Review

Every so often, a piece of music comes along that defines a moment in popular culture history: Johann Strauss' operetta Die Fledermaus did this in Vienna in the 1870s; Jerome Kern's Show Boat did it for Broadway musicals of the 1920s; and the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album served this purpose for the era of psychedelic music in the 1960s. Saturday Night Fever, although hardly as prodigious an artistic achievement as those precursors, was precisely that kind of musical phenomenon for the second half of the '70s — ironically, at the time before its release, the disco boom had seemingly run its course, primarily in Europe, and was confined mostly to black culture and the gay underground in America. Saturday Night Fever, as a movie and an album, and a brace of hit singles off of it, suddenly made disco explode into mainstream, working- and middle-class America with new immediacy and urgency, increasing its audience by five- or ten-fold overnight. The Bee Gees had written "Stayin' Alive" (then called "Saturday Night"), "Night Fever," "How Deep Is Your Love," "If I Can't Have You," and "More Than a Woman" for what would have been the follow-up album to Children of the World, and they might well have enjoyed platinum-record status with that proposed album. Instead, Robert Stigwood asked them in early 1977 to contribute songs to the soundtrack of a movie that he was financing, a low-budget picture called "Tribal Rites on a Saturday Night." More out of loyalty to him than any belief in the viability of the film, they obliged; the group's involvement even survived the decision by the original director, John Avildsen, that he didn't want their music in the film — instead, Stigwood fired him and brought in the very talented but much more agreeable John Badham, the movie's title was changed to Saturday Night Fever, the Bee Gees' music stayed, and the result was the biggest-selling soundtrack album in history, a 25 million copy monster whose sales, even as a more expensive double-LP, dwarfed the multi-million units sold of Children of the World and Main Course. Strangely enough, for all of the fixation of the movie and its audience on dancing, the Bee Gees' new songs were weighted equally toward ethereal ballads, which may be one reason for the soundtrack album's appeal — it delivers what its audience expects, plus a "bonus" in the form of the soaring, lyrical romantic numbers that were, as with most ventures by the Gibb Brothers in this area, virtually irresistible. Despite the presence of other artists, Saturday Night Fever is virtually indispensable as a Bee Gees album, not just for the presence of an array of songs that were hits in their own right — and which became the de facto soundtrack to a half-decade of pop culture history — but because it offered the Gibb Brothers as composers as well as artists, their work recorded by Yvonne Elliman ("If I Can't Have You"), and Tavares ("More Than a Woman"), and it placed their music alongside the work of Kool & the Gang and MFSB; in essence, the layout of the soundtrack release was the culmination of everything they'd been moving toward since the Mr. Natural album. Even the presence of David Shire's "Night on Disco Mountain" and "Salsation" and Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven" don't hurt, because these set a mood and a surrounding ambience for the Bee Gees' material that makes it work even better. Heard on CD as 79 minutes of music, Saturday Night Fever comes off like an idealized commercial-free radio set of late-'70s dance music (and, in that regard, the decision to leave Rick Dees' "Disco Duck" off the soundtrack album was a good one for all concerned, except Dees). The album has been out several times on CD, including a Mobile Fidelity audiophile disc that's rarer than hen's teeth and 1995 remastered, newly annotated audiophile edition from Polydor.

Freddie Hubbard - First Light

Never one to take lyricism for granted, trumpeter and composer Freddie Hubbard entered Creed Taylor's studio for the third time in 1974 with the express purpose of making a record radically different from anything he'd cut before; he was looking for it to use electricity and to be out of the soul-jazz mold, but was also more ambitious and wanted to push that envelope and himself. Taylor and Hubbard assembled a band that included Herbie Hancock on Rhodes, guitarists Eric Gale and George Benson, bassist Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette on drums, Airto Moreira on percussion, and Richard Wyands on acoustic piano to back him. The band was also supported by the truly ethereal and adventurous string arrangements of Don Sebesky (a first for Hubbard). The result is a masterpiece of textured sound, gorgeously far-flung charts, sweet, tight grooves, a subtle mystic feel, and some of Hubbard's most exciting playing ever. The title track and Hubbard's ingenious read of Paul and Linda McCartney's "Uncle Albert/ Admiral Halsey," as well as Leonard Bernstein's "Lonely Town," are so in the pocket that they bleed soul. Benson's uncharacteristically edgy guitar playing juxtaposed against Hubbard's warm tone, and Hancock's beautifully modal Rhodes lines that are drenched with big, open, minor chord voicings, are simply made more illustrious and graceful by Sebesky's strings. While Red Clay and Straight Life are both fine albums, First Light is the one that connects on all levels -- and it did with the jazz-buying public as well. A masterpiece. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

From Los Angeles, were signed to Polydor Records in 1981 and were taken under the wing of session drummer James Gadson (who was a former member of a Kansas City group called the Carpets). Nolan Semien, the lead singer, was a local vocalist, singing at bars before joining the group.That year the band released an album on Polydor entitled 'Saturday, Saturday Night'.The album has, since it's release, become highly sought after for the rare groove ballad 'Love Seasons', with it's unusual synthesiser noises by session musician Wayne Stallings.James Gadson had Wayne Stallings, on the synthesiser, hit the same note that Nolan Semien hit for that high note he held, following which he had the synthesiser trailoff the note to make the listener believe Nolan held it longer and higher.The group recorded a further album a year later, this time without the assistance of James Gadson.

AMG Review:
With an eye and ear on what was happening on the soul charts -- James Brown in particular -- Benson made a decided swerve toward R&B on this release. Indeed the JB's Pee Wee Ellis turns up as a big band arranger on three tracks, and he no doubt had a direct influence on the distinct JB groove of one of the non-big-band tunes, "Dance." It should come as no surprise by now that this formidable guitarist has no problem handling any kind of groove, although the mixed rhythm section of Jack DeJohnette, Ron Carter, electric pianist Harold Mabern, and percussionist Mobutu sometimes sends mixed messages. Earl Klugh has a few tasty moments on his own, and there are some reconnaissance flights back to the jazz side of George, which he handles with his usual confident aplomb.

Straight fusion set by trumpeter Tom Browne, replete with double-tracked vocals and songs heavy on backbeats and light on solos. Everything is nicely played, and the album did do moderately well on charts and with Adult Contemporary audiences.[All Music Guide - Ron Wynn]
Smooth funky jazz from Tom Browne -- caught here during his best early years! The record's his second best next to Love Approach, but it's got almost the same sort of feel, with tight late 70s studio jazz jamming -- and a buttery smooth sound from Browne's post-Donald Byrd trumpet licks. Includes the great break cut "I Never Was A Cowboy", plus "Herbal Scent", "Throw Down", "What's Going On", and "Promises For Spring". [Dusty Groove Inc]

Kool & The Gang - Love & Understanding [1976]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/front217.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=401&u=11645357)
Following on the heels of their 1975 smash Spirit of the Boogie, Kool & the Gang hit the road to tour the album and record new material. One tumultuous show, at London’s Rainbow Theatre, became the core of Love & Understanding. Three live tracks, “Hollywood Swinging,” “Summer Madness,” and a dreamily mellow “Universal Sound,” are all excellent reminders of just how good this band could sound when they found the vibe and had the funk firmly in hand. But as good as this stuff is, there are ominous glimmers among the goods, of musical moves the band were contemplating — heard most markedly in the bland “Sugar” and “Do It Right Now.” For, despite the sureness with which they were creating driving funk, they were also struggling with the oncoming disco explosion. That push-pull was duly reflected in the album. The studio tracks are the most uneven. At their best, they are dominated by the opening title track and its near-instrumental twin shadow “Come Together,” which closes. Both songs are horn heavy, an insistent call for unity, love, and peace. The rest of the album is sandwiched between this jazzy cacophony but, despite the rocky moments, Love and Understanding remains a remarkable album, recorded at a time when the band was still reveling in the grip of pure funk, uncorrupted by the mainstream.

PARLET
Invasion of the Booty Snatchers
(1979, Casablanca)

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd63/hqshare_photos/invasionofthebootysnatchers.jpg

Web Rip | Funk, Disco, Soul | FLAC

Review:
Parlet's second album, Invasion of the Booty Snatchers, found Parliament/Funkadelic leader George Clinton supervising a new edition of the female trio. Jeanette Washington was still on board, but this time, she joined forces with Shirley Hayden and Janice Evans instead of Debbie Wright and Mallia Franklin. However, Invasion of the Booty Snatchers (whose title is based on the 1950s sci-fi/horror movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers) isn't a radical departure from Parlet's first album, Pleasure Principle. Clinton (who produced this 1979 LP with Ron Dunbar) still goes for variety, and Parlet's sophomore album is as unpredictable as their first. While goofy numbers like "No Rump to Bump" and "Huff-N-Puff" are very Parliament-sounding, "Ridin' High" (a minor hit) and the glossy "Booty Snatchers" have more of a disco influence -- "Ridin' High," in fact, almost sounds like a marriage of P-Funk and Chic. Meanwhile, the pleasing "Don't Ever Stop (Lovin' Me, Needin' Me)" is a conventional Northern soul ballad -- conventional by Clinton's standards, that is. As strong as Invasion of the Booty Snatchers is, the LP wasn't a huge multi-platinum seller; many of the P-Funk addicts who bought Parliament and Funkadelic's albums religiously didn't spend a lot of dollars on Parlet. Nonetheless, Invasion of the Booty Snatchers is arguably the group's finest and most impressive release.

Brainstorm - Journey To The Light [1978]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/front232.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=428&u=11645357)
Although Brainstorm's debut album, Stormin', didn't make the Motor City outfit a huge name in R&B, it did contain a number 14 R&B hit ("Lovin' Is Really My Game") and indicated that Brainstorm was a band to watch out for. There was reason to believe that Brainstorm might go on to become huge, but regrettably, its sophomore effort, Journey to the Light, was a commercial disappointment. The LP didn't provide any major hits, and the only people who bought it were Brainstorm's hardcore followers. Regardless, Journey to the Light is generally excellent. Brainstorm had a gem of a lead singer in Belita Woods, who really soars on tunes that range from Stevie Wonder's funky "Every Time I See You, I Go Wild!" to the quite storm pearl "If You Ever Need to Cry" and the jazzy, Roy Ayers-ish "Brand New Day." Nor are the lead vocals of Trenita Womack (who is featured on the slow jam "Loving Just You") and Deon Estus anything to complain about. One can speculate on the reasons why Journey to the Light wasn't as commercially successful as Stormin' -- some would argue that none of the songs had as much disco and dancefloor appeal as "Lovin' Is Really My Game." At any rate, this is an album that should have done a lot better. [Alex Henderson – All Music Guide].

War - Platinum Jazz [1977-Fron War "Collector's Edition]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/front253.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=452&u=11645357)
An often overlooked and underrated part of War's legacy was their instrumentals, many of which were quite imaginative. War's members loved jazz, and they expressed that passion not because they had any illusions of trying to compete with Miles Davis or Joe Henderson (or even Charles Earland and Grover Washington, Jr.), but simply for the enjoyment of it. Initially released as a two-LP set and reissued as a single 78-minute CD in 1992, Platinum Jazz gathered War's previously released instrumentals with fine results. Jazz fusion material ranging from the unpredictable "City, Country, City" (arguably the band's best instrumental ever, and certainly their best known) and the salsa-influenced "Nappy Head" to the mellow "H2Overture" and the congenial "Smile Happy" show just how effective War's members could be without vocals. And when saxman Charles Miller and keyboardist stretch out, it's clear that as improvisers, they weren't half bad. (Alex Henderson-All Music Guide)

01. War Is Coming! War Is Coming!
02. Slowly We Walk Together
03. Platinum Jazz

Ravi Coltrane - From The Round Box
JAZZ | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | TIFF | 397MB | 56:23
RCA/Victor 2000

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/6141d7faafa1bfec1a9e9c8e6fce2063 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/273795/RaviColtrane1.jpg)

On his second release as a leader, tenor and soprano saxophonist Ravi Coltrane succeeds in making a name for himself, sidestepping comparisons to his father John Coltrane while acknowledging that obvious influence. From the Round Box finds Coltrane covering Wayne Shorter ("Blues à la Carte"), Thelonious Monk ("Monk's Mood"), and Ornette Coleman ("The Blessing"), along with three of his own compositions and two from longtime musical associate trumpeter Ralph Alessi. Along with Alessi, Coltrane surrounds himself with sympathetic, like-minded musicians, pianists Geri Allen and on one cut Andy Milne, bassist James Genus, and drummer Eric Harland. As a leader Ravi Coltrane makes sure this music is stimulating and thought provoking but never incomprehensible. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide

CYMANDE - s/t
SOUL/FUNK/REGGAE/ROCK
All tracks originally released 1972-74
(FLAC image+cue)

http://images.jamsbio.com/images/brasstrax5/cymande.jpg


If you're into the hot compilations such as 'Super Disco Brake' and the like, you probably hear of Cymande's classics "Dove" and "Bra".
Cymande name was created due to one of Calypso's main characters called Dove. With South American origins, it's a testament for 'Peace and Love', and their music, formerly baptised as 'Nyah-Rock', is a fantastic blend of wonderful rhythms, from Jazz to Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Caribbean music and specially Calypso.
The atmosphere is very deep, intense, and at the same time rhythmic, funky, soulful, with Caribbean and South American Music flavors.
Based in London on the very early seventies, Cymande was composed by the bassist Steve Scipio, Joey Dee & Ray King on the vocals & percussion, Derek Gibbs on the Alto/Soprano, Pablo Gonsales on the Congas, Peter Serreo (Tenor), the wonderful guitarrist Patrick Patterson, multi instrumentalist Mike Rose (Alto/Bongos/Flute), and Sam Kelly on the drums.
Sampled by king tee, De la soul, fugees ...

some rip 128, some 320,, too small or too big....i'm ok with 192
some do not declick, (with lossles i can do it if not done before)
some are too sharp and some too muffled then u can't do anything with mp3....
some (the worst) are reconvertion from another mp3....
then....let's go with LossLess!!!!!!!!

You're welcome, Kosta. I'm glad you found some albums that you liked. I'm in a continual battle of trying to create room for all of these downloads. I have again fallen way behind in trying to download and also rip and upload. It's hard to even get to listen to while gathering it all, although I bumped that "Funky Lady" probably over 10 times last night. :498:

Since Run put me on the road to lossless rips, it's been hard for me to listen to anything under 320. The only way I download anything under that now is if i'm gathering music for others or if it's something that's rare, so I definitely agree with you there.

Sorry but I don't have anything by High Inergy on CD, only vinyl. Hopefully one day I will learn how to convert my wax because a lot of that stuff still hasn't made it to CD yet.

AMG Review:
Although they were certainly guilty of some lackluster moments on their studio albums, the Three Degrees were another entity entirely when performing live. On-stage and in front of an audience, they were charged, bounding through snappy sets with phenomenal energy. This 1975 concert, recorded with a full orchestra in Leicester, England, is that pudding's proof. And, being 1975, the band covers all its hits, powering through "TSOP," "When Will I See You Again," and "Dirty Ol' Man" with an easy, breezy style that's a refreshing lift after some more forced moments on the preceding International. But things get really interesting on some inspired and often off-kilter choices included in the set, as listeners hear the band break out of its Philadelphia International cocoon. As a treat for their English audience, according to the band's between-song patter, the Three Degrees punch up Elton John's then-current hit, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," turning it into a quick-stepping R&B-styled groover. Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City," combined with "For the Love of Money," receives similar treatment, while the trio's rendition of the Edgar Winter Group's roots rock classic "Free Ride" takes first place in the oddest cover ever category. It's a wild and well-thought-out set, spotlighting the Three Degrees where they are most comfortable and at their best. The sound is clear and clean, sacrificing some vicarious energy by mixing the obviously enthusiastic audience down but not quite out of the experience. It's a timeless treat.

The Fatback Band - NYCNYUSA [1977]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/front11.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=410&u=11645357)
Review:NYCNYUSA is an improvement over 1976’s lackluster Night Fever, but not by much. It suffers from the same problem that plagues many of the albums in the Fatback catalog: While the group has no problem generating solid grooves, they often have trouble translating them into enough solid songs to sustain an album. Inconsistent material continues to be a problem on NYCNYUSA: “Spank the Baby” layers a chant that is inane even by disco standards over a repetitive jam while “Duke Walk” sinks the pleasant quality of its pop-reggae feel with a dull arrangement that lacks any interesting twists and turns. Another problem track is “Cosmic Woman,” which fails to make to good on the promise of its interesting title due to uninspired lyrics and a humdrum groove. Despite these inconsistencies, the album does manage to produce some strong tracks: the title track pays affectionate tribute to the band’s birthplace with a nice combination of carefully layered harmony vocals and a catchy tune full of pop hooks, while “Love Street” effectively layers exuberant horns over a forceful bassline to create an effective fusion of soul grooves and pop hooks. Fatback also scored an R&B chart hit with “Double Dutch,” which pits dance instructions against a pulsating groove to create another in the group’s long line of trademark dance-craze songs. In short, NYCNYUSA is too inconsistent for the casual track but offers a few worthwhile tracks that might please the Fatback fanatic. (All Music Guide -Donald A. Guarisco).

Isley Brothers - Brother, Brother, Brother

RIPPED ON MACINTOSH COMPUTER

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/931008eda4230f21161ea9de43dc7b26 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/274887/IsleyBrotherbrother.jpg)

Nice little record. Not the end of the world but one hell of a lot better than the derivative and substandard albums that the great Isley Brothers had been foisting on the public recently. Side one is absolutely fantastic to dance to (and if you're so fookin' cool that you can actually do the Click Clack already then this record might send you right on into the next World Age), while side two is alright to neck by.


The key to the album is the ubiquitous Carole King, whose three tunes are the backbone of the Isleys' current repertoire. "Brother, Brother," Carole's sequel to Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On," is almost precisely Carole's arrangement but with characteristic Isley popping rhythm, as is "Sweet Season." "Sweet Season" segues into an energetic Isley number, "Keep On Walking." Another Isley original, a canny synthesis of quotes from M. Gaye's "What's Happenin' Brother" and any six of C. King's tunes called "Work To Do," is pretty good, and leads into "Pop That Thang" a certifiable Isley boom boom WOP ass-shaker. "Lay Away," another original, is notable for its tricky high harmonies and sadly relevant lyrics.

If you're in the mood, turn the record over and listen to Carole King's "It's Too Late" stretched out and slowed down to ten minutes and 31 seconds, just as Al Green did with "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," only with decidedly greater histrionics. Another slow number, "Love Put Me on the Corner," fills out the side in the same easy way. It's a genuinely gorgeous song, co-written by the three Isley Brothers and their excellent pianist, Chris Jasper.

Brother, Brother, Brother is definitely the best R&B album to come along since Al Green's last, and the best general party album since Teenage Head. --STEPHEN DAVIS, Rolling Stone

The Isley Brothers - Inside You & The Real Deal (1981-1982/2007 Edit)
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/18958610.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=453&u=11645357)

Given the lukewarm reception to the predecessor "Grand Slam," "Inside You" and "The Real Deal" saw The Isley Brothers attempt to tweak their sound to a changing market. The result was arguably the two weakest albums of the 3+3 era.
I'll start with "Inside You," which had the Isleys prominently using string arrangements. Such a marriage of such diverse sounds (hard-chugging soul music and lush orchestral structures) bring to mind Barry White's experiements, and unfortunately that's what some of it felt like. "Baby Hold On" is a little too similar to the Michael McDonald-era Doobie Brothers sound to appreciate it, and "First Love" sounds like a Toto knockoff. "Welcome to My Heart" was just too sappy and while "Don't Hold Back Your Love" reminded me of the early '70s vocal groups it took too long for me to get into it. The biggest downfall with "Inside You" is not The Isley Brothers' efforts in experimenting with different sounds and textures, but the songs simply sound uninspired. The title track (the lead single) is the closest thing that would be considered an essential 3+3 era song and this was arguably the first album the group made that had you wondering what other track had the potential to become a hit song.
With "The Real Deal," the group went back to its definitive funk but with a little more emphasis on Chris Jasper's keyboards (and like with "Inside You," he was becoming more prominent on some of the background vocals). The sound of the early '80s was more synthesizer-driven, so the Isleys wanted to keep up. "Stone Cold Lover," "Are You with Me" and "It's Alright with Me" are examples of the colder, punctuated keyboard sound. With Jasper's vocals and the keyboard melodies on "It's Alright with Me," it particularly sounds like another Doobie Brothers-like track.
The downfall with the album is that the key elements of The Isleys' uptempo stuff had gotten stale to listeners after nine years of nonstop albums ("The Real Deal" was the 3+3 model's 11th album). Moreover, the album didn't exhibit the warmth and earthiness generally associated with their music. The only song that is a gem, IMO, is the ballad "All in My Lover's Eyes."
Given that the uptempo music scene had passed The Isleys by, the group moved toward the ballad-oriented music and reinvented themselves almost solely for the bedroom for the "Between the Sheets" album. If anything, these two albums signaled the end of The Isley Brothers as America's funky family. (Michael O. Johnson - Amazon)

Isley Brothers - Givin It Back
SOUL | FLAC | CUE | XACT LOG | 600DPI | 295MB | 41:54
T-Neck 1971

RIPPED ON MACINTOSH COMPUTER
WITH XACT IN PARANOID MODE

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/36155e2ff95c1d9735af2179eaff49fd (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/274916/IsleyGIB.jpg)

Givin' It Back is as much a time capsule as an album. Not that it can't be enjoyed on its own absolute musical terms by someone just off a boat who wasn't even around in 1971, but to really appreciate how daring it was and how delightful it is, that side of its history should be known. Those who are old enough should recall the time whence it came, an era in which hatred and disunity over the Vietnam War, civil rights, school desegregation, the environment, and a multitude of other issues were threatening what seemed, potentially, like the beginning of a new civil war, this one not between states but between factions and ethnic and racial groups in 1,000 individual neighborhoods. The opening cut of Givin' It Back, "Ohio/Machine Gun," is a slap-in-your-face reminder of just how angry the times and the people were. The track evokes instant memories of the campus bloodshed of 1970, not just at Kent State but also the often-forgotten killings a few days later at Jackson State University in Mississippi, where the victims of a fusillade of sheriff's deputies' bullets were black students. More than that, the track itself is also a reminder of the divisions that existed on the left; to listen to pundits on the right, the anti-war and civil rights movements, along with the counterculture, were all part of one vast, organized, calculated left-wing conspiracy. The truth is that there was nearly as big a split, culturally and politically, between young blacks and young whites on the left and on college campuses as there was anywhere else in the population. Blacks reacting to years of oppression had little use for mostly middle-class white college students, however sympathetic many of them purported to be to their situation, while well-meaning white students and activists couldn't begin to know what privation of the kind experienced by blacks and Hispanics in most American towns and cities was. In music, too, there was a lot of division; blacks usually didn't resonate to the top artists in the white world and, in particular, were oblivious to (and even resentful of) the adoration accorded Jimi Hendrix by the white community. So, when the Isley Brothers -- whose appeal among black audiences was unimpeachable -- opened Givin' It Back with a conflation of Neil Young's "Ohio" and Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun," they were speaking to anger and bloodshed in the streets, but they were also performing an act of outreach that was about as radical as any they could have committed on record in 1971. That they incorporated a prayer into their reformulation of the two songs, amid Ernie Isley's and Chester Woodard's guitar pyrotechnics, turned it into one of the most powerful and personal musical statements of its era, and it's worth the price of the album just for the one cut. Givin' It Back is filled with virtues of that kind, however; it was the first Isley Brothers album to rely entirely on outside material, but the group's reworkings of songs by James Taylor ("Fire and Rain") and Stephen Stills ("Love the One You're With") show no lack of originality. They're unafraid to take the song apart and rebuild it from the ground up, smoothing Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" into a sensual soul ballad, turning the James Taylor number into a sweaty, earnest shouter, and transforming War's "Spill the Wine" into an extended workout for voices, electric guitars (several layers deep), flute, and percussion. The album was also an early showcase for Bill Withers, whose funky blues "Cold Bologna" is covered by the group with the composer -- who was about to emerge as a major star in his own right -- on guitar. And the closer, "Love the One You're With," is sent soaring to heights that the Stephen Stills original could only gaze up at. Givin' It Back is often held at arm's length by soul listeners, who don't regard it as central to what the Isley Brothers or their music are about; on the contrary, the group is so successful at remaking all of the songs here their own in style and approach and sending careful messages (alas, largely lost with the passage of time) in their selection as well as their content, that it really represents a lot of what the Isley Brothers and soul music were about in 1971, and it's still great listening. Reissued in 1997 by Sony with new notes, and worth every cent of its list price. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

An obscure 80’s US dancefloor funk/disco band consisting of 7 members. They only released 1 self titled album in 1981 on Cotillion Records. Baby brothers album from 1981 contains mostly midtempo funk tracks.One well known tune is ‘You Asked For It (You Got It)’. An other killer is ‘Funky Situation’ a funkadelic/parlament kinda funk track with a groovy bass line.’Bad thing’ has a nice funky synth solo. ‘Saturday Night (And I’m Boogie Bound)’ is a typical funk track with lots of horns. The same for ‘You’ve Got Me Wanting You’. In short this album has fine funk tunes.

AMG Review:
With vocal interplay recalling the Temptations' work with Norman Whitfield and a jazzy instrumental sophistication equal to the Blackbyrds, 100% Pure Poison certainly deserve the notoriety that their lone recording has garnered them. As a group of American servicemen stationed in Germany in the '70s, it's amazing that the album was recorded at all. Leaving their base using a forged pass, the nine-piece group turned up at a music industry conference looking for a recording deal, and proving that the higher the risk involved, the greater the payoff, they got one with British EMI. Although Coming Right at You was largely overlooked at the time of its release in 1974, it never really faded away, consistently being revived and heralded as much for its rarity as its quality. Guitarist and group leader Danny Leake returned home to Chicago, where he has worked as an engineer and producer with a wide array of artists, including Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson. Coming Right at You was made widely available again when it was finally reissued by U.K. label Soul Brother.

Lakeside - Rough Riders [1979 - CD Edit Unidisc]

The second album from the nine-piece outfit did not have the smash hit like its predecessor Shot of Love, but it still has its bright spots. Though the group has multiple lead vocalists, the baritone of Mark Woods is commendable. The featured releases were “Pull My Strings” and “From 9:00 Until.” The former is an aggressively paced funk number. However, it does not retain that vibrant feeling for which the group is known. It peaked on the Billboard R&B charts at #31. The latter is also aggressive, but has a festive atmosphere more in line with the septet’s let’s-get-this-party-started image. Though it’s easily a Top Ten cut, it only managed to peak at #44. “If You Like Our Music” is a classic Lakeside number but was never released. This project also features two beautiful ballads in “I Can’t Get You Out of My Head” and “I’ll Never Leave You,” and the moderate number “All in My Mind.”(Craig Lytle – All Music Guide).

A disco club classic -- the second album from funky combo Ripple's -- and a record that's completely different than their first one! This set was recorded years after the group's first funky sides, and has Ripple sliding nicely into a disco group -- catching the Hotlanta sound of the south, and working with producer Floyd Smith in a tight style of underground disco that's got a heck of a lot more soul than the mainstream. Given the group's roots in funk, the instrumental component of the session is pretty darn tight -- and even though the pace is picked up from earlier years, Ripple still have a great way with a hook -- going for some very catchy grooves on titles that include "The Beat Goes On & On", a club classic -- plus "Sons of The Gods", "Do What You Wanna Do", "Here I Stand", "Call Me Traveling Man", and "Victorious". CD features a bonus radio mix of "The Beat Goes On & On".

Review

Great 80s grooving from Cheri -- a record that's much more upbeat than you'd guess from its Murphy's Law title! Everything goes right here -- from the catchy grooves, to the sweet keyboards, to the softly soulful vocals on the top -- a sound that's not the deepest soul you'll hear from the early 80s, but still pretty darn nice! Most tracks have a sweet 80s bounce -- a good dose of boogie in the mix -- and Geraldine Hunt had a hand in the recording, and you can definitely hear traces of her own music too. Titles include "So Sure", "Love Stew", "Sincerely", "Come With Me", "Give It To Me", "Star Struck", and "Murphy's Law".

Dusty Groove


Biography

Chéri is a female dance music duo from Montreal: Rosalind Hunt and Lyn Cullerier. In 1982 they had their only Hot 100 entry, "Murphy's Law," which hit #39. The song also hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and is widely remembered for its speed-up vocal chorus ("got it all together, dontcha baby"). Cullerier left the duo after their initial success and was replaced by Amy Roslyn from New Jersey. Hunt is the daughter of Geraldine Hunt (who had her own #1 dance hit in 1980 with "Can't Fake the Feeling") and the sister of singer Freddie James (who hit #5 on the dance chart in 1979 with "Get Up and Boogie").

Slave Featuring Steve Arrington – The Definitive Groove Collection [2006]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/frontb10.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=456&u=11645357)

The Definitive Groove Collection amounts, roughly, to a combination of two older Rhino compilations: 1994’s Stellar Fungk: The Best of Slave and 2003’s Party Lights: More of the Best. With a couple minor exceptions, it contains all of Slave’s charting singles (such as “Slide,” “Just a Touch of Love,” and “Watching You”) as well as several spectacular tracks that never hit the charts (“Party Lites,” “Steal Your Heart,” and “I’ll Be Gone,” just to name a handful). As with its predecessors, this two-disc set also contains some — but not all — of the notable material released by Steve Arrington and his Hall of Fame (“Feel So Real,” “Dancin’ in the Key of Life,” “Way Out”). Covering all the bases with Slave and its various spinoffs (Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame, Aurra, Young & Company, Starleana) within two discs would be impossible, but this is the most comprehensive and helpfully annotated Slave anthology released to date. (Andy Kellman – All Music Guide).

Tracks:
CD One:
01. Slide
02. The party song
03. Baby sinister
04. Stellar fungk
05. Just a touch of love

Review

A relatively recent set from Patti Austin, but a great one too -- an album that has her working in warmly jazzy arrangements that are much more restrained than her soul work of a few years before! There's a relaxed, easygoing feel to the set -- one that's somewhat smooth, as you might expect from Austin, but in a way that's a bit more indie than commercial -- most likely due to the Concord Records approach. Most numbers have keyboards alongside the vocals, but these are kept to the warmer side of the spectrum, and never overwhelm Patti's vocals too much. Arrangements are by Narada Michael Walden and Louis Kingpin Biancaniello -- and titles include "Do Si Doe In", "In & Out Of Love", "Don't Go Away", "Totally Unacceptable", "Once In A Lifetime", and "I Will Be There".

Dusty Groove



Biography by Ron Wynn

A professional since the age of five, Patti Austin was a protégé of Dinah Washington and Sammy Davis, Jr. A 1969 single for United Artists titled "Family Tree" cracked the R&B Top 50. Austin cut her debut LP, End of a Rainbow, for Creed Taylor's CTI label in 1976, followed by Havana Candy in 1977 and Body Language in 1980. She sang lead vocals for Japanese koto player Yutaka Yokokura on "Love Light" in 1978, did a duet with Michael Jackson on "It's the Falling in Love" for Off the Wall, and sang "The Closer I Get to You" on Tom Browne's album in 1979. Austin dueted with George Benson on "Moody's Mood for Love" in 1980. She sang backgrounds for sessions by Houston Person, Noel Pointer, Ralph McDonald, Angela Bofill, and Roberta Flack. Austin did vocals on Quincy Jones' The Dude LP in 1981, and was featured on the hit "Razzamatazz." She inked a solo deal on Jones' Qwest label, and her 1982 LP Every Home Should Have One included the number one pop hit (number nine R&B) "Baby, Come to Me," which got widespread exposure via the ABC soap opera General Hospital. The follow-up single, "How Do You Keep the Music Playing," was the theme for the film Best Friends. Both songs paired Austin with James Ingram. She continued recording for Jones' Qwest label through the '80s, but couldn't recapture her pop or R&B success, despite working with several top producers, including Jam-Lewis in 1985.

Austin switched to GRP in 1990 and recorded Love Is Gonna Getcha, with the singles "Through the Test of Time" and "Good in Love." She subsequently recorded Carry On and Live in 1991 and 1992. Street of Dreams followed in 1999 and On the Way to Love appeared in summer 2001. Her lovely tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, For Ella, appeared in spring 2002. Nearly five years later, Avant Gershwin was issued.

The Pockets - Golden Classics [1996]

A misleading title, while not “golden classics” these are the best of the Pockets’ — a self-contained band from Baltimore — brief run. A career harpooned by misfortune and the complicated dynamics of keeping an eight-piece band intact. Pockets’ sound was uplifting, lively, and vibrant; they were equally as adept on ballads, ups, mids, and straight jams. Their lead singer sounded like Lenny Williams, and pulsating rhythms, pumping horns, and honed backing vocals were their identifiers. The 19 songs represent a great overview and include “Come Go With Me,” their most successful record, along with picks like “So Delicious,” “In the Pocket,” “Elusive Lady,” and “One Day at a Time.” An interesting collection that never bores, no wonder Earth, Wind Fire took an interest in their career.

Know it was already posted. But the perfectionist in me made me post it again after checking the log and seeing that the TEST CRC and COPY CRC did not match. Not the MOST important aspect of making a perfect rip, but I had to at least try one more time. And this time lucked out and got a different disc from the library and it matched up.

Locksmith - Unlock The Funk [1980]

An obscure album of jazzy funk, produced by Harvey Mason, with a similar feel to some of his own work on Arista during the late 70s. The album has vocals on a numbers of cuts, in kind of a part ensemble funk mode that doesn't always work best for the group. Fortunately,there's some great moments that change the groove a bit -- like the mellow stepper "It's You", which eatures lead vocals by Stephanie Spruill -- and the sublime instrumentals "Blackjack" and "Cinnamon", both of which have a totally sweet jazzy groove that's got a great warm polish to it! (Includes the original inner sleeve. Cover has a promo sticker and a cut corner.) (Dusty Groove Inc.).

Tracks:
1. Unlock The Funk
2. BlackJack
3. Groove Town
4. It's You
5. Cinnamon
6. TMI
7. Don't Hurt Yourself
8. Someone Like You

Allmusic review:
Neneh Cherry, the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and rapstress who burst onto the scene in 1989 with the mega-hit "Buffalo Stance," did not even see the release of her third album, Man, in the United States. This set differs from her previous efforts in that there is absolutely no rap to be found anywhere on the disc, and all of the songs are slow-burning, mid-tempo alt-rock numbers, as opposed to anything remotely resembling dance or rap (though there are some hip-hop styled beats). There are really no immediate hits on this album, although it includes the international chart-topping duet with Youssou N'Dour, "7 Seconds," as well as several other highlights, including "Woman," "Hornbeam," and "Everything." Also included here is a tribute cover she recorded of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man." The album is a high-quality collection of alt-rock womens' anthems, at times bluesy, at times folksy, and much more akin to her previous rock-leaning effort Homebrew than her breakthrough Raw Like Sushi. The songs have an organic, earthy feel, in tune with the Lilith Fair alternative-style musical movement going on at the time. A good deal of alterna-sexual references are found, especially considering some of the song titles (first single "Kootchi" and "Beastiality," to mention two). A solid album, but definitely not very commercial. Still, it should have been given a chance in the U.S. market, especially given her previous track record.

You can buy stuff within the board. Or send gifts to your friends on the board. You can gamble at the casino or just play games. There are even ways to invest cash to make it grow. And in the bank, your money draws interest

Donald Fagen – The Nightfly (1982)

JAZZ | ROCK | BLUES | WAV | CUE | COVERS | 392 MB
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/39/2b/7e47228348a00b418537e010.L.jpg

Donald Fagen's 1982 solo debut extends the sleek, smart pop craft of his work with Steely Dan into the realm of the concept album, taking the Dan's penchant for intricate plotting, evocative narrative voices, and allusive imagery to the logical next step. Fagen's connective thread is futurist nostalgia for the "New Frontier" as anticipated from the prosperous vantage point of late-'50s America. He romanticises a brave new world of technology in the sultry diorama of "I.G.Y.", celebrating the coming glories of the Atomic Age. He then filters that view through his own suburban adolescence--a wouldmore…-be seduction in a fall-out shelter, the siren song of a graveyard-shift jazz DJ, a not-quite-hard-boiled noir adventure ("The Goodbye Look") that borrows its title from an early '60s Ross MacDonald mystery. Song for song, the set's a stunner and stands apart from Steely Dan thanks to a unique, poignant romanticism embodied in Fagen's yearning "Maxine" and a creamy update of Dion & the Belmonts' "Ruby Baby". --Sam Sutherland

Tom Browne - Love Approach

AMG Review:
When trumpeter Tom Browne hit the Billboard charts in 1980, one would have thought that he was an overnight sensation. However, the licensed pilot had several years under his belt working with Weldon Irvine, Sonny Fortune, and others. His debut smash single, "Funkin' for Jamaica (N.Y.)," took the music industry by storm. Between Browne's piercing horn intro and his chilling riffs in the vamp, the New York native and his cohorts lay down one jammin' groove. From the thunderous bass of Marcus Miller and Browne's trumpeting trips to the salacious vocals of Toni Smith and the colorful conversation referencing Browne, this single was slick and exhilarating. Smith co-wrote the song with Browne, which claimed the number one spot for four straight weeks. In addition to Toni Smith's outstanding vocals, Browne also employs vocalist Viki Sylva on the serene number "Weak in the Knees." Browne fills the vocal gaps in the verse and echoes Sylva in the chorus as she exudes a Michael Franks ambience. "Her Silent Smile," which features guitarist Bobby Broom and pianist Bernard Wright, who are also featured on "Funkin' for Jamaica," is reminiscent of Chuck Mangione. Aside from "Funkin' for Jamaica," the other selections are of the jazz vein. Browne does not try to redefine jazz or the trumpet; he just lays down some good music.

Cameo - Style [1983]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front210.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=460&u=11645357)

R&B was experiencing a year of transition in 1983. Soul music was evolving into urban contemporary, R&B producers were becoming increasingly high tech, and horn funk was losing ground to synth-funk and electro-funk. Also, the hip-hop factor could not be overlooked — some old-timers insisted that hip-hop was a passing fad, but younger R&B producers realized that rap was becoming the music of choice for many young African Americans and paid close attention to hip-hop production techniques. Inevitably, all of these things affected Cameo. Released in 1983, Style is more high-tech than 1979's Secret Omen or 1980's Cameosis but not as high-tech as 1985's Single Life or 1986's Word Up! It is also an LP that finds singer/producer Larry Blackmon leading a downsized Cameo — while the band had ten members at the start of the 1980s, it only has four on Style: Tomi Jenkins, Charles Singleton, Nathan Leftenant, and Blackmon himself. (And by Single Life in 1985, Cameo would only be a trio.) Having cut way back on the horns on Style, Blackmon makes sure that keyboards and synthesizers play a major role on snappy funk items like "Cameo's Dance," "Aphrodisiac," "Slow Movin'," and the hit title song. On Cameo's late-'70s albums, keyboards took a back seat to horns — on Style, it's just the opposite. Even on a remake of the standard "Can't Help Falling in Love" (a ballad that had been recorded by everyone from Elvis Presley to Doris Day), Cameo is more technology-minded. Style isn't among Cameo's essential albums, but it's an enjoyable effort that will appeal to die-hard fans. [Alex Henderson - All Music Guide]

N.E.R.D
In Search Of...
2002
FLAC

http://oophiphop.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/nerdinsearchof.jpg

N.E.R.D. are nothing if they're not clever, and they brilliantly constructed a back-story to accompany their debut album, In Search Of... As every rock critic in the Western world has said in his review of the album, they originally released the record in Europe, then decided it was crap, withdrew it, re-recorded it with a live band, and then released it worldwide. Now this story is probably true -- as the first album by the band driven by the powerhouse production team the Neptunes (though these are not interchangeable terms, as they went to great lengths to make clear in the promo interviews), there was a lot riding on this record, so it had better be right -- but it certainly helped them get valuable press, elevating this record to a near-event level. So, is In Search Of... worth the hoopla? Well, pretty much. Musically, it's a lively affair, breaking free of the signature approximated-Prince beats, as they borrow heavily from classic soul, breakbeat aesthetics, and postmodern alt-culture, tying it together with live beats. It pretty much deliberately does everything that most modern rap does not do, and it's hard not to embrace it for that very fact. Alas, there are flaws, mainly in the raps, which are hardly as nimble as the music; actually, they're rather clumsy and embarrassing, especially since they attempt to cover "socially relevant" issues (i.e., politicians are equated with strippers). Choruses that croon that "She needs me/Because I'm the sh*t" are hard to stomach, no matter how supple the music is (or how ironic the delivery), but if you can ignore that, In Search Of... does provide genuine musical thrills. Although, be forewarned -- it's easy to overrate this record simply because it deviates from the norm at a time when nobody deviates from the norm or has deviated from the norm in years. With better lyrics and a little less smirking hipsterism, it could have been the record it was intended to be, but as it stands, it's still a pretty terrific listen and one of the most adventurous, intriguing hip-hop albums in a long, long time.

Fatback - Man With The Band [1978]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front211.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=461&u=11645357)
Man With the Band finds Fatback stylistically treading water: While they are moving closer to the distinctive blend of funk and disco they would perfect on albums like Fired Up and Kickin' and XII, the tracks presented here lack the focus and distinctive hooks that made those albums work. The result is an album that grooves along without ever picking up a lot of steam. The epic title track that kicks off the album represents these problems: While it contains some hypnotic moments where the band's energy merges seamlessly with the song's handful of hooks, it ends up dragging because these magical moments are interspersed with too much aimless jamming. Other tracks are reasonably energetic throughout but lack the distinctive riffs or creative arrangements that would make them notable ("Master Booty" and "Funk Backin'"). There are also a couple of throwaways, the most notable one being "Zodiac Man," which tosses out some silly astrology-inspired lyrics over a repetitive, lightweight groove. Despite these problems, there are some moments that manage to gel in a memorable way: "Mile High" blends high harmony vocals and spacy synthesizer lines to create an engagingly jazzy dance tune and "Midnight Freak" carefully molds its relentless groove into a tight arrangement that makes it a strong mid-tempo jam with a memorably sultry atmosphere. In the end, Man With the Band has enough strong moments to make it a worthwhile purchase for disco fanatics but isn't consistent enough to keep the casual listener interested. [Donald A. Guarisco].

Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue [Legacy Edition]
JAZZ | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | TIFF ART | 2CD | 2:01:23 | 690MB
Columbia/Legacy 1959 (2009 Reissue)

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/2ef0b1870149fc38fe7a8d4f1bda5a57 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/278179/M.DavisKOBlegacy.jpg)

The 50th Anniversary Legacy Edition of Kind of Blue is a pared down version of the Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition, that was released by Sony in September of 2008. The earlier version contained both of the CDs included here, a deluxe DVD, and an LP in an extravagant -- and limited -- package. For those who've purchased some other edition of Kind of Blue over the last decade, the debate over whether to purchase this one will come down to how big a jazz fan you are. There have been numerous editions of this set issued on CD. This one is definitive -- insofar as we know -- in that it not only contains the album in gloriously warm remastered sound, it also features the complete studio sessions with a total of over two hours of false starts, alternate takes, dialogue, and studio sequences. All of this is on disc one. Disc two contains five tunes recorded in the studio by this sextet ten months earlier (May 26, 1958) that were not featured on Kind of Blue. The other bonus cut is a walloping 17-and-a-half minute live version of "So What," recorded by Miles with Coltrane, Wynton Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb at a gig in Holland in 1960. This track has only appeared on bootlegs in the past and this is its first authorized release. If you are content with simply owning Kind of Blue without all the other documented material, go no further. If you purchased the Collector's Edition this will offer you nothing you don't already have in better form. If, however, you found yourself not rich enough to purchase that edition and would still love to own the complete studio session of a documented jazz classic, this is the way to go. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Review

On the CD "Different Lifestyles," the writing, production and vocals of BeBe & CeCe Winans reached a new plateau. Their third collaboration with producer Keith Thomas (of Amy Grant's "Heart in Motion" and "House of Love" fame) was filled to the rim with catchy hooks, spotless arrangements and soaring, soulful vocals. It even worked as a crossover of sorts: singles like "Depend on You" and "Addictive Love," while intended to sing the praises of God, could certainly be played from friend to friend or even lover to lover; with this album BeBe & CeCe gave new meaning to the concept that music should be universal. The title track is an eloquent musing of a humble, flawed human trying to meet God's expectations in a modern world, and a remake of the Staple Singers' hit "I'll Take You There" (featuring a cameo by Mavis Staples) is nothing short of breathtaking. Even when BeBe & CeCe sing about trying times (on "It's Ok" and the stunning "You Know and I Know") the lyrics convey a bright ray of hope amidst drop-dead gorgeous musical arrangements. And for instant sunshine and optimism, look no further than the happy pop shuffle of "Can't Take This Away," a song whose spirit is boosted with a full-bodied testament by the Calvary Choir. Throughout all of its production strengths BeBe & CeCe give some of the most soulful and joyous performances of their careers. This is one of those rare albums that succeeds within its genre and still invites fans from outside of it. Recorded in 1991, the only sign of dating itself is a guest rap by MC Hammer (on the funkfest "The Blood"); otherwise this immaculate and moving album -at once a portrait of a duo at the height of their artistry and a textbook for incomparable pop/soul production- is a timeless classic.

Biography by William Ruhlmann

Detroit-born brother and sister BeBe (Benjamin) and CeCe (Priscilla) Winans are part of the gospel-singing Winans family that also includes the Winans, their four brothers. As a duo, BeBe & CeCe maintain the gospel message, although their records have the production values and style of contemporary R&B. They released their debut album, BeBe & CeCe Winans, in 1987 and scored a moderate hit (number 49) on the R&B charts with the single "I.O.U. Me" scoring on the R&B and adult contemporary charts. This earned them three Grammy nominations and one award (gospel). Their second album, Heaven, came in 1988 and found them scoring three R&B hits with the title track, "Lost Without You," and "Celebrate Life." The album reached the R&B Top Ten (number 95 in the pop chart) and went gold. 1991's platinum-selling Different Lifestyles was their biggest hit yet, topping the R&B album chart and featuring the R&B number ones "Addictive Love" and "I'll Take You There."

Review:
An excellent album of modern soul from the early 80s -- with a smooth sweet style that should have made these guys a huge act at the time! The overall groove reminds us of some of the most successful 70s vocal groups -- especially some of the Philly groups, like The O'Jays or the Spinners after they started working in the City Of Brotherly Love -- but there's also plenty of 80s elements too, especially in the keyboards, basslines, and rhythms of the set. Yet none of these elements has the colder feel of the 80s groove generation -- and the whole thing comes across with a great sense of warmth that really matches the vocals, but still knows how to find a groove! Titles include "Bizzaar", "What Can I Do About This Feeling", "Tonight's Gonna Be My Night", "Overtime", and "Give It Up".

War - Peace Sing [1994]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/frontf10.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=462&u=11645357)

When War reunited in 1994 and recorded Peace Sign -- their first album since 1983's Life (Is So Strange), the band's sound hadn't changed very much. Instead of going high-tech and trying to appeal to urban contemporary tastes, the influential Angelenos continued to offer the type of slow and relaxed yet gritty soul and funk they'd been playing 20 years earlier. The results is a decent album that's hardly in a class with All Day Music, The World Is a Ghetto or Why Can't We Be Friends?, but it has its moments. War had long commanded an intensely devoted following in the Mexican-American community, and it's hard to miss the Latin influence on such enjoyable numbers as "Wild Rodriguez" (a fun ode to the "low rider" or "vato loco" culture) and "East L.A." The CD's strongest offering, however, is "Homeless Hero," a poignant and rightly angry reflection on homeless Vietnam veterans. But despite its strong points, Peace Sign is an album that only War's more devoted followers should invest in -- more casual listeners would be much better off with a collection of the band's '70s recordings.[Alex Henderson-All Music Guide].

Review

After a long career hiatus, Jon Lucien made a near-perfect comeback with this gorgeous CD. My personal favorites are "Sweet Control", "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "You Take My Breath Away"--all of which are very much reminiscient of the superb material found on his RCA and Columbia LPs of the 1970s. If you like the music of such great romantic Soul singers as Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson, Peabo Bryson, Keith Washington and Will Downing then you really should also check out Jon Lucien (you won't be disappointed). Smooth, soulful and seductive ballads from a vocalist whose early recordings helped define the Quiet Storm "Sound".

Amazon.com Reviewer, Justo Roteta



Biography by Jason Ankeny

Dubbed "the man with the golden throat" by Herbie Hancock, Jon Lucien was the premier crooner of the fusion era — blessed with a deep, velvety voice ideally matched to romantic ballads, his sophisticated amalgam of soul, light jazz, and Caribbean rhythms never enjoyed commercial success commensurate with the esteem afforded him by critics and peers alike.

Despite contributions from an abundance of soul-jazz greats including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Owens, and Garnett Brown, VIRGO RED is the most stripped-down and nuanced of Roy Ayers’s Ubiquity LPs. Its sinuous funk grooves are first and foremost a showcase for the intuitive interplay of Ayers and electric keyboardist Harry Whitaker, whose Fender Rhodes fill-ins orbit Ayers’s vibes solos like a planet circling the sun. The material is a crazy quilt of righteously soulful originals and deeply funky covers spanning Leroy Hutson’s soul classic “Giving Love” to Stories’ soft-pop smash “Brother Louie” to absolute treacle like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE’s “The Morning After"--by all rights it shouldn’t work, but as the astrological overtones winding through VIRGO RED attest, sometimes the stars align. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

AMG Review:
Much like Prince in the 1980s, George Clinton had a long list of disciples in the late '70s. Clinton's p-funk empire wasn't only Parliament/Funkadelic, it also included Bootsy's Rubber Band, Fred Wesley & the Horny Horns, and two female groups: Parlet and the Brides of Funkenstein. The latter recorded two albums in the late '70s, the first of which is the good to excellent Funk or Walk. In addition to producing or co-producing everything on the LP, Clinton co-wrote most of the material. So not surprisingly, Funk or Walk tends to be very Clinton-flavored. But the record is surprisingly diverse, and Clinton keeps things unpredictable. "Birdie," "Amorous," and the infectious opener "Disco to Go" (which Clinton wrote and produced with Bootsy Collins) are all very Parliament-like, but the jazz-influenced "Nappy" isn't unlike something Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band would have done. The melancholy "Just Like You" is a conventional soul ballad, and the glossy "When You're Gone" would have been appropriate for a Silver Convention album. On Funk or Walk, the Brides' two-woman lineup consists of Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry, both demonstrating that they have no problem handling the variety of things that Clinton sends their way.

AMG Review:
Produced by George Duke, Don't Stop was the second in a trio of mid-'80s gold albums from Jeffrey Osborne that included Stay With Me Tonight and Emotional. The title track was a slab of upbeat '80s rock/pop that successfully broke Osborne out of the ballad mold going. Its follow-up, "Borderlines," written by keyboardist Raymond Jones (Chic, Whitney Houston, State of Art), made it to number seven R&B, number 38 pop in late 1984. The tender ballad "Crazy 'Bout Cha" received massive radio play as an album track and remains the singer's most underrated recording. The X-Files' Mulder and Scully might play the upbeat UFO-themed "You Can't Be Serious" on their car stereo. The charting single "Let Me Know" is in the mode of Osborne's previous smooth hits. "Don't Stop" and "Borderlines" are on his Ultimate Collection.

Biography by Andy Kellman

Kleeer was a New York-based disco/funk group headed by drummer, arranger, songwriter, and vocalist Woody Cunningham. The group — fleshed out by vocalist/percussionist Paul Crutchfield, guitarist Richard Lee, and bassist Norman Durham — formed in 1972 as the backing group for the Choice 4. Two years later, they broke off on their own and changed their name to the Jam Band. For a brief period, the Jam Band backed up Disco Tex & the Sex-O-Lettes for touring purposes and even appeared with the group on the TV program The Midnight Special.

Another change came in 1975, when the Jam Band changed names again to Pipeline. The switch reflected the quartet's decision to become a hard rock band. A number of major labels balked on signing the group, but Columbia picked them up and released a single ("Gypsy Rider") that didn't fare well commercially.

Pipeline was confronted with the bizarre opportunity to become the Universal Robot Band in 1976. Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, underground disco legends with skills in all departments of record-making, had released a single under that name — but there really was no proper band. Pipeline decided to become the Universal Robot Band and recorded and toured under that name until 1978. The quartet's desire to become self-sufficient again resulted in their defection.

Re-named Kleeer, Cunningham, Crutchfield, Lee, and Durham became a funk band with dance floor leanings. The first song they cut as Kleeer, "Keeep Your Body Workin'," was liked by Atlantic enough to be included on a compilation. The response from DJs was overwhelmingly positive and resulted in a recording contract. (Ironically, Atlantic had rejected the group when they were Pipeline.) Between 1979 and 1985, the group released seven albums for the label and frequented the R&B charts with a series of minor hits. Three songs cracked the Top 40 — 1979's "Tonight's the Night (Good Time)" (#33), 1980's "Winners" (#23), and 1981's "Get Tough" (#15). Nine others entered the R&B chart. Despite never becoming major players in the U.S., they were able to cultivate a rabid cult following in the U.K.

Kleeer disappeeered after the 1985 album Seeekret; Atlantic capped off the group's prolific run the following year with Kleeer Winners: The Best of Kleeer. The group re-appeared briefly in the ‘90s; most members remained active session musicians long after the group's dissolution, and Cunningham went on to record into the 2000s as a solo artist. Kleeer's recordings have long since become a source for several rap hits, including 2Pac's "California Love," and DJ Quik's "Tonight."

On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson collapsed at his rented mansion at 100 North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills district of Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were unsuccessful. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics received a 911 call at 12:22 p.m. (PDT), arriving three minutes later at Jackson's location. He was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed. Resuscitation efforts continued en route to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and for an hour after arriving there at 1:13 p.m. (20:13 UTC). He was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. local time (21:26 UTC). Jackson was buried on September 3, 2009, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Cameo - Cameosis [1980]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front212.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=463&u=11645357)

The big single on Cameosis, the stimulating "Shake Your Pants," provokes body moves from the animated group vocals to the rump-shakin' groove. The vivacious number "We're Going out Tonight" is a man's salute to his lady. Larry Blackmon and Tomi Jenkins sing in unison throughout the body of the song, with first tenor Wayne Cooper soaring in the vamp. The group puts a different twist on a remake of their own "Why Have I Lost You." Tomi Jenkins imparts a compassionate rap in the intro before crooning his way through the imaginative lyric, where Wayne Cooper reaches one climax after another. Like the original version, it, too, never graced the charts but found a home on radio. The sleeper on this album is "I Care for You." Anthony Lockett took the vocal lead on this tear-jerking ballad, in which a man tolerates his woman's questionable behavior. From Lockett's execution to the song's overall arrangement, this is a must-listen. [Craig Lytle - All Music Guide]

N'Dambi - Pink Elephant

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/750d4992039cc926526c0658a4aedd01 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/281152/NDambeePE.jpg)

N'dambi may be a protege of the celebrated neo-soul artist Erykah Badu, but don't think she resides musically in the shadow of her mentor. This Dallas native is a classic soul singer who arguably has more in common musically with the Jacksons, Smokey Robinson and Isaac Hayes. On her major label debut, "Pink Elephant," N'dambi takes the lessons from traditional R&B and soul and mixes in just enough urban grit and sensuality to make the sound contemporary. The 12 tracks on the CD are written as short stories that tell age-old tales about personal struggles. Don't listen for the whimpering wronged woman in these tunes, though, because you won't find her.

N'dambi writes songs that center on empowered women confronting adversity and working to set it right. Consider "Take It Out." N'dambi's soulful, emotionally charged vocals tell the story of a woman who fights to correct flaws in a tightly wound relationship that is close to unraveling. Instrumentation is carefully woven around her vocals, keeping it crisp and bold. The same can be heard on the '80s-pop-influenced tune "L.I.E." and the jazz-tinged "Can't Hardly Wait." This is one "Pink Elephant" fans of classic R&B and soul won't want to miss. -- Nancy Dunham, Washington Post

AMG Review:
Dropping the Parliament-esque, Mothership-era theatrics, and the multitude of bandmembers that comprised 1981's Knights of the Sound Table tour, Cameo's Larry Blackmon scaled the band back to a less financially prohibitive number and returned to the studio to record what would be the band's last effort for longtime label Chocolate City. The mighty Alligator Woman, released in spring 1982, marked the quintet's final foray into the annals of the deep funk that had signposted much of their material so far. A continuation, but extension of the otherworldly synthesis which blended old-school sounds with new technology, the LP emerged a peerless hybrid, giving Cameo another Top Ten hit for their collection. Both "Be Yourself" and "Soul Army" are deep slabs of funk, heavily steeped in the band's own past, with the former driven by harmonized vocals and groovy guitar, and the latter dominated by Blackmon's distinctive vocals. Elsewhere, the lively "Flirt," a Top Ten hit, is a sassy exercise in tricky pop, while the title track proves a heady mix of all of the above. Included, too, are the less interesting ballads "Secrets of Time" and "For You" but, despite such occasional stumbles, Alligator Woman was a remarkably cohesive and energetic outing for the new-look band. It also proved a perfect bridge for the gap between the antics of Knights and Cameo's forthcoming exploits, later in the decade.

Review

A reissue of Dimples' first album originally released in 1981. Nicknamed because he has two prominent, deep dimples, the late Louisiana-born, Oakland, CA-raised singer sung in an extra low voice that worked with the right material but sounded incredibly weak on mismatches. The material fit like a glove on this release that includes his first smash "She's Got Papers on Me," a fine update of the Penquins' "Earth Angel," and the humorous "I've Got to Learn to Say No" where he laments about all his women and his ability to turn down new desires.

All Music Guide, Andrew Hamilton



Biography by Ed Hogan

Eighties soft-toned vocalist Richard "Dimples" Fields topped the R&B charts with the world weary-toned mid-tempo groover "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another" with its everyman spoken section. Fields is also known for "She's Got Papers on Me," a radio-aired track from his Dimples LP (issued as a promotion-only single), which featured a harpy-ish monologue by Betty Wright

Real Thing - Step Into Our World [1978]

This Liverpool-based group had its origins in the Mersey boom. Lead singer Eddie Amoo was a former member of the Chants, whose excellent beat singles garnered considerable praise. Although they failed to chart, the Chants continued to record for various labels until the name was ultimately dropped. The Real Thing emerged in 1976 with “You To Me Are Everything”, which reached number 1 in the UK. Their next release, “Can’t Get By Without You” continued their brand of commercial sweet-soul, but later singles were less successful until a more forthright performance in 1979 with the Star Wars-influenced “Can You Feel The Force”, took the group back into the Top 5, establishing their popularity with the UK disco audience. Subsequent material fared less well, although remixes of those first two hits charted 10 years after their initial release. (www.nme.com)
Album first released as “Step Into Our World” and after that re-released as “Can You Feel The Force” with the same track listing, except for a longer version of the song “Can You Feel The Force?” on the re-release. Note the wrong playing time of “Can You Feel The Force?” on this release. Probably a pressing shortly before the re-release.(www.discogs.com)

1. Whatcha Say, Whatcha Do
2. Lady, I Love You All The Time
3. Rainin’ Through My Sunshine
4. Can You Feel The Force?

Ray Parker Jr. - The Other Woman [1982]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front213.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=464&u=11645357)
After three prosperous albums with Raydio, Parker branches out on his own with a successful debut solo release. Not forsaking the sound that spawned a string of hits with Raydio, Parker chalks up two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, the first being "The Other Woman." With its midtempo rhythm and striking electric guitar, it crested at the number two position for four consecutive weeks, fizzling out after week 19; it also reached the number four spot on the Billboard pop charts. While "Let Me Go," the second release, was a ballad of sorts, it also held a spot on the charts for 19 weeks, peaking at number three. As usual, Parker interjects his vocal sighs on nearly every song, and the third single release, "It's Our Own Affair," is no exception -- a midtempo track with an easy-flowing rhythm that reached the 44th position on the charts. The remainder of the album is consistent with the aforementioned releases. The veteran session guitarist does not stray from his musical base; he keeps his compositions simple and production efficient. (Craig Lytle - All Music Guide).

Not the LP (Strike It Up-1982), but has all the original songs on the album. So I bought it.
This New York group had some disco/club hits in the early '80s for Prelude. Drummer Milton Brown, bassist Willie Slaughter, keyboardist Howie Young, guitarist Robert Gilliom, saxophonist Darryl Gibbs, and lead vocalist Ruben Faison had their first success with "Body Music" in 1981. It reached the R&B Top 30. The follow-up, "Inch by Inch," flopped, but the Strikers' single "Contagious," in 1982, was another club winner. Brown eventually became Warp 9's lead singer.

Smoking work from Donald Byrd — post-Blue Note, post-Larry Mizell, and with a modern funk groove that’s still pretty darn tasty! Not one to rest on his laurels — which he could have easily done with endless Mizell-based recordings — Donald shifts his groove here towards more of a boogie-styled 80s approach — one that’s got the same sort of loping funk that was showing up in the work of Tom Browne and some of the younger players on the scene at the time. There’s a fuller, richer, more soul-based approach to the set — but still some strands of the Mizell years — especially in the album’s great keyboard work by Clare Fischer, and its use of chorus vocals on a number of tracks. Wade Marcus and George Bohannon helped with arrangements. [DGA, Inc]

http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/%A5Artist%20GIF%20Images/Natural%20Four.jpg

With songs like... "You Bring Out The Best In Me", "Can This Be Real", "Try Love Again", "You Can't Keep Running Away", the Natural Four clearly had the vocal chops to stand toe to toe with many of the contemporary groups of their time, i.e., The Stylistics, Blue Magic, ChiLites, and many others of that time period.

Originally signed to the late Curtis Mayfield's Curtom record label, these four talented gents did/do not disapoint. You owe it to yourself to give this album a listen, Bravo to Charly Records for re-releasing(ICHIBAN Records previously)this truly gem of a record.

The Whispers – Love Is Where You Find It [1981]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front216.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=467&u=11645357)

Released after This Kind of Lovin’, Love Is Where You Find It finds the group continuing its hitmaking style and boasts the production work of Leon F. Sylvers III and the Solar sound. While the group’s albums were never necessities, like the Temptations or to a lesser extent the Dramatics, the worth of the ballads and dance tracks often made the Whispers worth seeking out. Love Is Where You Find It is no exception. The album’s biggest hits — the polished and kinetic “In the Raw” and “Emergency” — quickly joined the pantheon of Whispers dance classics. The near-brilliant “Turn Me Out” arguably beats them both for sheer sonic value and the witty lyrics. Unlike many of the Whispers’ albums of the time, the ballads here diminish the set. The radio staple “Say Yes” may be too smooth and cloying even for Whispers devotees. Love Is Where You Find It isn’t an especially strong album,but “Turns Me Out” makes it worth looking for. (Jason Elias – All Music Guide).

Donald Byrd – Thank You … For F.U.M.L. (Funking Up My Life) [1978]
http://i94.servimg.com/u/f94/11/64/53/57/front217.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=468&u=11645357)
This album was Byrd’s debut for Elektra/Asylum and a return to the charts after the demise of Blue Note Records. After taking a brief hiatus from recording, Byrd got right back in the business of commercial jazz/R&B while the purists again recoiled in horror. During the ’70s, he was one of the leaders at making intelligent, R&B-based jazz with high selling albums, Black Byrd and Places And Spaces, both produced by Larry Mizell and Fonce Mizell. Thank You…For F.U.M.L. (Funking Up My Life) has Byrd producing himself, taking disco much too seriously and straying too far from his jazz roots. Although this does feature his 125th Street Orchestra, which included Wah Wah Watson, Ed Watkins, and Gregory Phillinganes, they paled in comparison to his 1972-1975 bands. The disco-fied “In Love With Love” isn’t even suited for Byrd’s trumpet blaring in the background. The other dance tracks, “Have You Heard the News?” and the title track, almost take a scientific approach to disco, and to that end there’s little spontaneity. Byrd did much better with the melodically challenging songs on the album. Tracks like the assured “Your Love Is My Ecstasy” and the sharp, mid-tempo “Loving You” has him animated and playing recondite and rewarding notes. By the album’s last song, “Close Your Eyes and Look Within,” it’s clear that the relative lightweight nature of Thank You…For F.U.M.L. (Funking Up My Life) wasn’t going to bring out the best in him or the listener. (Jason Elias – All Music Guide).

Patrice Rushen - Pizzazz (1979)

When Patrice Rushen was being lambasted by jazz snobs for making the switch from jazz instrumentalist to R&B/pop singer, she was also winning over quite a few people. R&B fans didn’t care if she was no longer playing long, improvised piano solos with Joe Henderson or Hubert Laws; they loved her singing, and couldn’t have cared less what jazz snobs thought of her new direction. Rushen’s profile in the R&B world continued to increase with Pizzazz, her second album for Elektra and fifth overall. The song that did the most to make this LP a success was “Haven’t You Heard?,” a gem of a single that soared to the top of R&B radio play lists and was among Rushen’s biggest hits. Many listeners bought Pizzazz because of “Haven’t You Heard?,” and they quickly discovered that the rest of the album was also excellent. Drawing on such influences as Earth, Wind & Fire, Minnie Riperton, Stevie Wonder, and the Emotions, Rushen has no problem holding an R&B lover’s attention with treasures that include the funky opener “Let the Music Take Me,” the soulful ballad “Settle for My Love,” and the perky “Keepin’ Faith in Love.” Pizzazz might have received tongue-lashings from jazz critics, but from an R&B/pop perspective, it’s among Rushen’s most rewarding and essential albums.(All Music G.- Alex Henderson).

Review

"Music," the first song and lead single from Leela James' first album, bemoans the death of music. She reminisces about Aretha, Gladys, Tina, and Chaka, and asks, "Can we just put the thongs away?" Her argument is flawed and tired. All four inspirations released new material during the early 2000s, and James is the latest in an extended line of artists, stretching from American Idol to any anonymous keyboard lounge on the East Coast, claiming to rescue real music. James should turn off BET and go to a record store: issue solved. The remainder of A Change Is Gonna Come — named after the Sam Cooke song, covered here — isn't nearly as nauseating, thankfully enough, even if it retains a nostalgic tint. James has the stature of a woman who should possess a squeaky voice, but she sings with demonstrative grit. More importantly, she doesn't see her inspirations merely as artists to mimic; she sees how they learned from the past and applied it to the present. The past is built upon (if only a little), rather than simply revisited. Kanye West, Raphael Saadiq, Chucky Thompson, and James Poyser are in on the action, giving James the kind of apt support she could've only imagined prior to recording the album. There's plenty of thematic range, whether there are blue lights in the basement, tears on the pillow, sweat on the dancefloor, or sun showers on the porch. Hopefully listeners won't hear all those names during "Music" and get the idea to listen to Lady Soul or Ask Rufus instead.

All Music Guide, Andy Kellman



Biography by Andy Kellman

Like almost all other musicians hit with the neo-soul tag, the primary inspirations of Leela James — a gritty-voiced singer and songwriter born in Los Angeles, CA — dated no later than the late '70s; Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, and Tina Turner were regularly cited. Her debut album, very much a throwback affair, involved assistance from a range of noted studio rats from the fields of rap and R&B, including Kanye West, Raphael Saadiq, James Poyser, Chucky Thompson, and Wyclef Jean. The album, titled A Change Is Gonna Come (a definite reference to Sam Cooke), was released in late June of 2005 and peaked just outside the Top 40 of Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart. Despite poor sales, the album fared well enough to earn James nominations for the 2006 Soul Train Music Awards and the same year's NAACP Image Awards. After splitting from Warner Bros., the singer landed on Shanachie and recorded one of the label's more inspired all-cover sets, Let's Do It Again, released in March 2009.

Review

Though start-up label Hidden Beach and its manufacturer/distributor Sony may have been hoping for another Lauryn Hill in this eloquent young African-American from a Middle Atlantic state, Jill Scott turns out to be something of a hip-hop Patti Smith, a street poet who, on her first album, hasn't quite made the transition from spoken word performances to music, despite an excellent singing voice. With any luck, she will retain her sense of the power of words, since the best parts of this album are the ones when she lets fly, drunk on her verbal virtuosity. Producer Jeff Townes (of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince fame) and his team of associates from the A Touch of Jazz production company set up sympathetic musical backgrounds for Scott that support her without requiring her to fit her spoken and sung excursions into strict meter. That gives her range to pursue her interests, which include a strong sense of her north Philadelphia neighborhood and such idiosyncratic concerns as food, with many meals listed in detail. But the album has a story to tell, and for the most part it is a love story. Scott describes a relationship from many different angles, including an encounter with her boyfriend's ex in a super market ("Exclusively") and her warnings to that girl (or some other) to stay away ("Gettin' in the Way"). She also breaks painfully from an old boyfriend in favor of the new one ("I Think It's Better"), but mostly she celebrates the relationship ("A Long Walk," "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)," "It's Love," "The Way"). But with "Honey Molasses," things turn sour, and on "Love Rain" and "Slowly Surely," she frees herself, concluding that "One Is the Magic #" and toward the end of the album moving on to social concerns with "Watching Me" and "Brotha." This narrative structure gives Scott ample room to express a variety of emotions and to display her "verbal elation." Like many poets, she sometimes delights in a torrent of words for their own sake, but it's hard to fault her when the result is such a fully articulated world view. There is no existing slot in R&B/hip-hop into which this album fits, which only means a new one will have to be created. (The CD marks a new complexity in the use of bonus and hidden tracks. After the 17th track, "Show Me," there are 26 four-second blank tracks, followed by a 44th track, the bonus song, "Try." One minute after this song ends, there is a hidden selection, an alternate version of "Love Rain" that features Mos Def.)

All Music Guide, William Ruhlmann



Biography by Andy Kellman & William Ruhlmann

A mature R&B vocalist who excelled most with slower, sensual material ("Slowly, Surely," "I'm Not Afraid," "My Love") and was versatile enough to pack plenty of punch with anthems of pride and self-empowerment ("Golden," "Family Reunion," "Hate on Me"), Jill Scott grew up in north Philadelphia and began her performing career reading her own poetry. She was heard by Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, drummer in the Roots, who invited her to join the band in the studio, resulting in the co-composition "You Got Me," a 1999 Top 40 pop hit that actually featured Erykah Badu instead of Scott herself. Subsequently, she collaborated with Eric Benet, Will Smith, and Common, and broadened her performing experience by touring Canada in a production of the Broadway musical Rent.

Patrice Rushen - Posh [1980]
http://i14.servimg.com/u/f14/11/64/53/57/front210.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=469&u=11645357)
Patrice Rushen entered the 1980s on a high note with Posh, her third album for Elektra and sixth album overall. By that time, it seemed unlikely that Rushen would become a full-time jazz instrumentalist again -- she was enjoying too much success as an R&B/pop singer. And sure enough, it wasn't until 1997's Signature on Discovery that she recorded another instrumental album under her own name. When Posh came out in 1980, jazz's loss appeared to be R&B's gain. If you were a jazz lover, it was frustrating to see Rushen -- a talented improviser with a healthy appreciation of Herbie Hancock -- neglecting jazz. But if you loved sleek, sophisticated R&B/pop, you couldn't help but savor Posh and get into such offerings as the exuberant, Emotions-influenced "Look Up!," the vulnerable, slightly Stevie Wonder-ish "I Need Your Love," and the infectious "The Funk Won't Let You Down." Meanwhile, "Time Will Tell" has a bit of a rock edge and may very well be the most rock-influenced tune Rushen has ever recorded. Posh is enthusiastically recommended to anyone with a taste for late 1970s and early 1980s R&B. [Alex Henderson-All Music Guide].

Review

Listening to a Sade album is like wearing an Armani suit: it's stylish and impeccably tailored, but it won't look foolish in six months. In other words, the band's music is elegant yet able to survive passing trends and fads. Their second release, "Promise," may be the best. Fusing jazz and pop with a dash of r&b, "Promise" is the personal journey of a broken heart and a bruised soul. It bleeds with emotion, and it captivates the listener through its refined and understated grace. Sade Adu won't go down as a singer with tremendous range, but she sure uses the best of what she's got. We can both hear and feel Sade's longing in the excellent opener "Is it a Crime," in which Ms. Adu can't seem to shake the man who once loved her. She also runs the gamut of emotions from affection ("The Sweetest Taboo") to longing ("Maureen") and pain ("War of the Hearts"). But the track that makes me stop EVERYTHING is the have-your-Kleenex-ready breakup number "You're Not the Man." With the assistance of Stuart Matthewman's pained saxophone, Sade wakes up and realizes that she no longer can connect with the man she loved for so long. I think this may be my favorite Sade song ever. "Promise" is simply a work of class done to near-perfection. In fact, Sade is one of the reasons why I can't warm up to jazz pop upstarts like Norah Jones. The latter singer is an able, but unexceptional, singer whose material suffers from milquetoast production and too many contrivances. But Sade gives you the real deal, straight from the gut. "Promise" still has the juice after all these years and it comes highly recommended. It's one of the best records money can buy.

With the proliferation of new music technology, Parker seizes the moment to incorporate some of it on selections like “Electronic Lover,” “Invasion” and “N2U2.” These are merely experimental endeavors.The highest-charted single on this album was the midtempo “I Still Can’t Get Over Loving You,” which peaked at #12 on the Billboard R&B charts following an 18-week run. It was succeeded by two lesser-achieving singles: “In the Heat of the Night,” (#64, five weeks) and “Woman Out of Control.” The latter is a frail, yet danceable effort; it still maneuvered its way onto the Billboard R&B charts for a brief visit at #71 for four weeks. The former allows Parker to artistically express his trademark moan-and-groan appeal. Selections like “I Don’t Wanna Know” and “She Still Feels the Need” never made the charts, but are a good listen.(Craig Lytle – All Music Guide).

Patrice Rushen – Straight From The Heart [1982]
http://i14.servimg.com/u/f14/11/64/53/57/fronti10.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=471&u=11645357)
An early-’80s jazz-pop-R&B synthesis as durable and pleasing as any other, Straight from the Heart was Patrice Rushen’s most successful album, at least from a sales standpoint: it peaked at number 14 on the pop chart, 25 slots higher than 1980’s Pizzazz. Still working with a core group of associates — including Freddie Washington, Charles Mims, Paul M. Jackson, and Marlo Henderson (along with a still young Gerald Albright) — that went back to her earlier Elektra albums, the material here is as slick as ever, but not at the expense of lighter rhythms or less memorable melodies. Much of the album’s popularity can be attributed to the club hit “Forget Me Nots,” Rushen’s most-known single — a breezy, buoyant mixture of handclaps, fingersnaps, twisting bass, and Rushen’s typically blissful (and not overplayed) electric piano, not to mention the incorporation of a bad bass-and-percussion breakdown. (If you were born after the mid-’70s or so, you’d be more likely to recognize the song as the basis of Will Smith’s “Men in Black.”) Beyond a forgettable ballad or two, the only disappointment is the Brenda Russell collaboration on “Breakout!,” where rock affectations (gnarling electric guitar, grimacing vocal tactics that suit neither Rushen nor Russell) damage what could’ve been a bigger hit. “Remind Me,” despite not being released as a single, is a sweet and low-slung groove that has been sampled and interpolated by no less than a dozen significant rap and R&B songs — including Faith Evans’ “Fallin’ in Love,” Notorious B.I.G.’s “Unbelievable,” MoKenStef’s “He’s Mine,” and Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s “I Need You Tonight.” But it’s not like anything about this album requires that kind of validation. [Rhino's 1996 reissue adds the 12" versions of all three singles, including seven very replayable minutes of "Forget Me Nots," as well as two single edits.](Andy kellman – All Music Guide).

The Whispers - The Whispers [1979]
http://i84.servimg.com/u/f84/11/64/53/57/front242.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=439&u=11645357)
As a group who have recorded since the late ’60s, the Whispers seemed to often be textbook journeyman who were one bum steer away from obscurity. Throughout the ’70s they got their success by way of sporadic, great tracks like 1970’s sad-sack anthem, “Gotta Do Wrong,” and 1976’s “Living Together (In Sin).” By the late ’70s, the group had been maintaining a consistent following for some years. As Soul Train Records became Solar, the group and producer Dick Griffey finally attained a definable sound after much trial and error. The Whispers was their first big album effort. This starts off with “A Song for Donny,” a song written by Carrie Lucas that serves as elegy to Donny Hathaway. The ballad, set to the melody of Hathaway’s “This Christmas,” is touching, apt, and believable. Not so is a take on “My Girl” which pointlessly put the track to a disco beat. By this point, Solar was crafting its own sound. The biggest hit here is “And the Beat Goes On.” A brilliant mix of disco’s enthusiasm and synth-derived flash, it’s proof that the Whispers got to the ’80s faster than any of their contemporaries. The Leon Sylvers-produced “Out The Box” is almost as good. Although the group is known for its dance tracks, they had equal success with ballads. The neoclassic “Lady,” written by group member Nicholas Caldwell, features a smooth vocal from Wallace “Scotty” Scott. The last track, “Welcome Into My Dream,” with its romantic arrangement, stays this side of smarmy and acquitted by the sedulous guitar fills and the well-intended vocals. The Whispers isn’t a great album but it more than set the standard for their subsequent work. (Jason Elias – All Music Guide).

Heatwave - Hot Property [1979]
http://i14.servimg.com/u/f14/11/64/53/57/front212.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=472&u=11645357)
This album has been released on CD (much filter), but I still prefer the sound of vinyl.

Heatwave's third album, Hot Property, marked the first time one of their records wasn't produced by Barry Blue; instead of using Blue, the band went with Phil Ramone this time out. Hot Property isn't quite in a class with Too Hot to Handle or Central Heating, and its main single, "Eyeballin'," isn't the disco-era anthem that "The Groove Line" became. Nonetheless, the album has a lot going for it. Once again, Heatwave are as convincing on up-tempo numbers as they are on slower material. "Eyeballin'" (not to be confused with the Mass Production song), "Raise a Blaze," and "One Night Tan" are infectious examples of the type of smooth funk that Heatwave did so well, while "That's The Way We'll Always Say Goodnight" and the Stylistics-influenced "First Day of Snow" demonstrate that the band were equally appealing on romantic ballads and slow jams. To their credit, Heatwave weren't afraid to bring jazz and Latin influences to their R&B foundation: "Therm Warfare" and "Razzle Dazzle" are funk-dance numbers with jazz overtones, while the exuberant "Disco" contains hints of Brazilian music. If you already have Too Hot to Handle and Central Heating in your collection, Hot Property is the next Heatwave album to acquire. [Alex Henderson - All Music Guide].

PLEASE READ

When using EAC: Make sure to check TEST AND COPY SELECTED TRACKS, not just COPY SELECTED TRACKS. Especially if not using ACCURATERIP (http://www.accuraterip.com/) with EAC. Just copying the tracks in EAC does not insure that they are lossless. EAC will check the disc TWICE for each task before completing, so in the test and copy process, EAC actually checks the disc 4 times for errors. If the Test CRC and the Copy CRC (also called "checksums") do not match, then that rip may not be a bit for bit perfect match which means it is actually NOT a 100% lossless copy!! This method might take a little longer to complete, but ensures that you get the best secure rips possible and that you are indeed sharing actual LOSSLESS files. As you all know, I'd rather have ONE quality rip than 10 rips that I am not 100% certain are done correctly. After all these months, you should all know this about me by now, lol

So instead of:

Track 1

Filename C:\Users\Annie\Desktop\Young MC\01. -I Come Off.wav

Peak level 99.9 %
Track quality 100.0 %
Copy CRC 6FD0DFFB
Cannot be verified as accurate (confidence 6) [542A8154], AccurateRip returned [7387F454]
Copy OK


you'll get a message where the Test CRC and Copy CRC should match. If not, something isn't right. :

and if you also use AccurateRip (http://www.accuraterip.com/) as well:

Track 13

Peak level 96.5 %
Track quality 100.0 %
Test CRC C2FDD79E
Copy CRC C2FDD79E

Copy OK


AccurateRip (http://www.accuraterip.com/) isn't really necessary in Secure Mode, but it's nice to get that added security in knowing that the rip is good. And if using BURST MODE, then AccurateRip (http://www.accuraterip.com/) should be a MUST. But whatever mode used (Secure, Burst, Paranoid), TEST AND COPY please yall!! I cannot emphasize this enough

Bar-Kays - Money Talks

5. Mean Mistreater (5:46)
6. Holy Ghost (Reborn) (6:03)


AMG Review:
Although the Bar-Kays stuck with the Stax Records until its demise in 1976, the label stopped releasing the group's recordings after 1973. However, when they re-emerged as a success on the Mercury label with hits like "Shake Your Rump to the Funk," some unreleased recordings they made between 1974 and 1976 were released as an album entitled Money Talks. Although this repackaging was obviously designed to cash in on the group's success, Money Talks stands up as a solid and consistent album in its own right. This material lays the groundwork for the Bar-Kays' post-Stax style by trading live-in-the-studio jams for a carefully produced sound and blending in standout pop hooks into the funky grooves. The best example is "Holy Ghost," a hard-grooving monster of a jam where elaborate horn arrangements dance around a thick synthesizer bassline as Larry Dodson lays down a salacious vocal about his lover's otherworldly romantic skills. It became a big R&B hit when released as a single in 1978 and was later sampled by M/A/R/R/S on their club classic "Pump Up the Volume." Other memorable tracks include the title track, a high-stepping tune that showcases the chops of the horn players, and "Mean Mistreater," an unlikely but effective Grand Funk Railroad cover that transforms the minimalist original tune into a spooky yet sexy mood piece built on some languid keyboard work. None of the other tracks are as strong as "Holy Ghost" (which is so good that it bookends the album in two versions), but they are all listenable and flow together surprisingly well as an album. All in all, Money Talks is a fine slab of vintage funk that will please anyone who loves old-school grooves.

9. Funkin' For Fun (5:56)


AMG Review:
Come 1976, and Parliament got up to its usual tricks in that particular incarnation -- right down to opening backwards-masked vocal weirdness plus sci-fi scenarios in the "Prelude," where "funk is its own reward." With Bernie Worrell and Fred Wesley splitting the horn arrangements and Clinton and Bootsy Collins taking care of the rest, the result is a concept album of sorts you can dance to. The clones get up and do their thing throughout, and if it's not The Wall, then that's all to its benefit. The immediate downside of Clones is that it's a fairly one-note record -- every groove can just about be exchanged for any other one, unlike the wider variety apparent on other releases. Given Clinton and company's sheer work rate, something likely had to give and this is one of the stress points. There are a couple of stronger songs -- "I've Been Watching You (Move Your Sexy Body)" is classic slow jam territory. Not exactly Barry White, but hearing Parliament tone it down just enough pays off, especially with Worrell's drowsy, sensuous horn charts. "Funkin' for Fun," meanwhile, brings the album to a strong, lively end, with just enough in the call-and-response vocals and horns to spark some extra energy into the proceedings. As is the case with most mid- to late-'70s Parliament, things may not be as deep as what was done as Funkadelic, but only those who always explicitly value lyrical worth have any cause to complain. Listening to the silly squeals and burbles on "Dr. Funkenstein" itself is pure fun with sound, while the good doctor's speech is scientific craziness. As one voice says out of nowhere, "Kiss me on my ego!" Special bonus -- the utterly goofball cover photo, one of P-Funk's best.

[CENTER]CeCe Rogers - Never Give Up (1991)
CD-Rip|Flac|Log|Cue

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/4221/fronthf.jpg

Biography
Cleveland-born vocalist Ce Ce Rogers wisely changed his name from Kenny to avoid confusion with the country/pop singer. James Brown nicknamed him Ce Ce as a teen, after watching the young Rogers imitate Chubby Checker. Rogers later studied music in Boston, where he was a classmate of Wynton Marsalis. Marsalis urged him to concentrate on his vocals. Rogers moved to New Jersey and formed Ce Ce & Company, where he worked with vocalist Sybil. After producer Marshall Jefferson saw his show, he recruited Rogers to sing the vocals on a song he'd written titled "Someday." The song did well enough for Rogers to land his own deal. His 1989 LP Forever was well received by dance audiences, and he followed it in 1991 with Never Give Up. Allmusicguide.com

Review

One of his last efforts with the Mizell production team was definitely not his most critically acclaimed, but Caricatures continued Byrd's commercial winning streak that started years previous with 1969's Kofi and such '70s Blue Note classics as Places and Spaces, Black Byrd, and Street Lady. His last release for the label was no exception to the formula set forth from the previously mentioned albums. One of Caricatures strongest features is the level of musicianship from start to finish. Byrd recruited some of the top '70s soul-jazz musicians, such as Gary Bartz, Alphonse Mouzon, David T Walker, and future '80s R&B hitmaker Patrice Rushen, to help complement the musicianship laid down by Byrd and the Mizell brothers. The atmosphere is light and soulful, with musicians bouncing off one another for ideas that shift closer towards R&B while maintaining a sense of jazz ideals. While there is no truly memorable anthemic release or hit to speak of, Caricatures serves its primary purpose of being a jazz fusion record to make both people dance and purists wince at the notion that jazz can fuse with other elements and achieve success.

All Music Guide, Rob Theakston



Biography by Steve Huey

Donald Byrd was considered one of the finest hard bop trumpeters of the post-Clifford Brown era. He recorded prolifically as both a leader and sideman from the mid-'50s into the mid-'60s, most often for Blue Note, where he established a reputation as a solid stylist with a clean tone, clear articulation, and a knack for melodicism. Toward the end of the '60s, Byrd became fascinated with Miles Davis' move into fusion, and started recording his own forays into the field. In the early '70s, with the help of brothers Larry and Fonce Mizell, Byrd perfected a bright, breezy, commercially potent take on fusion that was distinct from Davis, incorporating tighter arrangements and more of a smooth soul influence.

Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill
ROCK | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | 600DPI | 327MB | 41:01

http://i8.fastpic.ru/big/2010/0726/b2/47022f3e0cd5402a375b939dc9823cb2.jpg

Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were remarkable craftsmen from the start, as Steely Dan's debut, Can't Buy a Thrill, illustrates. Each song is tightly constructed, with interlocking chords and gracefully interwoven melodies, buoyed by clever, cryptic lyrics. All of these are hallmarks of Steely Dan's signature sound, but what is most remarkable about the record is the way it differs from their later albums. Of course, one of the most notable differences is the presence of vocalist David Palmer, a professional blue-eyed soul vocalist who oversings the handful of tracks where he takes the lead. Palmer's very presence signals the one major flaw with the album — in an attempt to appeal to a wide audience, Becker and Fagen tempered their wildest impulses with mainstream pop techniques. Consequently, there are very few of the jazz flourishes that came to distinguish their albums — the breakthrough single, "Do It Again," does work an impressively tight Latin jazz beat, and "Reelin' in the Years" has jazzy guitar solos and harmonies — and the production is overly polished, conforming to all the conventions of early-'70s radio. Of course, that gives these decidedly twisted songs a subversive edge, but compositionally, these aren't as innovative as their later work. Even so, the best moments ("Dirty Work," "Kings," "Midnight Cruiser," "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again") are wonderful pop songs that subvert traditional conventions and more than foreshadow the paths Steely Dan would later take. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Vaughan Mason & Butch Dayo - Feel My Love [1983]

New Yorker Vaughan Mason’s claim to fame is the spectacular disco/funk single “Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll,” credited to Vaughan Mason & Crew. That song, released on Brunswick, hit the top five of the U.S. R&B chart in 1980 and became the title track of the group’s first and only album. The single also became sample fodder for several rap songs, including Digital Underground’s “Doowutchyalike,” Heavy D’s “Black Coffee,” De La Soul’s “Cool Breeze on the Rocks,” and Redman’s “Slide and Rock On.” Two other singles from Vaughan Mason & Crew (”Roller Skate” and “Jammin’ Big Guitar”) followed for Brunswick, though neither fared hardly as well as the first. Later on, Mason teamed up with Butch Dayo for a pair of Salsoul singles — “You Can Do It” and “Party on the Corner” — both of which stiffed. [All Music Guide].Tracks:

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The reputation of Boogie Down Productions leader KRS-One began to slip in the early '90s as he spent more time educating than performing. He hit back at his critics with the slamming Return of the Boom Bap, his first official solo release. Leaving behind the detailed production of the last BDP album, Sex and Violence, Boom Bap returns the MC to the spare, gritty territory of Criminal Minded. KRS-One sounds reinvigorated, as well, spitting out his rhymes with fury and intelligence. Although the record isn't as didactic as Edutainment or Sex and Violence, KRS-One hasn't made his lyrics simplistic, nor has he abandoned his cutting, intelligent social commentary. The combination of hard, basic beats and exciting rhymes makes Return of the Boom Bap a genuine comeback for KRS-One, one of the founding figures of modern hip-hop.

AMG Review:
The collaboration between Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson was now a formal one, as they were issuing albums as a team. This was their second duo project to make the pop charts, and it included anti-nuclear and anti-apartheid themes, plus less political, more autobiographical/reflective material like "Summer of '42," "Beginnings (The First Minute of a New Day)," and "Fell Together." Scott-Heron was now a campus and movement hero, and Jackson's production and arranging savvy helped make his albums as arresting musically as they were lyrically.

Instant Funk - Instant Funk [1979]

Instant Funk, the nine-piece funk unit discovered by Bunny Sigler, created a stir in 1979 when Salsoul released the single "I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)." Swirling, screaming horns announce the chorus; hand claps, tambourines and a maniacal rhythm guitar battle the heavy bottom; and a woman delivers erotic lines for added impact. Salsoul followed the number 20 pop and number one R&B (for three weeks) hit with "Crying," a race horse whose relentless beat only subsides near the fade; Carmichael's vocal is passionate, almost deranged. "Never Let Me Go Away," a rare Instant Funk ballad, was so overblown the melody got buried. Spooky voices and haunted-house sounds wallpaper "Dark Vader"'s comic-book lyrics and funky hooks. Rolling horns pump "I'll Be Doggone" (not the Marvin Gaye hit), a cooker that rolls for seven minutes. Four of the eight tracks are killers; a pretty good average for a disco/funk group.

The Coup - Genocide & Juice
FLAC | RAP | CUE | CDTect LOG | 332MB | 52:39
Wild Pitch 1994

NO EXTRACTION LOG
:smh:

http://www.picturedumper.com/data/thumbs/2009/12/08/03e9e0338448.thumb.jpg (http://www.picturedumper.com/picture/20091208/ce60de334f/coup-Gjuice.jpg)

A subtler and more fully realized effort than the debut, Genocide & Juice finds the Coup truly coming into their own, refining their mix of revolutionary politics and easy-rolling funk into some of the best political hip-hop ever put to wax. The main difference here is a richly developed cast of characters, as Boots and E-Roc put human faces on their beliefs, and paint sympathetic portraits of working-class African-Americans struggling to make ends meet any way they can, often stuck with little education and fewer options. Socialist ideology is rarely far from the surface, but because of the way it's presented, it seems just as logical in context as opposing racism. The opening three songs are intertwined together, and mark a quantum leap in the group's sophistication. "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish" introduces a small-time hustler scraping together a living; along with his cousin, he infiltrates a party for corporate fat cats, who happen to enjoy imitating rappers, and drop freestyles about their abuses of power on the screamingly funny "Pimps." Finally, on "Takin' These," the two hustlers rob the party blind, Robin Hood-style, chanting a chorus lifted from Lady and the Tramp's "The Siamese Cat Song." Just in itself, that trio is a tour de force, displaying a sharp satirical instinct that's rare in any form. Although there are a few missteps, the remainder of the album is more consistent than Kill My Landlord, which fell prey to some sleepy beats at times. "The Name Game" makes the point that a few famous rappers don't amount to much when there's no broad economic base to help average African-Americans improve their lives. Another highlight is "Repo Man," a bitter yet catchy complaint that's not just about the villainous title character, but also the circumstances that make him necessary. All in all, Genocide & Juice is an enormously sophisticated work that the Coup would only go on to better the next time out. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Okay, here are the particulars on this rip: There is no extraction log, but if you open the files in foobar2000 and check out the Properties (right click in queue), you will see the AccurateRip checksums. So I am assuming this is a secure rip. Of course, I have no way of knowing if the Read and Write Offsets are correct. Also, there is no artwork. All in all, I'm comfortable with the files, but wouldn't complain if someone else decides to rip it the right way

Me too got this album very nice produced by Wayne Henderson...
I had it from Blackmon in FunkUniversum...it's a 320kbps rip...
Also featuring bacon frying that don't hit me in the funk tracks, but bother a bit in the slow ballads...
ClickRepair can fix this problem without (absolutely!!) touching the frequency dynamics like many Declickers do....

Audacity is useful for some wav editing, but it's not good for declick and denoise...
Anyway i'm also waiting for the Whodshecco work with this album....
