T.C CURTIS - BUMP & SLIDE 12"(DUB VERSION) HOT MELT RECORDS, 1983
T.C Curtis has his fair share of adoring fans somewhere out there, I for one ain't one of them - there is just something about his vocals that really get to me, irritate me almost - I actually was in the habit of totally dismissing every single T.C Curtis record I came across, this for some funny reason happened to be the exception and boy am I grateful for that.
The needle stayed on the A-side (vocal side) for about 10 seconds, but upon flipping it over I realised I had a beast on my hand - minus the squealing of Mr. Curtis which was a very pleasant bonus. Heavy bass thuds and echo/flanger effects - it remains one of my favourite boogie/dub remixes - simply because it goes off anytime it drops. If you buy any T.C Curtis record, buy this one - bold statement I know - I just haven't heard another one that comes close - maybe if he did less singing.

DETROIT TECHNO - THE CREATION OF TECHNO MUSIC (HIGH TECH SOUL) by Gary Bredow [2006] . . music by Juan Atkins [66 minutes] Carl Craig, Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kenny Larkin are just a few of the luminaries that appear on this fantastic piece of documented work. It covers all angles regarding the rise of techno music in Detroit and a history behind the music and this iconic, almost mystical city. A definite must see, even if it's for just the soundtrack. *Props to Dobie Campbell for highlighting this one.*

CHUCHO VALDES - INVITACION (QUINTENTO DE JAZZ) - INVITACION (AREITO 1986) Classical pianist turned mad scientist is possibly the most appropriate way of describing Chucho Valdes on this track. Lock in tight for this one - 16 minutes of mayhem. Chucho Valdes - Invitacion(quintento de jazz)

LEGOWELT - BEYOND THE CONGO (released Jan 05) Would have been my Jam of the year if NTS existed in 2005, but what the hey. Classic, going into the record bag for NYE. |

TOUKI BOUKI THE JOURNEY OF THE HYENA By Djibril Diop Mambety ,1973, Senegal This is Great. An avantgard arthouse cinematograpy and editing aesthetic within traditional senegalese symbolism and post-colonial character psyche,Touki Bouki continually disrupts our feelings of realism,and manages to avoid over-emotion by creating a genuine intrigue in place of demand for melodramatic response.Living at the edge of the heaving, crystal-blue ocean,Mory and Anta’s dream city doesn't seem so far away, and the young lovers embark on an exhilarating adventure as they try to hustle money for their passage.In opposite parallel to the film’s protagonists, director Djibril Diop ‘s dream at the time was to return to Africa which to him had become a distant mythical land after decades of living in Paris.Touki Bouki is a story as old as the world itself : of those who continually set out for new lands where they believe time never stops and like all seekers ,they sometimes win and sometimes lose.
