STRAIGHT NO
CHASER
London based , Belgrade
émigré Zeljko
Kerleta releases his most assured album yet. When he's not sorting out
those licenses for rare East European jazz compiklations (check his
Rare Gems series), Zeljko is tirelessly promoting the new sounds of
Serbia and this compilation sees tracks from the old and new side of
things reworked for the dancefloor. Kicking off with Butti 49's update
of Dusko Gojkovic's Quo Vadis Samba, the album includes alternative
takes on Janko Nilovic's Giant Locomotion from London's Block 16 and
Belgrade's 'Painkiller Septet' alongside So Hayashi's space jazz
version of Jan Wroblewski's 'Katorna' and Ex-Robot's broken jazz
reworking of Kerleta's own 'Move With Time'. File next to Compost and
watch this label grow. (Andy Thomas)

PETER ISAAC
(Jally Jazz)
Stunning collection of obscure tracks
from European artists, all remixed by contemporary producers.
Highlights include Butti 49's easy samba mix of Dusko Gojkovic's 'Quo
Vadis Samba' and Block 16's dead funky flute led remix of Janko
Nilovic's 'Giant Locomotion'. There's tons more music spread out over 2
slabs of vinyl and the vast array of sounds take in jazz, house, samba,
bossa, nu jazz beats, funk and techno. A very impressive collection,
and although many won't recognise any of the names here, this shouldn't
deter taking a closer look.

What a
fantastic album!
The first Cosmic Sounds Remix album was one of my favorite
compilations of last year and it's safe to say that Volume 2 will wind
up on the best of 2004 year-end list. As with Volume 1, artists and
producers were asked to select a track from the CS catalog and work
their magic. Butti 49, Electrosacher, So Hayashi, Block 16 and others
did just that and the result is practically the definition of "future
jazz." From slammin' samba and modern afro-beat, to slinky, spooky
grooves and plucked, Middle-eastern-flavored strings, there are a
myriad of unusual flavors that all come together brilliantly for a most
satisfying collection.
DUSTY GROOVE (http://www.dustygroove.com)
Eastern European jazz classics --
remixed! The sound here is really tremendous -- a fresh take on a sound
that's still mostly underground -- 60s and 70s recordings from former
Iron Curtain nations, most of which are groovers based around the
modal, fusion, or funky styles that were big at the time in the west!
The set brings together 9 older recordings -- previously issued on
Cosmic Sounds in the originals -- with remixers that have a strong
appreciation for the grooves, and who open the tracks up without losing
any of the charm of the original. The stunning thing is how jazzy the
whole set feels -- with most of the solos or instrumental tones still
very much in the forefront -- backed by remixing that sets the work
firmly in the mode of the best newer work on labels like Compost or
Schema.

The remixes are intellectually arranged,
absolutely superb!!!
Another fine compilation!!!!!
STORE RECORDS (https://www.storerecords.net)
Zeljko Kerleta's Cosmic Sounds imprint
has always strived to find that perfect balance between jazz of the
traditional variety and nu-er electronically minded material. This
compilation reflects that mindset perfectly, offering forward-thinking
reinterpretations of a variety gems from the imprint's back catalogue.
The Eastern European connection is evident, and with the beat
technicians on show here hailing from all corners of the continent, the
record has a distinctly all-encompassing feel. Zeljko Kerleta's own
"Move With Time" is revisited by Robot, better known as Belgrade
resident and guitarist Vlaca. He provides an avant garde re-rub that
moves against the clock, with ugly bass stabs, queasy stumbling keys
and theatrical guitar stretches. Sinbad, a London based Polish
keyboardist, provides the final overhaul of Janko Nilovic's "Giant
Locomotion". Sinbad gives the track a beautifully deep
reinterpretation, as haunting strings, almost Detroit sounding cosmic
keys and a hulking separated bass meet. Butti 49's revision of Dusko
Gojkovic's "Quo Vadis Samba" sees those much in demand Norweigan's
remould the cut into a live-bass stormer. A mournful brass band
sounding melody is countered by defiant parps, as broken step slapped
percussion joins effortlessly cool keys for a fun knees-up. As well as
unearthing forgotten classics and overlooked musical masterpieces, this
selection proves that the label also has an eye on the movers and
shakers who are willing to push boundaries and form new musical
concepts.
RUI TORRINHA @
groovment, Portugal
Zeljko's label is one of those essential
imprints if one wants acquire the multiple jazz forms in a
world wide extension. Second volume of the urban jazz saga 'Cosmic
sounds Remixed' brings together an interesting international team of
electronic nu-jazzers who have undertaken the mission to further
consequences than just adding beats and quirky sounds to the original
pieces. Recommended for like minded crowds. Been playing it regularly
on my 'Cooltronica' daily radio show and some freestyle dancefloors
around. (7/10)
Favourite
tracks: MFP Collective's 'Katorna' and Sinbad's 'Giant
Locomotion'

STEWART @ urban

It's
a terrific merging of classic jazz and modern sounds. The remixes, on
the whole, are very respectful in keeping jazz at the forefront. Well
done!
