"ROOTDOWN 99 is one of the premiere latin jazzy house CDs available. It contains 9 tracks from various artists, including MAW & one of the most amazing remixes from this year, Jazzanova's remix of Ian Pooley's "What's Your Number?".If, as the Planet E logo goes, you are a unique person who likes unique musique, this is a MUST HAVE in your collection.Definitely on a downtempo tip."
The sunny side of latin-inspired nu-jazz

"With such names as Jazzanova, Rainer Truby Trio, MAW, Ian Pooley and Cujo (aka Amon Tobin), this compilation could do no wrong.Tracks were selected by Rainer Truby, a well-respected Compost project, and a guy with a low profile and a great musical instinct (check out his Glucklich series). UK's Nuphonic, along with SF's Ubiquity, is TMHO the world's no 1 label in dancefloor-friendly nu-jazz; watch out for their releases, and let everybody else wait 1-2 years for the next 'ground-breaking' and 'genre-defining' compilation from Guidance."
