Chris Morris - My Wrongs # 8245 - 8249 & 117 - 11-Aug-07 05:41 AM
Warps first venture into short film sees Morriss excellent monologue from Series 2 Episode 4 of Blue Jam which recounts the tale of Rothko the talking dog. It remains true to the orginal script and it allows Morris to mess with an extra sense. If anyone you know has not heard of Chris Morris then lend them this, they will sink or swim.
Eugene McDaniels - Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse - 17-Jan-07 10:16 AM
Jagger the Dagger will always be the remembered and praised track from this superb album, but the quality does filter through to pretty much all the other tracks. Supermarket Blues is an amusing tale about the Rev Mc. D purchasing a tin of pineapple slices which turn out to be peas and the resulting racial prejudice when he goes back to exchange his purchase.
An all round great album as you might expect from a Joel Dorn production.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk* - Bright Moments - 04-Jan-07 01:32 PM
Now this is the kind of release I will always seek out, a live performance that keeps the interaction between musicians and audience as tracks in their own right. His sense of humour shines through, making jokes about his blindness along with some quirky observational humour.

Rahsaan was considered to be either crazy or a genius, from what I can hear my conclusion is a worthy genius. How many musicians can play multiple nose trumpets/flutes along with an array of self-modified saxophones. For me, this is a purchase on sight artist.

This whole album is worth a listen just for the sheer ballsy covers selection.
DJ Shadow really needs the credit for putting this into the mainstream of oddity vinyl collectors when he played it on Gilles Petersons Worldwide show a few years back. He played the cover of Neil Youngs Down by the River which, for me, is a rather odd choice as the song describes a man taking his girlfriend down to the river to shoot her.
A real golden nugget of vinyl for collectors of bizarre raw beat driven Soul.
