Review: IRMA are among the longest-running labels in the game - there was a time, in the early 90s, when this writer would buy any vinyl bearing their logo without even hearing it first - but they've excelled even their own high standards with this superb collection, which embraces a range of jazz- and funk-informed styles and is programmed to perfection. The album starts out in dancefloor-friendly jazz-funk territory, gets closer and closer to straight-up jazz and jazz-fusion in the mid-section, then ventures into slightly more experimental and/or electronic pastures as it nears its close. The quality meter's in the red throughout, making picking standouts almost redundant, but if pushed then opener 'P-Lainz' and Papik & Fly Bruna's 'Don't Ever Let It Go' are particularly deserving of your attention.
