Four Crates: Episode Nine
Various - Electro Vol. 8
This will be going in the chuck out pile. Cause.
Various - RTR Volume. 1
When I was going through a big indie/electro phase (CSS-era electro, that is) I happened upon this LP. There's a lot of garbage on here but the stand out for me was 'Do You Wanna Funk' by Sylvester. That song goes off. I'm praying The Twelves have done a remix or something. But when I listened to it last night I realised it had 'Send Me An Angel' by Real Life on it. Love that song too! I'm going to keep this for those two songs. Is that cheating?
The Cruse Family - The Best Of
More gospel heat on the Day Spring label. The Cruse family, from my understanding, are not an actual family but a few people with the surname Cruse and some session musicians I guess. Anyways, this was bound to have something sampleable on it and I managed to make this:
(Peace to Aesop)
Peaches & Herb - 2 Hot
Everyone and their dogg has made a song using this album. It's an absolute cracker. 'Reunited' is my favourite jam. I sing along to that when it comes on the radio. I flipped it for the Brown Tape (ask -M about it). Anyways, I made a couple more beats off it just to make a point to myself that it's a definite keeper:
Harry Belafonte - Calypso
In my house there are three records that get play any day of the week: Paul Simon's Gracelands, the Dangerdoom album and Harry Belafonte's Sings Of The Caribbean. If you're unfamiliar with the last one, do yourself a favour and cop. It has such hits as Scratch Me Back, Judy Drownded and the rest of it. I won't lie though, a lot of his other albums are not my cup of tea. I try to pick up any that I find to see if I can expand my collection. So far I have 'Sings The Blues' and this one, 'Calypso'. Man it is a doozy! Very stoked with this one. Not only listening shelf bound, but probably going to be scone making music for the next few Sundays.
Danny Kortchmar - Kooteh
I was convinced I picked this one up in an opp shop but when I pulled the record out of the sleeve it had my Aunty's initials on it which means -M gave it to me in the great Nelson St clean-out. I don't know what his criteria was back then but most of the things I got of him have been sample gold. Anyways, this one has got a stack of great blues rock and a few samples I was able to pull. This is a sample I was playing with. The drums in the background were a bit hectic but I was too lazy to separate the stereo tracks, so here you have it:
Various - Bush Singalong
This is basically like the New Zealand version of the Aussie Folk Songs record I wrote about a few weeks back. Awesome New Zealand accents, funny songs and dope cover art. All wrapped up into a fine Kiwi record. This one is going straight to the pool room.
Also included in this lot were two 12" singles that I found at the weirdest place. One is a white label which someone has written "Slow" on one side and "Bum Face" with a drawing of a bum and a face (helpfully) on the other. Amazing! The other one is, what would've been, Gay House but in this day and age, with the UK Funky scene it's pretty great. In an ironic way.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for your interest.
