![]() | Cinco De Mowo! by Mocean Worker
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.44 If you like this, be sure to try "Enter the Mowo," which isn't quite as accessible, but is equally great. Also, if you like MoWo's campy "tres tres chic" sound, be sure to check out Ursula 1000.

![]() | Whipped Cream & Other Delights Rewhipped by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.02 Don't let the negative reviews fool you, Anthony Marinelli has produced a wonderful remix album! It brings Herb Alpert's music to a new audience while maintaining the enjoyability of the originals. It features Thievery Corporation, the Dust Brothers, Ozomatli, and Mocean Worker, and is great if you prefer pop song structure to the "wait four measures and I'll change the loop slightly" mentality.

![]() | Re-Bop: The Savoy Remixes by Various Artists

![]() | The Complete Verve Remixed Deluxe Box by Various Artists
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $23.99 This includes the first three Verve Remixed albums and a fourth disc with alternate and extended mixes. There's good variety, although most fits into the dance genre and Volume 3 is pretty synth-heavy. I like Mr. Scruff's take on Archie Shepp on Volume Two. A fourth Verve Remixed came out in spring of 2008. There are also Verve Un-Mixed compilations corresponding to each of the four volumes.

Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.99 Great background music for parties. Mr. Scruff creates some really cool loops and twists them around for all they're worth. Also check out his albums "Keep it Real" and "Mr. Scruff."

![]() | Supermodified by Amon Tobin
Buy used from: $4.23 Amon Tobin won't appeal to everyone because of his drum and bass leanings and dark tone. If those sound good to you, be sure to also check out "Bricolage" and "Permutation."

![]() | Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project by Various Artists
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $0.86 I don't think there is a single person in the world that would like every track on this remix CD, but Bird Up stretches genre boundaries farther than most of the CDs on this list, and the tracks featuring Mocean Worker, Dan the Automator, and X-ecutioners are pretty good. There is an un-mixed collection of the Bird Up tracks also available.

![]() | Remixed & Reimagined by Nina Simone
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.45 This album just isn't very jazzy. It seems too much like Verve dug up Nina Simone's vocals and set them to mediocre pop music. Verve also released Billie Holiday Remixed & Reimagined.
|
![]() | Remixed Hits by Billie Holiday
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $1.48 I've only heard samples, but these remixes by Effcee, Julian Beeston, and James Hardway (whoever they are) sound like a probable trainwreck.

![]() | The Basement Boys Presents Mudfoot Jones by Basement Boys
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $0.52 Plenty of people complain that remixes of jazz legends don't do the original artist justice, but this album goes a step further by not doing the original fictitious artist justice! Over-synthesized, un-melodic, and repetitive!
