Lets drop a real heavy stuff: Metro Area!!
Get informed about this ultra-supa-MF-worderful-incredible-terrifying-and-magnific NY duo here! Read about their debut selftitle album ( ### & %%%). Sorry, no time to prepare a proper review by myself, but this album will make the justice..
Just can say it`s probably one of the most interesting musics ever!
Somebody once said: "it's like 70's disco meets 80's synth funk meets 00's house music". Well, I think it just fits good! Highly recommended!!

It`s pretty known that a large body of the music produced in the last decades are not fully produced. I mean, people don`t get the instruments, start to play and that`s all - there is the music, especially in electronic music genres. No matter whether it`s a sample, a remix or an edit, one of the most common questions is “where this music comes from?”
For Daft Punk fanatics wondering about the origins of the French electronica duo's tunes, DISCOVERED solves the mystery, revealing the source material behind many of the act's catchiest melodies and most infectious rhythms.
This is a collection of the original tunes that shows us where Daft Punk took their original samples from. Listening to this disc will make your reassess the French duo's musical prowess. These 12 tracks lay down enough funked-up soul and disco to start your own 70s themed club night; an assortment of flavoured classics with enough hidden gems to keep us both interested and informed.

Daft Punk is a french duo and one of the pioneers in electronic music. Along more than a decade of production and success they`ve become one of the most influencing group in the electronic field.
Rather than a “best of”, Musique Vol.1 may represent an state of art “best of” compilation of Daft Punk releases over 12 years of career. It may not aggregate much for long time fans (like any other compilation of this kind) since it comprises most of their greatest hits, but it may be a good start point for those who didn`t know much about their work or those who always followed them from a certain distance and never took their material for a deeper examination (which was my case..).
Creative techno & club house music made with disco-funk influences and samples! Highly recommended..

Marlena Shaw started singing in the mid 60`s and has an active career until now. She worked with many influent artists in important record labels starting from Chess following Blue Note (first female in the label), Columbia, Verve and others.
The Spice of Life is her second album release in Cadet Records, a subsidiary of Chess label. Can`t say much about this album but if let me go direct to the point the album-value hit is track n°7, "California Soul".
However this is not the only good track here and for those who think this is just a soul singer album, be careful! Keep in mind the production involves Marlena together with the arrangements of Richard Evans & Charles Stepney! Highlights still include "Woman of Ghetto" and "Liberal Conversation", in my poor opinion..
A lot of influences and genres crossings from blues, r`n`b, jazz, funk and of course soul!
Tracklist: 01. Woman of the Ghetto (6:02) 02. Stormy Monday (3:01) 03. Where Can I Go? (2:21) 04. I'm Satisfied (2:48) 05. I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free) (3:12) 06. Liberation Conversation (2:03) 07. California Soul (2:59) 08. Go Away, Little Boy (2:45) 09. Looking Through the Eyes of Love (3:00) 10. Anyone Can Move a Mountain (3:03)
01# This cover comes from the 1977 release which I like much more than the original or recent reissues that keep the original picture.... as you know: taste is taste!
02# I can`t say how many times and by how many diferent artists her tracks have been sampled and remixed.
03# A video edition playing "California Soul" for a quick preview:
Let`s talk about one of biggest drummers ever! Billy Cobhan!
If you`re a drummer or funk-jazz-fusion addicted you may know him. If never hear about him or not even know what drum is (Ok.. I`m kidding)watch this:
You can make a better google search and have access to more information than my few minutes to write this post could ever bring you. So.. just some facts about him:
He`s born in 1944 in Panama and moved to New York during his early childhood where he graduated at NY`s High School of Music & Art in 1962. He played in a U.S. Army Band from 1965 to 1968. After that he`s been playing and recording mostly in jazz-funk and fusion style with many other talented artist such as Miles Davis, Stanley Turrentine, George Duke, James Brown, Carlos Santana and many others. He has a prolific solo carrer as well as you can check here in his 1975 album, "A Funky Thide Of Sings".
Tracks cover jazz-rock-funky gems with hard drum beats! Dope music!
Tracklist:
1. Panhandler (4:05) 2. Sorcery (2:24) 3. A Funky Thide Of Sings (3:39) 4. Thinking Of You (4:26) 5. Some Skunk Funk (5:07) 6. Night At The End Of The Tunnel (3:37) 7. A Funky Kind Of Thing (9:14) 8. Moody Modes (12:17)
A treasure trove of funk from one of the greatest unsung heroes of the genre! Alan Hawkshaw, a high-talented Hammond organ player, was one of the coolest cats in the British studio scene of the 60s and 70s - a period that had him doing countless recordings for TV, radio, film, and other commercial sources. Like many active British session player, Alan Hawkshaw, in addition to playing on many records by stars, did some recording as part of studio-only bands and for music library albums. Mo'Hawk selects 20 such tracks from 1967-1975, emphasizing ones that put his soul-rock-jazz Hammond organ to the fore. Some were credited to bands when first released -- four to the Mohawks, one to the Salon Band, and one to Rumplestiltskin.
This bountiful collection really do justice to Alan's genius - filled with great tunes that crackle with hot Hammond organ licks, sweet electric piano bits, and a mad mix of easy and funk that always satisfies. Alan Hawkshaw remains a high profile name amongst collectors!
Various shades of easy listening, soul, funk, jazz, and psychedelia make their way into the tracks! Highly recommended!
