  The last I heard, they were (as a group) doing a benefit for the family of 
the late Eddie Kendricks down in L.A.  They've re-signed with Warner Bros (
according to the 44-page booklet that came with "Eternal Dance"), and so it'
s fair to assume there's new product in the offing.

  "September" was released as a single, as part of the Best of, Vol I 
compilation, and as a live track on a "Music for UNICEF" album.  "Got To Get 
You Into My Life" was released as a single, the Best of compilation, and on 
the soundtrack to the (forgettable) Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club 
Band film, in which the song was performed by the group.

  Don't get too worked up about the live version of "Mighty Mighty".  It was 
a good idea to include it, but it's a very condensed version and when they 
vamp at the end, the horn section is as shrill as all get out.  I believe it 
wasn't included in 1975's "Gratitude" for that reason.

This week's NME said:
"Further proof that producer Bill Laswell's Axiom label is the one to watch 
if the unusual is your particular fascination. His lastest project, Praxis,
involves space bassist Bootsy Collins, chainsaw guitarist Buckethead,
keyboards wiz Bernie Worrell, drum-maniac Brain and beat demolisher/
ex-Jungle Brother Af Next Man Flip-Lord Paradox (aka Afrika Bady Bam),
all thundering the funk out of a set of tunes that sound as though they
were composed on Mars.
Imagine Sun Ra and his Arkestra fumbling through a version of Funkadelic's
"Maggot Brain" while a backbeat of earth-shaking, hardcore metal and jazz
squeal swirls in the distance..and that's only a fragment of Praxis'
power! These boys could be the biggest thang since the Disposable Heroes
of Hiphoprisy landed and let rap."

I bought it last week on the personnel and the fact that I've very 
much like the other Axiom releases that I have. My opinion is far closer
to the NME's, however your excerpt hit the nail on the head -
sometimes the guitar has a very progressive-rock sound to it which
can be a bit of problem, other than that the title "Transmutation"
is very appropriate.

Date: 9 Oct 92 14:33:00 GMT
Organization: NCR, E&M Dayton

Some people have asked me about Slave's performance in Dayton over the
summer.  They performed at the Fly City Music Festival at the Montgomery
County Fairgrounds along with some local artists and some other national
artists.

To be honest, I left early.  No flames please.  Right after their performance
started, it began to rain, and they finally called a rain delay because
they were getting shocked.  I had been there for a while, so I went home.
On my way, the radio said they were about to go back on stage, but I didn't
go back.

What I heard was good.  I talked to a guy I work with who played keyboards
for Slave for this performance.  He is from here originally (Dunbar H.S.,
Robin) and he said they are not like they used to be.  I don't remember 
hearing them back then, so I can't really judge.  

Sorry for the disappointing recap, but that's all I know.  It was good, but I 
cannot compare it to how they used to be.  I didn't hear any rave reviews,
so I imagine it was fair at best.

  "Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis). Praxis. The merged efforts of Funkadelic
veterans Bootsy Collins (vocals, bass) and Bernie Worrell (keyboards) and
3 other musicians might have resulted in something fascinating. Instead, 
this Transmutation is a disappointing debut that meanders back and forth

So, who has heard this and what do you think? Personally, Bootsy on vocals

$100?? I bought an original copy of Parliament's Funkentelechy
for 99 cents in Boulder, CO. about three years ago.  Even had the
original comic book in it.  So I would say with the number of 
people dumping their vinyl into used record stores it shouldn't be
impossible to score some P-Funk.  Right now I'm trying to
find One Nation ... on CD.  I got Let's Take It To The Stage
about 3 months ago.  As someone who grew up on Aerosmith and Led
Zeppilin it is a great joy to discover something so hot that
you never knew about.

You funkateers might want to pick up Miles Davis's Doo Bop.
It'll do you right.

One can, but most adults don't have time to keep up with the  mind-boggling
amount of music being produced today in the mainsteam, not to mention the
underrground stuff which is far more experimental, interesting and (frequently)
"challenging" in its subject matter.

By the same token, why bother having movie ratings?  Maybe the parents should
just watch every new movie that comes out, too.  And the networks should,
of course, stop scheduling more mature shows for later in the night, and
leave it to the parents to watch all the shows and decide what's right.

You make a point.  Parents can and probably should be more proactive.  But
without the labels, they have no basis to judge what needs their screening.
I think parents who see the labels and automatically forbid their children
to buy the records they're on are stupid and odious, but the labels in and
of themselves aren't so much a problem as parents who don't take the time
to educate themselves to learn which of these "parental advisory" records
might be inoffensive.

And I didn't take the "you" personally, either.  I'm just trying to indicate
that this issue is a lot more complicated than is generally assumed.  It re-
quires reasoned thinking on both sides of the debate.  Too bad one can't
enforce intelligence and tolerance.

Try also an outfit called _Massive Attack_ (the album is Blue Lines) for
grooves in the style of Young Disciples and Dream Warriors.  A tune
called Safe From Harm rips off a killer Billy Cobham riff.  JJJ in

It's good gear... but not Acid Jazz per se, more rap/funk with jazz

  Speaking of Slave, last year the urban stations here in the Dayton Ohio 
area were giving a fair amount of airplay to a new single by Steve 
Arrington (yeah, I know -- he left Slave years ago).  Far as I know, it 
never charted, the single was never in wide release and there was no album.  
Anybody know anything about this single?

  Actually, Computer Games was released in 1982.  A tad disappointing to 
me- the first side is great, the second is lame aside from "Atomic Dog."

The Tangerine Dream show at the Beacon theatre in NYC was about 75% sold out

Hi Jim,

I just installed 10 Sparc 10's with EDS Unigraphics running PHIGS.
Works like a charm. My SunDials spin shaded parts without any difficulty
