Amazon.co.uk Review
There are very few dance acts who could fill two CDs and five slabs of vinyl with quality remixes of other people's work. Deep breakbeat specialists Jazzanova are one such act. Since their formation in 1996, the Berlin-based six-piece have been behind some of leftfield dance music's most mesmerising mixes. While their own work has been sporadic to say the least (they've released just two EPs in four years), Jazzanova have always found time to re-interpret other people's work. Jazzanova Remixes 1997-2000 is an almost faultless account of their remix career so far. It features 20 near-perfect nu-jazz and deep breakbeat reinterpretations of tracks by artists as diverse as MJ Cole, Ian Pooley and the Soul Bossa Trio. The quality of Jazzanova Remixes is such that it's difficult to pick out one or two outstanding tracks, though the Incognito and Ursula Rucker remixes particularly impress. --Matt Anniss

Customer Reviews

trully jazzy...!!
Jazzanova seems to be the "standard" of the music fans of 2040...!!!
breakbeats, melodies, astonishing percusions and many more complete the image..!
nu jazz at its best..

takes the art of the remix to new levels.Essential
After purchasing this CD I noticed that so many of the cuts were already on my favorites list. From complex and propolsive remixes of 4Hero, to percussively melodic and narratively dramatic reorchestrations for Truby Trio. Basically, remixes are a misnomer for what this band of merry jazzsters do - reimaging...re-orchestration...rejazzed. Pure great stuff. Oh, and the MJ Cole remix makes almost everything on the original seem one dimensional. Can you tell I dig It. DJGNOSIS

No contest...
Jazzanova are absolutely superb... my favourite band of the moment. Immensely tight sounding, everything / all instrumentation and elements have been perfectly and precisely spliced and crafted to create a seriously tuff funky, at times tribal / nu-jazz / afro-funk sound. Hard to describe, takes a few listens, but this album will stand the TEST OF TIME... SERIOU MUSIC FOR SERIOUS HEADS. Check it! Big up all Jazzanova crew. PS: Great for chilling or for dancing: music for all moods.
