Afrika Bambaataa - Looking For The Perfect Beat 1980-1985 - 26-Oct-09 03:37 PM
This collection is like one big late 70s early 80s New York house party, Roxy session, Mudd Club or Ritz gig with Jazzy J on the decks & Afrika "Master of Records" Bambaataa bobbing around next to him, It is a better indication of what was going on in that scene than listening to any Sugarhill Gang album or Kurtis Blow for that matter.
They took the stage like Parliament for the next generation incorporating funk, go-go, party hip hop routines & electro and completely funked it up and sent it towards the stars.
The fact is the Zulu Nation (which began around 73) & Bam are all still going strong, much respect due.

Silver Bullet - Bring Forth The Guillotine - 26-Oct-09 03:36 PM
Bullets first solo single on Tam Tam following Whats dat sound with Triple element.
As much as I like Whats dat sound, Bring Forth The Guillotine was on another level.
John Carpenters Halloween sets the scene & when Chuck D announces "Here it is" all hell breaks loose.
For me it was a turning point for rap as I had never heard such a spooky track that rocked the dancefloor & Ben Chapmans production was awesome.
Tam Tam of course saw $$$ signs & got Norman Cook to do a remix which Bullet (not a fan of Acid House) hated so much I heard he gave Norman a go on the street.
This set the tone for the common eerie thread that ran through most of Bullets tracks
Devastating UK rap that helped to start a sound unlike anything that had come out of the US.

Tournesol - Moonfunk - 22-Oct-09 11:26 AM
This to me is an "album" which was a bit of a rare thing in the electronica scene around its the time of its release, a mixture of ambient, beats, hip hop, house, techno and even a wigged out jazzy tune but it all worked well together. R & S was starting to sign breaks orientated artists and moving in different directions and this album was perfect for them showcasing their history of pushing the boundries of techno / electronica and also proving that they were moving with the times, I never get sick of this one.
