Gilles still holdin' it down -
Radio 1 DJ and esteemed music selector Gilles Peterson weighs in with his third "Worldwide" volume for Mercury/Universal Records. Reflecting the eclectic array of records that he usually spins on the "Worldwide" radio show, Peterson's choices are again flawless. Older tracks from the likes of Henry Mancini & His Concert Orchestra ("Butterfly") sit comfortably next to current contenders such as Roy Hargrove's RH Factor ("Poetry"), all injected with that breezy, sometimes jazz-inflected groove that Peterson obviously cherishes. Highlights include the tension-heavy "One Day" by 2 Banks of 4 and Kelis's melody-rich "Little Suzie" (likely the Neptunes' most pop-oriented production to date and possibly a nod towards Questlove [of the Roots], who played it on air while filling in for Peterson back in February of 2003). Other songs that strongly round out this compilation are the Latin jazz dance-dominated revision of James Brown's "Give It Up or Turnit Loose" and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra's quality "La Banda".

Although geared towards a more commercial sound than his "Trust The DJ" titles, Peterson remains a vaunted resource of indisputable great material as evinced on "Worldwide 3". A leading favourite for best compilation of the year.

another scorcher from the king of the airwaves
well it looks like we can give up on any more double discs in this series... but it's still a fantastic mix... if you're interested in the kind of music that gilles spins.. kicking off with the detroit experiment and then into ski oakenfulls latest project "2 banks of 4" i love this track.. q-tip & co give us poetry..which is the kind of sweet mellow jazzy hip-hop that enriches the soul..later on is the monumental Skyy: can you feel me.. shivers up the spine & fall in love with rosie kay.. my favourite track is wesley music..epic with one of those semi-gospel type vocals..last track seems to be about Gilles himself (Terri Walker & Mos Def) which surely amounts to vanity by including it..but its a great track too...

The best Worldwide CD yet
Gilles Peterson's latest Worldwide CD is even better than volume 2. From the latin genius of the fantasista re-formation of James Brown's 'Give it up or turn it loose' to DJ Gregory's Elle this is great taste of Peterson's eclecticism and taste for a groove.
