Various The Montreux Collections (Pablo/Universal) An array of jazz giants including Milt Jackson making superior music in Switzerland in 1975. 10 (LD) A Tribe Called Quest The Anthology (Jive/Zomba) Only 19 songs in the Tribe anthology? Who compiled this, Warren Beatty? This should've been a double CD at least. 8 (SC) Dry and Heavy One Punch (Green Tea Records) If you're into Japanese dub, you can't go wrong with Dry and Heavy. It's exactly that, with some Japanese/Jamaican patois chanting right along. 8 (SC) Various Balkans Without Borders (Omnium) A benefit album that features music from the region in need, and not fattened Anglo-American stars. 8 (CY) Various Capitol City Cook Out (Gas Records) Ottawa's punkest of punk. 7.5 (JC) Mr Oizo Analog Worms Attack (F Comm/Fusion III) 16 tracks of "flat beat" -inspired electro shit that sound like machines farting. Good. 7 (KE) Various Everything Is Nice: The Matador Records 10th Anniversary Anthology (Matador) More an advert for current stable than historical account. Two Arsonists tracks, none from Liz Phair? 7 (CY) Various/soundtrack Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows (Unforscene) Guaranteed to be the only compilation ever to back Bryan Adams with Gob. 5 (CY) Labyrinth Timeless Crime (Metal Blade/Pick Up) Billowy shirt fantasy rock. Blech! 3 (JC) Lara Fabian "Adagio" (Epic) English-language debut. Celine, Part Deux. Oh great... 2 (CY)
