Twisted Journey Into Darker Side of House

Advantages: Absolutely banging
Disadvantages: none

...you can probably guess.......I love Hed Kandi it really is music you can listen to anytime and anywhere. The Twisted Disco series of releases (as I said in my previous Hed Kandi review) are easily my favourites as I prefer my house music to be a little like me........deep, bangin, dirty and rough around the edges!! ha What you get with this CD is pretty much in the title "Twisted Disco", what they do is take some well known, and some not-so well ...
...more. As with all Hed Kandi releases the sleevework is a piece of modern art, with sublime drawings of Ibiza esque angels. The CD cover itself states the music is : 100% unholy, 0% saintly A truely twisted journey into the darker side of house. The full Cd track listing is listed below: Disc One 1. Perfect (Exceeder)-Mason Vs Princess Superstar [Martijn Ten Velden Vocal Remix] 2. Kinda New-Spektrum [Dirty South Remix] 3. PATT (Party All The Time)-Sharam ...

Review of Hed Kandi - Twisted Disco - Various Artists

"Funktronic oozescape" indeed.

Advantages: Astounding production, brilliant overall mood.
Disadvantages: Can be a definite acquired taste at times.

...rock, funk and folk, so Alice In Ultraland is a far less surprising album than its predecessor. The group have even signed onto the classic Harvest label (Floyd, Deep Purple and so on) and seem keen on letting you know by whacking the label logo on the front and designing the CD as one of Harvest's old vinyl labels. Perhaps they're hoping the album will fit seemlessly next to Atom Heart Mother in everyone's record collection. Atom Heart Mother is ...
...tracks here, which are neither truly progressive rock, but far less wacky than true psychedelia. They've also infused far more obvious blues and funk influences. The most successful is The Prophet (which may be familiar to those who heard one of the many incorrect versions of The Isness, as Yes My Brother), which is a Miles Davis infused jazz funk piece, complete with wah guitar, bubbling organs and liquid bass. The name Yes My Brother returns here, ...

Review of Alice In Ultraland - Amorphous Androgynous

Naaah! Funk Beef!

Advantages: A couple of big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

Bringing what was their seventh album under this name, Funkadelic released their seventh album in 1975. The George Clinton-led Funk band (who also went under Parliament for their more Soul-based work) came with “Let’s Take It To The Stage” with a line-up that included Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell , Fuzzy Haskins and most of the other regulars. 1. “Good To Your Earhole” They get the album underway with something expectedly strong as you find that ...
...and knew exactly what they were capable of as an act and so they lead the way nicely with some lively Funk material that makes the most of all aspects of the band and their unity that makes for such impressive work (that was seen to lead the way for all others working in this genre at the time). **Five Stars** 2. “Better By The Pound” With this one you see that you get Boogie Mosson laying down a hard groove on the bass to take them in and take them ...

Review of Let's Take It To The Stage - Funkadelic

Jill, You Know Jill

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...makes it appeal to those who won’t really get themselves into anything with such a twist to it. **Five Stars** 15. “Watching Me” Sampling a little something from the Acid-Jazz pioneer Roy Ayers, you see that you get a straight killer tune here as with this one you see that she is backed up by some raw Hip Hop beats with some light synth grooves giving it melody before she gets back to the spoken word (which later develops into raps) to mix things ...
...can’t contain her music and will go off in whatever direction it takes her. **Five Stars** 16. “Brotha” Sampling some classic Jazz in a simple piano loop (borrowed from Allen Toussaint) and I felt that it was a perfect way to set things up as she shows just how well her material seems to fit in with more traditional music (even though Neo-Soul is so progressive in its ways). It is another that shows her working at an optimal level, up to a standard ...

Review of Who Is Jill Scott (Words And Sounds Vol.1) - Jill Scott

CCC: Crip Clux Clan. Crip Crip Crip, Cs Up...

Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

In 2001 the duo of Goldie Loc, Tray Deee and Snoop Dogg released their second album as The Eastsidaz. The Long Beach, California trio came to bring what would become their final album together, due in part to the fact that Snoop Dogg wished to move on to other projects and Tray Deee was sent to prison for 12 years soon after and so “Duces ‘n Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way” would mark the end of a time when a distinctive West Coast sound would have ...
...2. “I Luv It” They get things lively with a DJ Battlecat-produced two-stepper that gives it a distinctive late nineties-to-early ‘00s West coast sound that takes heavily from the sounds of G-Funk from earlier on during the former decade but has things updated to hit in with the new developments in what they are capable of delivering by this point. Kokane of Above The Law comes to assist on this one too for a banger of a jam, in addition to Snoop ...
