If you dug the Dyke & The Blazers set I'd say Charles Wright / Watts Band reissues of Express Yourself and You're So Beautiful are essential purchases too. Both are packed with reams of unreleased gems.

Craig said: I thought it was common knowledge, even in the NWA days his lyrics where wrote for him. Ice Cube wrote most of Easy's rhymes too - in case that isn't common knowledge..

Well, so long as we can all accept that there's no chance of a deceptive Jew who boned a Palestinian ever even getting his wrist slapped let alone jail time for rape we're all cool here. We're all cool, right?

I've found their recent work really downbeat and lacking a certain crackling energy they used to have - a few banging slabs of brilliance, several forgettable numbers and one or two many songs that are just the wrong kind depressing. They sho…

I ride. Art For Sale is a masterpiece evertone here should have His debut album still bangs Potholderz is the stand out joint on MM..FOOD Shafiq Husayn's 'Major Heavy' works so well because the Count is so damn buttery I could go on.

Late to the party, but yeah, much dopeness up in here

Yep, for the Hard Bop end of things Blue Note had it sewn up - stuff like Hubbard's 'Breaking Point', Mobley's 'No Room For Squares' and the Henderson/Dorham collabs for example - but for the 'thoughtfully crafted outside stuff' (nicely put) Blue No…

To be fair to the critic, Mr Stubbs had a column in a UK mag that was all about slamming the hell out of accepted masterpieces, artists etc. It's not what he actually does for a living - he's a staff writer for the Guardian and The Wire magazine, an…

Damn I'm getting mauled. I thought it might be more evenly split. Surely SOMEBODY prefers Rubber Soul. Surely some of you dont really like Revolver a great deal. Surely. Surely.
-
I just find Revolver difficult to enjoy on the whole, and feel its probably one of the most overrated LPs in the history of rock. Rubber Soul, on the other hand, is great.
-
David Stubbs, one of my favourite writers summed it up quite nicely: In recent Greatest Album polls, it's become increasingly hip to cite Revolver as the finest Beatles album, and therefore, the greatest and most important rock album ever made. Rev…

Endtroducing? What a bizarre reference point. I dont understand the hold that album has over some people. Personally I was bored f*cking senseless by it back in '96, and its just gets worse everytime I hear it, which is far too much because here in …

'F*ck' isn't really offensive anymore. In fact, swearing on telly isn't really a big deal anymore, so says an exhaustive report published a week or so ago. So no, it aint no thang.

I used to take a lot of care with recording my tapes, and they still sound great. The bulk of my funk and jazz library is still on tape, I hated CDs in the early days (and still do for many reasons) and have tape recordings that sound much better t…

Some of you wouldn't. But that's just pointless hypothesisation. It's like speculating where the course of modern music might've gone had some no-name bassist from a pop band not made a fuss of Jimi Hendrix in '66.

YES THE ROOTS OWE ALL OF THEIR FAME AND FORTUNE TO EUROPE JUST LIKE JAZZ Well, it was a lot of those European Jewish emigres who recorded and made real business out of the stuff. No Hitler, no Blue Note. It's usually people from outside of culture…

Investigation Of a Citizen Under Suspicion That could be my favourite. I'd have thought the Ipecac compilation of his psychedelic outings of the early 70's - 'Crime and Dissonance' would be the Strutter's choice. I saw him in action once, a few y…

The Westbound sampler in which the alternate and likely much earlier-recorded version of Cookie Jar resides is called 'A Sweet Taste Of Westbound'. The non-LP Cookie Jar ya'll be chatting about is effortlessly up there in my all time top 10 P-Funk …

Mitch couldn't hold a pulse, a shuffle or keep it low down like Buddy, and likewise Buddy wasn't one to mess with erupting polyrhythms and subtle colourings like Mitch. Buddy didn't suit some of the early experience material but Mitch couldn't fill…

Hmm. I'd pick Mandrill myself - just because I dont think War made an LP as strong as Mandrill's 'Just Outside Of Town'. I really love that set. War had better singles, could jam a groove till the next morning but couldn't fashion an album like Ma…

I loved Jungle. It was the first stuff I could really get down and dance to when I was younger. When the 'sophistication', seriousness and tedious splintering started in earnest from '95-'96 onwards, when the hardcore ragga, funk and hiphop samples …

Trick thread - they're both classics, true classics, for utterly opposing reasons. Both 'camps' are right, but for my personal listening preference Doomsday wins quite easily.

I'm sure most of these guys* have been mentioned but what the hell (in no order): - Phelps 'Catfish' Collins* - Jimi - Eddie Hazel - Buzz Osbourne* - Sonny Sharrock - Marc Ribot - Trey Spruance* - Jimmy Nolen - Wes Montgomery - Liuz Bonfa *not men…

Some girl (a friend of my lil' sisters) 'borrowed' my Expensive Shit as well. I haven't heard it since which is a pity since it's my most loved Fela as well.

Yup, I still buy, play, and record onto - with my 4-track. I love tapes. I'll never throw mine away or do without my tape deck. Magnetic media was around before we were born and will be prized and safe long after we're dead.

My faves: Rhino Handmade Blood & Fire Honest Jons Soul Jazz and Ace[/b], who as already pointed out, have been doing this thing without a slip for over 30 years. That (almost) complete Dyke & The Blazers collection bought me far more ple…

I'm a little upset about this. She was a beautiful soul. RIP.
