Got all those guys you speak of in there Matt.

Royal House's Can You Party I think (later half-inched by Technotronic on Pump Up The Jam; still a good track actually, as I discovered at a wedding recently!!) - anyone know if this came before or after Larry Heard/Mr Fingers Can You Feel It? I get the feeling they were pre-'88 UK aciiieed/rave like some of those '86-'88 Detroit & Chicago choons.blissblogger said:"Can You Feel It" strictly rhythm 91 is a killertune, great riff and quite ravey
(must investigate, though......is there a chance it's that tune with the "can you feel it" vocal chant?)
this compilation, available through emusic, actually has an awful lot of the early classic stuff

but y'all be wanting the vinyl i'm sure
i started looking at that. you read my mind!
what i did find was they've reissued 10 twelve inches of classic todd on the back of it. walked to the till with 6 of them that i'd found, but the artwork was so repellant, and they were hideously expensive and literally stopped at the last minute.
the orginals are so bloody cheap y'see. dived into the m&v on saturday- went straight to the todd bin and picked out originals of 'alright alright' AND 'the mexican'. only set me back a tenner!
so dated that sound quality wise it would sound almost laughable if you told someone it was ever cutting edge once
I thought "todd is god" referred to todd edwards
Do you really think so?
I would agree if you were talking about Bonesbreaks, How & Little, Musto & Simonelli etc etc (other NYC contempraries) but I really think TT's productions stand up even today.
Yes they sound old, before music started having loads of sub-bass, but really bright and crunchy drums, good production IMO.
I always thought it referred to Todd Rundgren!!
I can't think of anything much to add here, although I've got a hip-house collaboration with T La Rock on Fresh Records (lovely generic sleeve design) from '89 that's a lot of fun.

I searched for Check This Out for many many years, absolutely brilliant. Trademarked Todd snares.
And you will say that Weekend is cheesy but I don't care, that's just beautiful.
Royal House's Can You Party I think (later half-inched by Technotronic on Pump Up The Jam;
Add to that Kariya's Let Me Love You For Tonight, which is on this Todd (& others)-packed extravaganza - http://www.discogs.com/release/570811'Weekend' is amazing! One of my favourite garage tunes ever, proper belting diva stuff which you'd have to have a heart of stone to not be moved by. Up there with "The Pressure" by Sounds of Blackness or "Workout" by Frankie Knuckles. Any of those three records could make me weep like a wee girl.
'flow with the rhythm' is another one he did, with todd, it's brilliant, great record, tough as old boots.
