No, not yet anyway. The way I heard the story was that the BNH stopped
work on their album do this as a kind of side project. They do have some
UK released singles and EP's that aren't out here ("Ultimate Trunk Funk"
EP comes to mind).

I also saw them on "YO MTV Raps!" a few weeks back as the house band for
a week, and it was pretty cool. If you don't have their self-titled debut
release, grab it now.

While I'm at it, anybody have the lowdown on a group called Slapbak?
They're getting talked about on the funkymusice mailing list, and I'm
looking for other opinions.

AND! The P-Funk All-Stars are coming back to Minneapolis for the second
time in three months! This time at the Minneapolis Hyatt Regency
Ballroom. Still no Glam Slam gig, though! Whatever, let's get funked!

     "Homebrew" is very funkee indeed.  As most reviewers have
noted, it is jazzier, more subdued, and not as danceable as her
first effort.  But I like it better.

Hey...

Im a big Prince fan, so I dont know if I can really be fairly critical, but
I personally like the new album, some songs I like better than others, but
overall I think its cool...Yeah, its not all the way funk, but on this album
he gave us a whole collage of music styles...I mean, theres rock and roll, 
techno/rave,funk,r&b,jazz,reggae,pop,rap,and a slight tad of opera...he's
covered all the bases, and...he sounds credible!! I guess if you were looking 
for a straight up funk album, youd be disappointed, but If youre like me,liking
a wide range of music, and also liking Prince's voice, then its pretty satis-
fying....

I really like "HOMEBREW". Good lyrics and great beat. Somedays is a single that
is very different along with Trout, a duet with Michael Stripe. I like almost
every track on this CD and it is well worth purchasing.

What is a Sony Budokan headset?

Is it a particular model of headphones? The term is mentioned in
several Massive Attack songs. 

I thought Budokan was the name of a big arena in Japan where bands in
the 1970's recorded live concerts.

...anyone have a Massive Attack discography, or info about who's who
in the group? (e.g., one of them had a lot to do with the first Soul
II Soul album, didn't he?)

Seems to me they *must* have remixed Daydreaming and/or Unfinished
Sympathy, and not just Safe from Harm.

Yeah... the band is The Reddings (who are the sons of Otis R.) and
the tune is called "The Awakening". It's on an LP called 
"The Awakening" - the rest of the record is not so hot, but

Yeah, Sony put out this model a few years ago. Supposedly the combination
of the custom headphones and the custom walkman were able to replicate
the sound of hearing the band in the Budokan arena.

Yeah I love funk, and I'm from New York City
But what about outside NYC?

Everyone out there is talking about all of the funk that you can buy and see
touring, mostly stuff (good stuff) from the 70's though, and it's all rare! I'm
 doing my best, but here in Rochester, there is no local band I can find that 
does real *FUNK*.  

The point of this is that home, in NYC, there's a thriving little pocket of
funk bands, from the sort of funk of the Spin Dr's to the all out funk of
bands playing various dives in Greenwich Village, like Marmalade, the one
I like most.  Where can I find what I want to listen to? Do you know how 
hard it is to find a copy of "let's take it to the stage" ? 
Help! lost in metalville! 
For anyone else, if you go to New York, see some of these acts!

I loved "No Way" but Axxiss' "All I'm Askin You" (Kenny Dope) is flat out
slammin. Todd gets mundo props in my world but throws out way too much bunk
stuff (cf The Sax EP, LP, etc.). The quality to bunk ratio for Kenny Dope
is much higher in my book.

The rest of the album is sorta like the track you heard - if you didn't like
