  7. That debut Hi-Lo's 45 of "They Didn't Believe Me" does not come easily on CD, which is a shame. In some several ways, my favorite record ever of there's, straight outta the gate. Just SO fresh....
  8. I'm more than a little shocked that a high-class, quality-conscious operation as this would get song titles wrong, but that's ok, I know what they are!
  9. As another twist of quirk and cutout binnage traffic of the times, I hear Lambert, Hendricks, & Bavan years before Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross. Their Live at Basin Street East LP (in a Dynaflex pressing, no less) ended up in a Gibson's Discount Center for $1.99 or some such. I must confess that I loved the band, loved Hendricks too (& Lambert a little less), but Bavan sounded kind choppy on her vocalese...but superb on the part singing. This video is...sweet. Her hand and face singing is enchanting and a record conveys none of that. Still just a LITTLE choppy on the vocalese, but, damn, she handles those tempos, eh? Thinking about it, how many options were there to take Annie Ross's place? The cumulative skill set needed...it would either have to be some freakish unknwon studio singer or a complete unknown chopmistress like Bavan, The choice would be obvious, I would think!

    I felt the same way about the Huxtable family.

  15. for you traditionalists there's that. for everybody else, there's this: funny, I never really cared for Tania Marie until I heard this. Fuck you Concord.
  16. There is an excerpt of full remix, but it's not on YpuTune. Tomorrow's Sunrise (Sakura Hills Disco 3000 Remix)
  17. Clifford Coulter, y'all! just how much fusion can one world handle?
  18. Ok, does this count? Heavy sampling from the Drum Session LP that Inner City put out but was originally a 2 LP set on Japanese Phillips So, they are here: but so are they: oh look, Oliver Nelson! and George Benson! I mean, what the hell are they thinking!

  20. 60s. For me, it's more a question of just how predictable has this genre gotten. And to often the answer is "more than I feel comfortable with". Same as with both genres that go into the fusion itself. Enjoyable, often, but favorite, hardly ever. What can get my attention once in a while is a Latin House joint that bangs it around a little bit. Been a while since I had that window open though. But as far as "too much drums" or whatever...no such thing, not in this world. Everything is a drum, and it has always been so. It's taken this era of humanity to realize that, but you know, you can't unlearn that shit, so don't even try, right?
  21. Try it with alcohol/weed and sex all at the ready. Context, baby, context.
  22. high school flashback...had a buddy who was into horn bands (as were many of us) who was BIG on Chicago, and he bought that OG LP box. It was good enough, but...that was never a band i really warmed to even at their best. Selected cuts were all I could live with. 16 CDs would be like a chicken spaghetti supper where they keep filling your plate up and making you eat it until curfew, and then give you that much more again to take home and by god, you better take it and you better eat it.
  23. Definitely. Elmo Hope's composing is still profoundly underappreciated. People who want to catch up on/to it are strongly encouraged to do so.
