LJ Hivemind, help me

[cyrano]

I'm working on a requested mix--Ebonlock wants a response to her Hellfire a Go Go album--and I'm trying to figure out what I have in my collection that's mod and groovy. But I'm not sure I can distinguish mod and groovy from funky, especially when dealing with modern bands looking back.
I've got some possible ideas, like PortisHead and The Like, but what I'm trying to find on the internets currently is some idea of how to define the sound I'm looking for.
You should feel free to advise me, and consider this your IFIAYAQ! Day entry.

P.S. - Look for a song called Jim the Jinn by De Phazz. I think it fits the bill.

More generally and less specific to this project, you might look into the entire soundtrack to The Truth About Charlie--a mediocre remake of Charade that had an awesome soundtrack (on which that song appears).

So noted. I remember seeing trailers for that and thinking "Wow. I have no interest in seeing or scorning that film." But The Matrix has proved that a soundtrack can be of more worth than the film. (:
