I'm glad someone is following their 'calling' and giving up
a 'cushy' job.  I certainly envy Donald, I've gotten myself
tied up with this 9 to 5, stable job thing, and I 
don't think I'll be able to untie myself to follow my 
musical ambitions.  There's probably a lot of people on the
net that carry around the same 'quiet desparation'.

How come there is no stuff here about swing-beat and New Jack Swing
music? (I mean stuff like Teddy Riley, the Untouchables, Bell Biv DeVoe,
TLC, etc.).
Is there a separate group for that stuff that I am not aware about?

Good, good, good. Melodic with melloish hip-hop beats and good lyrics.
Some of the stuff is really moody and not as groovy as her previous album.
Well worth getting IMHO.

Hey....

I bought Basehead's cassette this Summer.  It was included as one of the "Wiz
Kids", which is, every month The Wiz picks out a group of new and up and com-
ing talent that they feel will be making noise in the future, and if youre not
satisfied, they give you a full refund...The first time I listened to it, I had
a lot of trouble understanding the lyrics also, so I used my headphones, and I
realized that the things Michael Ivey says are real funny...He sort of makes
fun of his problems and the problems in society...A song that stands out to me
is "Hair" which basically is about a girlfriend of his who anytime she comes
to visit  her hair is f----d  up...He suspects she is having an affair, and 
among the things he tells is that her hair looks like she's been driving with
the top down on the convertible , which he knows is untrue, then he comes
out and says that her head looks like its been banged into someone's bedhead
(if ya know what I mean)...Anyway, like I was saying, if you listen closely,
theres a lot of things that make you chuckle, but his delivery is so "drugged"
that it makes it seem even funnier...I think the sparseness of the music is
cool too, drums and guitars...real cool...I think I heard he is working on
material for a new album....

I'm looking into really fly labels like Emotive, E-Legal, and

Sade's album is DEF!!! only beef is that it's too short.  It has (like
most new stuff) some modern (=fonkee, fat bass-type) beats.  my
favorite: Kiss of Life.  it's more like her usual stuff & is really
nice.  There's not anything that you'll be disappointed in; i usually go
through the whole album each time i listen to it.  she has about 2
"socially conscious" songs on it, both are good (like everything else).
all in all, an 8+/10. (no 10 because it's too SHORT!!)

 At last!
 The 12" of the year has arrived, at least if you're into retrofunky music
 (whatever that is).
 Made by a guy that calls himself Jamiroquai it's called "When you gonna learn?"
 and it's on Acid Jazz records in Great Britain. You americans will have to buy
 it on import methinks. Anyway it's worth all the money.

 On the A-side there's a J.K-mix that begins with a dodgy didgeridoo played by 
 a guy from Galliano, then there are soulful strings, funky flutes, dunkin' 
 drummers, burning basses etc etc. All probably played live. On top of it is
 Jamiroquai singing/rapping very much like the great Gil-Scott Heron. Get this
 know if you're tired of machine-music. Better than anything BNH ever have done.
 The B-side features different remixes and the original demo. 
 Hopefully Jamiroquai will drop a solid album early next year.
 Til' then

The way I understand it, Jazzie B. and Nelley(sp?) Hooper of Soul II Soul
and the guys from Massive Attack were part of a group, until they separated
and did their own things, thats why the sound is so similar...I dont have
the tape in front of me right now(I can chk later if U want) but there are

name is Shara Nelson...I believe this is their first album, so there wouldnt

I've got their CD.  It is ok, very good in spots.  Basically, modern Prince
and P-funk influenced.

I want to state here & now that I hate what Prince has done to funk.
Something about his vocal style and production has taken the edge out of
funk.  Too many potentially excellent bands suffer from trying too hard to
imitate Prince.   Of course, this is my opinion.

I might just sell you my slapbak CD for cheap - let me know if you are
interested.

They have done two more albums. The second is called Kaleidoscope World
and the third I've forgotten  (it has 'Am I the same Girl' on it). The
third member of the group left after the first album. No idea what
became of him. The lead singer Corinne Drewery has a real sexy alto
flute voice - she apparently is a bit 'nutty'. Apparently they all
met in video game arcade (something like that) in London and Corinne
was wandering around taping all the funny noises there. Anyway they got
together. The male member who is still there likes sports cars.

As far as the best house dj remixer,I know his stuff is more melodic than hard-
core jacking, but I really like Frankie Knuckles' remixes, they sound sooo
smooth, and the light piano...real cool.  The only thing is that his remixes
are very similar sounding, as far as that trademark piano, and its really easy
to tell that it was a 'Knuckles Remix'.
