    british 70's horror

    I caught the end of a late 70s (by the looks of the clothes) Hammer movie on TV the other night. Unfortunately I can't remember the channel or the name (I think I was a bit too inebriated to get the pen and paper out!) but it looked sort of like a Tales Of The Unexpected type TV minimovie... I...

    funkiness

    But surely that's what makes THE FUNK isn't it - being so tight that you can do sloppy style with finesse...? I can't think of anyone with more FUNK than the people you mentioned above (except JB of course)

    funkiness

    And fantastic 70s-flavoured techno as Nu Era - Broken Techno EP / Some Think Electronic Version 1.0 . Although these are both a bit old now, they're still my favourite techno records of recent times (apart from JAMAL MOSS!)

    Philip K Dick suggestions

    I've been dipping into the collected short stories for the last couple of months. "Upon The Dull Earth"really sticks in my mind for its phantastic weidrness - an almost Lovecraftian tale of demon summoning, drenched in blood! I've just read "Holy Quarrel" this morning where a self aware defence...

    Soul Jazz Records

    I have to thank Soul Jazz for putting out Universal Sounds Of America when I was 18 and blowing my youthful mind - and it's still my favourite compilation ever! On a sour note though, they need to change their glue on the LPs...

    DJ Godfather (re: ghetto-tech)

    The best (and only!) ghetto-tech music i've got is a tape somebody posted me from Detroit in 95 - it's 12 Tech Mob (DJ Daddy Riff & Lenn Swann) "Bounce Dat Azz Mix Vol 1" and it's still my favourite mixtape ever!! Loads of D-techno / west coast electro classics mixed up with yer Miami Bass and...

    UK Hip Hop - Who rates it?

    Klashnekoff's 12"s have been the only thing i've liked UK hip hop wise in the last few years, to be honest I've missed the album - i'll have to go and check it out. I have to say that almost all the UK stuff on the Grand Slam cover CDs was nothing short of embarrassing!

    sa-ra creative partners

    They've just put out a cover of Sun Ra "Theme Of The Stargazers" which is pretty nice... I do like the weird tracks that they put at the end of their 12"s, but the main tracks while being full of dead interesting sounds and ideas just don't have the songwriting skills of OutKast. They're the...

    Sun Ra "Sleeping Beauty"

    Oops! :o I've just listened to a copy of "Sleeping Beauty" on my headphones and I can't find any sign of the problem Honest Jons reported. There are a few minor crackles and pops in the last third of the title track, but the remastering is so lush (check out hwo zingy the hi-hats sound!) it's...

    Sun Ra "Sleeping Beauty"

    Honest Jons told us not to sell any until it's remastered. Apparently it starts clicking and skipping about a minute into track 1....

    Sun Ra "Sleeping Beauty"

    Trouble is, there's a pressing fault and they've all got to go back until a repress is done!! WAHHHHH!!!

    How to be an Underground Smash!

    I think this would be allowed through by 'the committee' but any records that are simply carbon copies of others should be dealt with SEVERELY! This would kill 95% of recorded music - GOOD.

    Pierre Henrys Disco Album

    I got it on a 7" reissue (with same picture sleeve) a few years ago - I think Stones Throw might have had something to do with the reissue but i'm not 100% - might be easier to track down than the LP...

    what did you listen to today?

    Just listening to Tribesman Assault - Wackies dub LP reissue. I've got a pretty low tolerance for dub albums unless they're super FX-drenched (Dub Factor is probably my favourite) and this one's a bit too minimal for me BUT it is saved by a brilliant effect on a couple of tracks that sounds...

    updated hawaii-guitar music: does it exist?

    Check out Kenji Jammer - I think Honest Jons are importing the albums... Might be a bit too cheezey for you but it's worth a go!

    podcasting

    I've just been reading about podcasting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast and it all sounds like pretty interesting stuff - unfortunately all the downloads for the podcast receivers keep timing out on me... So has anybody got one of these to work, and more importantly have you found any good...
