Not sure if its the newest, but tis cool anyway. Its actually a remix album, not a studio album per se. Tracks are remixed by the likes of Squarepusher, Autechre etc. Well worth checking out.

Nice list.

I think the following:
Colleen - Everybody Alive Wants Answers
Devo - Freedom of Choice
Calexico - Garden Ruin
Ahmad Jamal - Pavane for Ahmad
Clifford Brown - Clifford Brown Memorial
Christian Kleine - Real Ghosts(vinyl)
Efterklang - Under Giant Trees(vinyl EP)
John Coltrane - Crescent
Squarepusher - Go Plastic!(vinyl)
Dave Brubeck - Time Out!

The Kleine was a random buy, very good though. I'm surprised to see Squarepusher recurring in ppl's lists.

cornbb

Squarepusher is a genius. Pure brilliance if you ask me. He excels in so many facets of music: drumming, bass/guitar, recording, production, programming, sampling, and the ability to write brilliant tunes. He can write great jazz, IDM and drum'n'bass among other things.

ZWEI_VIER_ZWEI

Chromeo - Fancy Footwork
Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children
Godflesh - In All Languages (Compilation album)
Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye
