Chrome Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Anyone else have "Flyin' the Koop" by Stanton Moore, the drummer from Galactic? Talk about getting a groove on ... I highly recommend this to anyone interested in MMW/jam band type stuff. In fact, Chris Wood plays bass on it. Quote
John B Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Yes! A big thumbs up for this disc. The second track, "Fallin' Off the Floor" kicks all sorts of ass. I think a lot of people, even those who are put off by MMW, would really enjoy this one. Quote
Dr. Rat Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Yeah. This is tasty. MMW-ish with a bit of New Orleans flavor. This got lots of action here when it was current. Think I'll pull that bad boy out on Friday. The Wild Magnolia's piece (Fallin' off the Floor) used to light up the phones pretty dependably. --eric Quote

I'll have to look around for the original version. Quote
Dr. Rat Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Sorry, not a cover, just uses a basic Wild Magnolias riff as a loop to build on, BUT, if you don't have the two Wild Magnolias French Polydor releases, by all means run off and buy. The self-titled album is definitely worth full-price admission. "They Call Us Wild" is a bit derivative and over-produced, but still good stuff. --eric Quote
John B Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Thank you for clarifying. I'm not familiar with the Wild Magnolias. I'll look them up on AMG. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Nicely called: I'm not really into MMW at all, but I like this one. . . . Quote
JSngry Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Good stuff indeed. And STRONG seconds for the Wild Magnolias, as well as the other Mardi Gras Indian musics. A fertile field, that is, with deep grooves aplenty and lyrics to keep you wondering. Bo Dollis RULES! Quote
chris olivarez Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Right on to what JSangrey said and thanks for the heads up on this one. Quote
Alec Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 I'll give another to "Flyin' the Koop" I just love the sound he gets out of those drums. I've played this for my freshman (HS) class during their journal writing and they all groove to it. Who says you can't teach these kids anything?! Quote
Selim Sivad Posted January 24, 2004 Report Posted January 24, 2004 A lot of acid jazz sounds out there too imitative or just plain turns me off, but this one is really good about pulling together different influences into something that's innovative sounding; Stan finds a fresh way to groove on each track. Inpired choice of musicians, too, Wood in particular stands out. Not a single drum solo on it, but none is needed. I've played the hell out of this about a year-year and a half ago. Aside: I once caught a bit of "Prairie Sunset" on an HP commercial; refreshing to know that somebody on Madison Avenue isn't gonna shove another rendition of "What A Wonderful World" down our throats.
