The Pogues The Very Best of... (Warner) St. Paddy's this week and former frontman McGowan due the next--if you don't have this stuff, now's the time. 9 (RB)

Frank Morgan Reflections (OJC/Universal) A welcomed reissue of a '98 all-star outing, including Joe Henderson and Bobby Hutcherson. 8.5 (LD)

Luna Live! (Beggars Banquet/Select) Some of the best by this melodic, VU-influenced NYC pop act, with an audience. 8 (LC)

The Pixies Complete B Sides (4AD/Select) Like many of the best alternative acts, even some of the non-album tracks by this twisted collective can be called classics. 8 (LC)

Common & Macy Gray Ghetto Heaven Remix 12" (Universal/Level One) Flutes, harps, orchestra--the whole nine! With an interchangeable 4/4 beat that isn't hip-house. 7.5 (SC)

dZihan & Kamien Refreaked (Six Degrees/Outside) Decent but fairly boring mix of house, nu-jazz and downtempo from those unpronouncably named Austrians. 6.5 (CH)

Xzibit feat. Nate Dogg Been a Long Time 12" (Loud/BMG) Mr. X and crooning compadre Nate on a Battlecat smoothie. Bust till you're deceased. 7 (SC)
