ARCHIE SHEPP & THE FAMILY OF PERCUSSION - HERE COMES THE FAMILY

ABSOLUT BANGER!!!
the track 'here comes the family' sees Mr Archie Shepp doing some poetic recitation over a slow tempo beat that very much sounds like rapping!!!He is originally known for playing saxophone and this is one of the rare times he actually grabs the mic !Superb...
Here is a bit of info from Professor Wikipedia :
ARCHIE SHEPP (born May 24, 1937) is a prominent African-American jazz saxophonist.^[1] Shepp is best known for his passionately Afrocentric music of the late 1960s, which focused on highlighting the injustices faced by the African race, as well as for his work with the New York Contemporary Five, Horace Parlan, and his collaborations with his "New Thing" contemporaries, most notably Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane.^[1]

fresh brand new music : Tune yards

tUnE-yArDs is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, BiRd-BrAiNs was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic.

Recording herself using a digital voice recorder and assembled using shareware mixing software, she was described by Stereogum as “a self-contained Sublime Frequencies compilation, jumping between blues, African tunes, shiny reggae-esque sprawls, and lo-fi folk”, infusing the worldly sonic palette of M.I.A. or post-punk pioneers The Raincoats.

Orange juice - 'The Glasgow School'

Orange Juice was a Scottish post-punk band founded in the middle class Glasgow suburb of Bearsden as the Nu-Sonics in 1976. Edwyn Collins formed the Nu-Sonics (who were named after a cheap brand of guitar) with his fellow Bearsden Academy pupil, Alan Duncan, and James Kirk and Steven Daly left a band called The Machetes to join them.^[1] The band became Orange Juice in 1979. Orange Juice are best known for the hit "Rip It Up", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1983, the band's only UK Top 40 hit.^[2]

My personal favourites on this one are "consolation prize" and "poor old soul part 1"

Da king and I-"contemporary jeep music"

FUNKY, FUNKY, FUNKY...is the best word(s) to describe this '93 east-coast release. Of course, 90% of the albums that came out in that brilliant era were dope, but Da King & I is a really unique duo with a sound that seemingly never gets old. You could say it's Maj's incredible, layered beats that make this album stand out, but more appropriately it's the chemistry between Izzy and Majesty that make "Contemporary Jeep Music" a really dope listen.


Here's the track list:

1) Intro (Contemporary Jeep Music)
2) Let's Take a Trip
3) Flip da Scrip
4) Interlude 1 (MC A$$h*le)
5) Krak da Weazel
6) Interlude 2 (Amusement Park)
7) Brain 2 U
8) Tears
9) Soul Shack Interlude
10) Ghetto Instinct
11) Mr. All That
12) Interlude 3 (Jazz Skit)
13) This is How We Do
14) Interlude 4 (Izzy Sings da Blues) *One of the best skits I've ever heard*
15) Lost My Mind
16) Represent
17) Crack da Weasel (Dat Other S***)
18) What's Up Doc

Pigbag (full band history here) was a fantastic melting pot of rock, funk, jazz, and Latin styles; unfortunately they were only together for three years, 1980-83. After the breakup, Y Records released this album of odds and ends, containing seven live tracks from five shows and a remix of "Jump the Line." Most notable are the live versions of "Sunny Day" and "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag," and a cover of the Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong classic "Smiling Faces (Sometimes)" which did not appear on any of Pigbag's studio albums. The full track listing is:

A1 Shack of Scraps Live - Berlin Latin Quarter - 5th April 1983
A2 Smiling Faces Live - Berlin Latin Quarter - 5th April 1983
A3 Sunny Day Live - Birmingham Locarno - 17th March 1982
A4 Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag Live - Hammersmith Palais - 16th March 1982
B1 Jump The Line Remix - Jacobs Studio - December 1982
B2 Global Terrain Live - Berlin Latin Quarter - 5th April 1983
B3 End of Ubud Live - Munich Alabama Hall - 6th April 1983
B4 Can't See for Looking Live - Tokyo Sun Plaza - July 1982

Bush Tetras is an all girl band from the 80's that could be put in the New York No Wave section at your indie record store, but it's a little too melodic and funkified to live there comfortably. The lack of classification may explain the overlooked nature of this band. Boom in the Night is reissue of their original recordings made between 1980-1983 and is, in my opinion, the best collection of their work. Only a handful of EPs were released on independent labels in the 80's, but they seemed to disappear until their reformation in 1995. I recently came across the band via a comment made by Thurston Moore on New York Noise and I have been listening nonstop for the past couple of weeks. If I could coin a new term, I would call it Funk-Punk. Taking super stripped down punk to its most minimal and adding groove-saturated bass lines and cutting guitars. Kinda like early The Liars if they were all girls and heavily into Tim Burton.
