If you see my mother, tell her I'm all right
Just funkin' around, for fun!
Dislikes - the funkless (those who are too cool to dance,
they need to be splanked)
Feel free to e-mail me if you're selling anything in my wantlist,
although don't expect a reply.
I am not selling anything in my collection so please don't ask.

Another version of Nana, titled Nananina, is available on the Musique Sans Parole album. Both versions are great.

I was referring to the mastering more than the pressings. I've been lucky I guess, no issues with the pressings I've purchased so far in this series. But unfortunately vinyl pressings are terribly inconsistent at the moment, and that's across the...

There's no doubt that these guys (Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus) are two of the most important and influential figures in electronic music since the early 1990s. Not only because their standards are so ridiculously consistently high but because...

Hello beautyendecay, thanks for your response. I have heard all the Stinson interviews as far as I'm aware, and am well aware of the Drexciya Research Lab (though I haven't visited it in some years now). I've found Rennick's views interesting and he...

This series is about 20-25% cheaper than the Acoustic Sounds series, and from my experience I think the difference in quality is reflected in the price, so I'd say people should adjust their expectations accordingly. Similar to the difference between...

I don't understand why this is tagged as Storm 6, it doesn't say so on the release, has it ever been confirmed by anyone officially connected to Drexciya? Grava4 explicitly states on the cover that it's volume 6, so surely that is official?

The mastering for the Now Again reissue is definitely superior, unfortunately I had issues with my pressing so returned it, and will stick with my Superfly version for now.

Try "Do You Want To Get Down?" at the wrong speed, i.e. 33rpm instead of 45rpm, a cosmic brain melter! As the speeds aren't mentioned on the record I initially played both sides at 33rpm not realising until much later that it should be 45rpm for the...

Looking for just the cover in reasonable condition, message me if you've got one to sell.

Don't normally comment on pressings but seeing all the negative reviews here I thought I'd chime in and say my copy is pretty much perfect. On the other hand I've picked up noisy pressings of records that have almost universally glowing reviews. I...

Anyone know if there was a Crosswaves 004? I love Rick Asikpo's music, it's distinct and unique, dreamy groovy soulful electronic sounds.

The Extended Pleasure record is not a Moodymann record, it's a bootleg of the original versions of 2 tracks that Moodymann sampled, they then used the Moodymann logo on the record. I am quite sure this was done without his permission. Mass Production / Walter Murphy - Extended Pleasure

Agree, I love Nkono Teles! Amazing funky electro beats and great arrangements, I always look out for his name on the credits of Nigerian records from this era, usually a good sign.

Another strong Jake Sollo production, 3 really great tracks imo, A1, A2 & B1. Has a similar vibe to the Veno album released in the same year, indeed Veno is one of the backing singers on this album. On my copy the spindle hole has been enlarged, which...

I just noticed that the credits on this reissue are slightly different compared to the originals from 2002. On the originals, Sorrow & A Cup Of Joe is written and produced by The Other People Place and Telepathic Seduction is written and produced by...

According to Kris Need's George Clinton bio, the track was written by Garry "Diaper Man" Shider and recently recruited keyboard player David Spradley. Spradley laid down the track in the studio, then George entered the studio looking for a track...

Achingly beautiful Ethiopian solo piano masterpiece. I find it wonderfully expressive and heartfelt, complex yet not a note out of place. The themes of each piece are described in the liner notes, informing us of the traditions and culture of...

One element I really love about Dusty Cabinets is that the track really does sound like an old creaky dusty cabinet being used as an instrument of funk! Very unusual when it came out and still really nothing like it, one of Theo's best.

I remember getting this when it came out. There was a bit of a buzz about it in the record store as people were debating whether it was actually a Drexciya record or not, most people seemed unconvinced as it wasn't really like what they'd put out...

Pretty hard to go wrong with Tim Maia, especially with his 70s output. I particularly love this album, always puts a smile on my face and a glide in my stride. A side is mostly up tempo disco funk bombs and the B side is mostly slower soulful grooves,...

Brazilian boogie bombs! Produced by the legendary duo Lincoln Olivetti and Robson Jorge. Recommended.

Party Beats seems to be the more sought after solo album of Nkono Teles largely because of the title tune, which is admittedly a killer. However, I think this is the stronger album overall. Nice variety, a couple of good uptempo boogie tracks, modern...

The main bit is taken from Jean-Luc Ponty's Computer Incantations For World Peace, I don't think it's a sample though, more likely they replayed it. But I could be wrong about that.

Something Real, Something Good is a cosmic disco bomb, reminding a little of William Onyeabor. That's the only dancefloor track but it's a nice album overall. The rest is mostly groovy soulful rock music, but features prominent organ and synths that...

Great record. Pleasure is a disco-boogie bomb, and can be found on the Brand New Wayo compilation. But there's a lot of other great tracks that make this record well worth tracking down. Free Like The Wind is another monster, more on a funky cosmic...

Mastered by Frank Merritt, does a lot of stuff for Soundway. I have several of the tracks here on their original albums and I can confirm that he did a fantastic job on the remastering. Especially considering that there were no master tapes for most...

Amazing compilation of the obscure and mysterious Nigerian electronic music pioneer William Onyeabor. I became obsessed by his music when I heard "When The Going Is Smooth And Good", a lo-fi cosmic synth funk epic with an almost chicago house jack...

Superb Nigerian boogie/funk/disco album produced by the great Jake Sollo in the early 80s. Recorded and produced in England but a Nigerian only release. It took me many years to track this one down and it made me a very happy man indeed when I...

Don't forget Leon Ware also appears on this album. Agree with the recommendation, especially for Estrelar, fantastic!
