For all the Joe Hisaishi and Ghibli fans out there, Jazzin' for Ghibli is a remix album that was released one year ago. It mostly features Hisaishi tracks (except one) with a twist of Jazz, Chillout and Hip Hop. In some tracks, you'll find it hard to recognize the original song, but they all make for great music...Tracklist:
01 Sal / ano natsu he (Spirited Away)
02 Sal feat. Agape / kun wo nosete (Laputa: Castle in the Sky)
03 DJ Davi / ashitaka to san (Princess Mononoke)
04 DJ Ryu (Jag Soul) / kaze no tani no Nausicaa ~opening (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)
05 Novo Tempo / kaze no toorimichi (My Neighbor Totoro)
06 KGO / umi no mie ru machi (Kiki's Delivery Service)
07 Sal / teru no uta (Tales from Earthsea)
08 Nack / Nausicaa Requiem (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)
09 Sal / maruko to jiina (Porco Rosso)
10 Morphil / jinsei no Merry-Go-Round (Kiki's Delivery Service)
7.5/10 Joe Hisaishi's melodies are already so brilliant, that half of the work is already done, hehe. In any case, these remixes are very good. I love the hip hop track No. 2 with rapper Agape. It sounds awesome... A lot of the other tracks sound like ambient or chillout music that could come straight out of Cafe Del Mar or Hotel Costes album! Another good point, is that most of the artists didn't just lay some beats on the already existing songs, but really became inventive! So, the result is of course quite impressive...
Here's a little sneak-peek:
