Please only contact me if I will gain something from it!

The comments I submit are meant to give some extra attention for releases that somehow stands out, deserves to be checked or that I feel is so good that leaving the rating 5/5 isn't good enough. Also want to apologize for my sometime caveman English! ; )

Been around since the first version of Discogs and with each update new rules how to submit a release have been applied, therefor some of my older submissions might seem incorrect compared to todays standard. Have been using Discogs longer then my profile states, don't know why the date is incorrect, possible it happened when the second version came into action. Also have to admit that YEARS ago I submitted a lot of stuff from another collector sites especially for the labels West End, Bottom Line & Salsoul which isn't a good thing to do but you have to understand when Discogs was VERY small and there was so much releases missing in the database that the site wasn't really functional. It was important to fill the label catalogs to make more people use Discogs and that way giving it a snowball effect (which really worked). This was accepted at the time, no one could ever imagine how successful and huge Discogs would become! The first version wasn't very user friendly, submissions could be pending for six months mostly because there was (If I remember right) only ONE Editor and Moderator. Today people have forgotten who really build this site, guys like DJ Insomnia, Moogman and Walli. I was the one who demanded that people had to leave Producer credits, not just in notes and since my fellow Moderators didn't agree with that I actually got fired as a Mod, later I was asked to join again. Also fought for YEARS that Soul and Funk would be accepted in Discogs. It has been a long journey but now it's working well and definitely hundred times better then just a few years ago. The system just gets better and better it's going to be excellent, close to perfect! There is a reason why the old "first rule" of Discogs "Relax, Discogs is never going to be perfect" have been removed.

Bar-Kays - Do It (Let Me See You Shake) - 02-Apr-06 03:57 PM
Had this record in my collection for a long time but somehow I remembered that it was a very weak release so I never listen to it. Was gonna sell it so I listen to it and BOOOOOM suddenly my sleepy tired Monday evening turned into a Saturday night party! Absolutely crazy funky that just make you bounce, very similar to the best stuff from Prince. Excellent example that simplicity really works, its all about the groove and having a good party. If you like Prince, check this one out - highly recommended!

Gene Chandler - I'll Make The Living If You Make The Loving Worthwhile - 31-Mar-06 08:01 AM
"Ill Make The Living If You Make The Loving Worthwhile" is another timeless Soul/Disco bomb that deserves much more attention so start hunting it down. Containing all the elements of a hit, tight production and arrangments, melody with an huge hook and great lyrics (Although as always about love). The song got a WARM uplifting sing-a-long vibe, very peaktime and catchy. Maybe more for the soulful people since the tempo is around 100 BPM. More then a recommendation, its an order - get it!

High Fashion - Feelin' Lucky - 11-Mar-06 05:00 AM
Warm soulful Boogie/Modern Soul that makes you wanna dance. Why? Because everything is damn tight, the production, arrangements and melodies creates a very uplifting vibe, timeless! Think the best 80s stuff that came from Luther Vandross, Keni Burke, Marc Sadane, The Jones Girls, Rene & Angela and you get a pretty good idea of the style. Great LP, each song being a winner but "Youre The Winner", "Hold On" and "Next To You" are the strongest cuts, also the slower "I Want To Be Your Everything" caught my attention. Super strong album - Highly recommended!

Heaven And Earth (2) - I Really Love You - 26-Feb-06 07:26 AM
An absolutely stunning and impeccable release that instantly hooked me. The production reminds me a lot of Leroy Burgess work, warm, strong melody and very catchy. Nice powerful vocals, the vocalist voice is very similar to Michael Jacksons. Solid peaktime synth Disco, highly recommended and definitely worth checking out.

Jimmy Briscoe And The Beavers - Invitation To The World / Living For Today - 20-Feb-06 11:38 AM
Avoid the terrible A-side and check out the great "Living For Today". Could easily fit on more soulful dancefloors, especially when pitched down a little, works well with most uptempo Modern Soul. With a shiny "feeling good" vibe and a catchy hook this is a tight track in every way! Highly recommended!
