Album: Various Artists - Headz: A Soundtrack Of Experimental Beathead Jams (1994)
Track: Attica Blues - “Contemplating Jazz”

And now for something completely different…

Except not. Posting the U.N.K.L.E. and South albums recently has inspired me to re-visit (in some cases, for the first time) the Mo’ Wax back catalog.

I don’t feel like writing much about this one. It’s a real early compilation (I’m only giving you the first disc due to size constraints) but a definitive one in the history of trip-hop. While the genre name has sort of faded in the 21st century, the sounds present and the vibe could just as well be contemporary. Downtempo beats, jazz cool, breaks.

Tracklist:

01. Patterson - Freedom Now
02. Attica Blues - Contemplating Jazz
03. Awunsound - Symmetrical Jazz
04. Nightmares on Wax- Stars
