The whole series

For me I either love or loathe compilations, when created with love and passion they can be windows into new musical worlds or recontextualisations of scenes or genres from a contemporary perspective, when done badly they are little more than cynical cash ins where the artists probably don’t see any of the royalties. Back in the late 90s Soul Jazz were absolutely nailing it, I think I bought on sight every compilation they released. Some of my favourites were these:
Currently Music From Memory are doing much the same and I again am buying everything they put out. These are all brilliant.
and volume 2
Of course this!
There are loads more I could mention, these two labels just stand out above the rest for me.

Indeed. Love them all.
Pound for pound MFM is up there with the very best. New Japanese pop one due out sounds great too.

I second this one, it mined a pretty untouched area at the time and was all killer, no filler.
