Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As Radio 1's night-time guru of worldwide esoteric music, Gilles Peterson has a staggeringly broad vista of musical experience to draw on. Thankfully, Worldwide Program 2 narrows this into a focused 60-minute mix album that reflects Gilles' personal taste--slo-mo jazz, heavily blunted stoner hip-hop, classic funk--and for the most part, steers well clear of the easy-listening muzak excursions that occasionally blight his shows. In the spirit of prime-cut Mo Wax, Forss's "Soulhack' welds funk-strewn Quannum-style hip-hop rhythms to florid swathes of jazz piano. Sun Ra's "When There Is No Sun" proves a surprisingly palatable spoken-word pick from the cosmic avant-garde band leader's bulging back-catalogue. Worldwide favourites 4 Hero up the tempo with a trampolining acid bassline on "Hold It Down". And Jazzanova pay homage to classic old-skool breakbeats on "Another New Day". For Worldwide Program 2, Gilles has clearly placed his goalposts fairly close together: there's nothing here from more leftfield Worldwide favourites Manitoba or Anti-Pop Consortium, who might add further dimensions to this compilation. For Gilles' jazzhead following, however, this mix will come as manna from heaven.--Louis Pattison

Many would say this album is not up to the normal Gilles Peterson (GP) standard. When I first heard it I was not that impressed. Then one evening I went to go and dance. Coming back from that evening I put this CD on and found that this album delivered something quite different from most previous GP releases. Normally you would expect a sort of warm and smooth feel to a GP mix CD with a range and diversity that makes it a pleasure to listen to.
This CD does have some of the expected elements but, on closer inspection, it is designed to give the listner a feel of what they might hear were they in a club as well as a lounge. It has moments of slightly harder, attention arresting, music, which may slightly offend some of the usual GP CD compliation listners. These moments, however, capture the wild and free elements of dance-orientated jazz/soul/funk/bossa/hip-hop, an experience we should all open ourselves to!

this is the pinnacle of the worlwide sessions, truly a fantastic collection of songs a deffinate must have for any fans of gilles and the genre , there is only one very sad ommission on the cd version, drum magicks"easy boom" which is the best song on the vinyl edition and a guaranteed floor filler. why oh why didnt they put it on the cd ! anyway its great, buy it without a thought and download the drummagick track from a site ...legally of course!!

If you are a great fan of the legendary Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Radio Shows, this album will not disappoint, and for those who have brought his other worldwide album this has to be just as good as Worldwide Vol.1 if not better. I don't see how anyone could not like his selection of tracks on this album each one is as good as the next...and is well worth having in your CD collection!!
