Sundaze 1202

Hello, after taking a week off thanks to the scheduling, getting started again is always a bit difficult, therefore setting off easy with a pair of 'chilling' samplers. N joy !

Released by the Aleph Zero label, Natural Born Chillers offers deeply intriguing psychedelic ambient electronic music from a carefully handpicked, and at times lesser-known, set of artists in this genre. In the past, Aleph Zero has hosted acclaimed artists including Bluetech and Shulman. The album opens with "Alaya" by Ishq, an extreme downtempo track of hypnotizing atmospheric moments without any percussion. The album then steps up the pace with "Shakti" by Anahata and "A New Philosophy" by Zen Mechanics. The fourth track, "Disconnect" by Jirah, is an album highlight. Tim McCall (Jirah) created a track similar to the sound he is best known for: energetic and atmospheric music that strolls along the divide between downtempo and brisk styles. The complete album offers rich sound palettes, despite being an electronic ambient album with a plethora of sampling techniques, Natural Born Chillers does not shy away from using traditional sounds, especially from the East. With the remix of "On Air," MIDIval PunditZ demonstrate their early influences and production capabilities that are easily groundbreaking, if at times missing from their latter albums. The album closes with the beautifully ambient "Under Water, Pt. 1" by Eastern Spirit. Compiled by DJ Shahar and Shulman, Natural Born Chillers showcases artists who have taken ambient music a step ahead toward richer, deeper, and cutting-edge sounds.

Rhodeo 1201 Grooves

Hello, today's artists have been up to the downslope and carved out their own niche in the globalmusic mind..PPP FFFunk from the start of the seventies onwards they laid their grooves on us, and even, as you can see at the bottom, if i posted several vinylrips 4 years ago (Rhotation Grooves 10 & 20), I think a further and deeper look into their discography is essential. So the coming weeks Fridaynght Grooves will be...

"A Parliafunkadelicment Thang"

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

In 1975 Michael Hampton, a teen guitar prodigy, replaced Hazel as the premier lead guitarist in Parliament-Funkadelic, and was a major contributor to the next several Funkadelic albums. Funkadelic left Westbound in 1976 and moved to Warner Brothers. Their first album for Warner was Hardcore Jollies in 1976. Just before leaving Westbound, Clinton provided that label with a collection of recently recorded outtakes, which Westbound released as the album Tales of Kidd Funkadelic.

Expanding back out to a more all-over-the-place lineup -- about 15 or so people this time out -- Funkadelic got a bit more back on track with Standing on the Verge. Admittedly, George Clinton repeats a trick from America Eats Its Young via another re-recording of an Osmium track, namely leadoff cut "Red Hot Mama." However, starting as it does with a hilarious double soliloquy (with the first voice sounding like the happier brother of Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk) and coming across with a fierce new take, it's a good omen for Standing on the Verge as a whole. Eddie Hazel's guitar work in particular is just plain bad-ass; after his absence from Cosmic Slop, it's good to hear him fully back in action with Bernie Worrell, Cordell Mosson, Gary Shider, and the rest. In general, compared to the sometimes too polite Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge is a full-bodied, crazy mess in the best possible way, with heavy funk jams that still smoke today while making a lot of supposedly loud and dangerous rock sound anemic.

One of Funkadelic's goofiest releases, Let's Take It to the Stage also contains more P-Funk all-time greats as well, making for a grand balance of the serious and silly. The targets of the band's good-natured wrath are, in fact, other groups -- "Hey, Fool and the Gang! Let's take it to the stage!" There's no mistaking the track that immediately follows makes it even more intense -- "Get off Your Ass and Jam" kicks in with one bad-ass drum roll and then scorches the damn place down, from guitar solo to the insanely funky bass from Bootsy Collins. It may only be two and a half minutes long, but it alone makes the album a classic. Hearing Collins' unmistakable tones is usually enough to get anything on the crazy tip, but "Be My Beach" just makes it all the more fun, as does the overall air of silly romance getting nuttier as it goes. "Good to Your Earhole" sets the outrageous mood just right -- it's one of the band's tightest monsters of funk, guitars sprawling all over the place even as the heavy-hitting rhythm doesn't let one second of groove get lost. Of course, there's also one totally notorious number to go with it, but "No Head No Backstage Pass" has one of the craziest rhythms on the whole album, not to mention lip-smackingly nutty lines delivered with the appropriate leer.

Funkadelic's major-label jump brought its version of life more into line with Parliament, though the crucial difference between the two -- Funkadelic's guitars vs. Parliament's horns -- remains intact. Eddie Hazel is missed, as always, but Gary Shider and Mike Hampton do fine work. Whoever peels off the concluding solo at the end of "Comin' Round the Mountain" deserves credit, even if it's sometimes flash for flash's sake. Similar exercises in feedback can be found on the title track and elsewhere, sometimes great, sometimes timekeeping. Still, after all, the album itself is dedicated "to the guitar players of the world," so it can't be said that George Clinton and company aren't keeping the proper focus on things. Generally, things are fairly light on Hardcore Jollies, though a remake of earlier highlight "Cosmic Slop" retains the sharp sentiments, even if it's not quite as strongly delivered as before (musically it's much more centered around the bass and drums, though things get duly crazed all around toward the end). Otherwise, the emphasis is on fairly clean jams and rhythms, with more lower-key goofiness than before but still merrily out there. If it's not truly gone and great like Maggot Brain or Let's Take It to the Stage, it's still good listening at its best moments. "If You Got Fun, You Got Style" makes for a better chat-up dancefloor appreciation than most, while "Soul Mate" balances out obvious "want you bad" sentiments with squirrelly lead vocals that don't quite fit the subject at hand. And who could knock the use of the "there's a place in France/where the ladies wear no pants" melody in "You Scared the Lovin' Outta Me"? Pedro Bell does some of his best work ever for the cover and inside art, while the accompanying short story is hilarious.

RhoDeo 1201 Goldy Rhox

Hello, today the 53rd post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight a UK artist who once drummed for a successful symphonic band where he took over as the leadsinger no longer wanted to be part of the show, he once had so brilliantly created..duh To the surprise of the fans the band didn't collapse but found new footing thanks to our mystery artist and went on to score even some hit successes . in part because our mystery man had gone solo and started a series of highly commercial solo albums. According to Atlantic Records, his total worldwide sales as a solo artist, as of 2000, were 150 million. He has won numerous music awards throughout his career, including seven Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards—winning Best British Male three times, an Academy Award, and two Golden Globes for his solo work. In 2008, he was ranked the 22nd most successful artist on the "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists".

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Todays mystery album is his debut solo album, released in February 1981 on the Virgin label internationally and Atlantic Records in North America. The album includes a hit single, whose dark mood was inspired by the fallout of Collins' first marriage, as is most of the album. He decided to incorporate an R&B; horn section, hiring the Phenix Horns, who played backup for Earth, Wind & Fire. He refused to listen to friends who had advised him not to use the horns and they would play a major role for most of his solo career.

He also used another then-controversial method in using drum programming rather than just live drum instrumentation despite his reputation as a drummer. Not all doom and gloom though there's a track too written for Jill Tavelman who later became his 2nd wife. Sales of the album reached five million alone in the United States and went five-times platinum in the United Kingdom and ten-times platinum in Canada. No solo tour was produced from this album and he would not perform live as a solo artist until 1982.
