 Smooth Hip Hop Spun Deep-House Style!... January 4, 2009
Nfinitely (Midwest, USA)
This is one of my all time favorite albums! All of the tracks on this mix are subliminal and provocative, very chill, yet bassy. This album has mostly a bassy, melodic, "blue-note" sound. If you are looking for an album that is unique in the aspects of mixing style, tracks, and "genre-bending", this is the one for you-VERRY GROOVY INDEED! ;>
Amazing December 18, 2008

This has truly created a new genre of music in my mind, and so far, DJ Mark Farina is my only example to offer. I've heard Volume II, as well, and it is even better--so I've made my purchase of volume III with even higher expectations.
One problem I have, though, is that in digital form, I've noticed that, despite the fact that all the tracks blend perfectly together (so they're obviously in the right order), and that they're named as listed on the CD case and Amazon track list, none of the song titles actually describe their songs. In fact, most song titles describe OTHER songs on the CD. For instance, "Gibby Music", track 5, should totally be titled track 11's title, "Music Use It". Same problem on volume II, with "Liquid [Instrumental]" (which clearly isn't entirely instrumental), and "Make Me Happy [DJ Spinna Original Mix]", which is what the girl is saying in "Liquid" the entire time (. . ."and you make me happy. . .").
I don't know. Minor. I'm just OCD. It bothers me. Otherwise, great, great compilation!!
 Great tracks November 23, 2005

Although I love the songs, I cringe at the transitioning. I expected the mixing to be more professional. Overlooking that aspect, Farina's selections are wonderful. I still love the CD enough to give it a good rating.

This CD is simply the product of all good music combined. Hip-Hop beats, Jazz, Vocals, Blues, you name it. The title "mushroom jazz" is just perfect to describe the kind of music. It's jazzy and trippy. In my opinion, people who are into hardcore rap wouldn't like it. This is not a rap album. It is the beats that sound like hip-hop but with instruments and vocals layered on top of it. If you just want to chill out or want to create a lounge atmosphere, then this is the CD to play. This album is just the beginning of the series of whole new sounds!

If you've never heard of Mark Farina, please wait no further and get this CD! Mushroom Jazz is an interesting mix of hip-hop, jazz, and funky beats. The CD is incredibly smooth and you'll find yourself tapping your foot throughout the entire album. The mixing is seemless and I like how he blends previous or future tracks into a song that is currently being played. The track might be In Hale, but it'll incorporate some beats/vocals from J-Live. Mushroom Jazz is quiet a remarkable and rare CD. I love it!
