tracks. 
4. Glenn Underground : Society Rules : Guidance
5. Kid Spatula : Full Sunken Breaks : Planet Mu
Yet another project from Mike Paradinas, the man who provided us with the best in playfull tunes and nostalgic ambient gems. Please just ignore the other "nothing-but-distortion-and-no-real-inspiration-required" tracks.
Abum of the month
Autechre : Amber : Warp 1994
One of their first albums, filled with more mellow electronica and less harsh beats.
Old-Skool tunes of the month
1. Marc Moulin : placebo sessions 1971-1974 : Counterpoint
(see review)
2. Tangerine Dream : Sorcerer Soundtrack : MCA 1977
For once they don't provide a soundtrack for an imaginative movie, but an existing Horror-Thriller from the 70s. Spooky atmosphere guaranteed!
3. MFSB : Love is the Message : Philadelphia International 1973
Don't ask me why, but the cheesy-funk of this band has had me hooked each and every time I found one of their albums.
