4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but fans can be disappointed., October 27, 2008

Yes indeed, it is a very good downtempo hiphop/acid jazz mix, really better than most of chill-out compilations on the market.

Unfortunately, I think fans won't find the magic of last Mushroom Jazz, especially the 2 and the 4.

Like in MJ 5, the trackselection is good but goes in a less coherent way compared to the other MJ. You won't find the strangeness and deepness of the 2, or the betwitching storytelling sound of the 4.

About the trackselection itself, you'll find here very good jazzy hiphop tracks, perhaps a bit more jazzy than the 5 The first 3 tracks are very good, Mark Farina'one "Life" is sweet too, and that's just examples.

But, Mark, where are the spoken vocals your placed through your Mushroom Jazz? Those spoken words which made your mixes like nothing else!

What a pity!

Perhaps that old fans will be disappointed, but for those who don't know Mushroom Jazz, it's still a strong release. There is no bad MJ!
Nevertheless, if you want the real cream of Mushroom Jazz, buy the two or the four with this one!

So I'm a usual suspect to stalk the Five Dollar Fridays for music I could possibly be interested in..and not feel so bad after buying it if it's bad, and know I got a steal if it's great. This certain mix falls into the latter category. This CD is a great mix of sort of an ethereal dance and jazz music style. I'm not even familiar with Mushroom Jazz, but this is good stuff...and well worth the five dollars. If you're looking for some laid back music that you can just sit back and chill to, this it...go spend the five bucks.

I consider myself somewhat of a collector of this genre of music.I have all of these compilations , and I think that this is the best one so far. Perhaps some could make the claim that I should make allowances for a recency effect , but the fact of the matter is that IMO the tracks from 3-18 are ALL SOLID and of course Farina is going to put it together seamlessly. My criticism of MJ 3 , 4 ,and 5 are that they have tracks that I thought were weak mixed in with really good ones. From 'Baaaby' all the way to 'Transit' this CD is one trippy vibe that will expose anyone unfamiliar with this genre to the best of what is currently out there. My favorite tracks are Baaaby , Calm Down(which I wish he would've let run longer) , Alive , the What? , and Way back when. Excellent job++++++++++
