Here's my 23 cents:

Anything "Space Age Pop" is great, and also check out the song Caravan by Bunny Berigan and his Orchestra available on the "Sweet and Lowdown" sountrack (actually most of the music on that soundtrack is great!)

Well, let's just list these things for ease...

Cuban Carnival (1956) -- Tito Puente
Two Guitars in Cha Cha" -- Billy Mure.
Pop-shopping - juicy music from german commercials 1960-1975
Greatest Hits -- Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
Os Mutantes -- Os Mutantes

Some more recent music (besides what others have mentioned already):
Low Kick And Hard Bop -- Solex
The CQ Soundtrack -- Various Artists
Shots in the Dark -- compilation of underground covers of Mancini songs (love it!)
Both Albums -- Tipsy (Fan-friggin'-tastic)
Most older stuff -- Man or Astroman?
"Something Wicked This Way Comes" -- Lost Highway Soundtrack -- Barry Adamson
Fantasma -- Cornelius (Space Age Pop in the year 2000)
Friends of Dean Martinez
Pirate's Choice -- Orchestra Baobab
"Showroom Dummies" -- Senor Coconut

And probably a lot more that I can't think of right now!
