Brazilification

In the old days, protagonist would pop disc two of Fila Brazilia's two CD compilation into his sound system whenever a group of people at his place started to resemble a party. It has the remarkable effect of causing new listeners to exclaim, "Holy Goddamn, this is fucking awesome! What is it?" at least once per track. Brazilification fulfills down-tempo loungey needs that people without friends like protagonist often don't even know they have. This might not be for everyone; the set begins with Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) really eerily crooning a remix of Climbing Up the Walls, and disc one has its occasional excessively slow moments. But after a few listens or less, these tend to provide a nice contrast to the catchy walking bass lines and a general throbbing of the overall set that is best suited for driving between a comfortable 45 to 60 miles per hour.

Notable tracks include remixes of the Orb's Toxygene, UNKLE's Berry Meditation, Freakpower's New Directions, Irresistable Force's Nepalese Fish Dances, and Lamb's Cottonwool. Yes, I know that's a bunch to choose from, but I had trouble narrowing it down to even five. This set is a must have for anyone who often finds himself sitting around drinking and talking to five of his friends at 2:30 in the morning.
