mini reviews #3

third edition then and for this one i asked someone else first but they felt they needed some time to sort out stuff first so i thought of this other individual after that.

this individual goes under the moniker of miss pie and is this wonderful weird dirty canadian creature. she's a person that i talk to a lot since we share a similar love of 80's & 90's music.

01. robert hood presents floorplan - funky souls | youtube
it's very funky but extremely repetitive but it my leg moving right from the first beat so i like it.

02. wham! - a ray of sunshine | youtube
this is flamboyant but quite funky and i've never heard this one before but this goes down well in my book.

03. jorge ben jor - oba, la vem ela | youtube
i've been tipped off on this before and it's quite a beautiful song but my favourite part is that break in the middle with so much tension building

04. barrabas - woman | youtube
the track is incredibly funky and just the percussion groove has me moving my butt. right on.

05. pat metheny group - slip away | youtube
my introduction to pat metheny when i found out that nick holder jacked the song for his "summer daze". great song and i love that piano break.

06. davy dmx - one for the treble | youtube
classic b-boy track this one, it has an incredibly nice groove and i really like it but it's not anything special though.

07. the s.o.s. band - just be good to me | youtube
ifirst introduced to this when someone pointed out that "dub be good to me" used the lyrics. it's a really good 80's funk joint and i love it.

08. aphex twin - xtal | youtube
gorgeous tune and i really like how the melodics are reverbed out.

09. madeon - for you | youtube
this sounds like mylo circa 2004 but on steroids and it's incredibly funky.

10. funeral oration - i fall harder | youtube
this sounds like if bad religion wanted to sound like r.e.m. and i don't really like it, except the bass.

thanks for those ten jennie. and as always i asked if she wanted to anything extra about her picks and her response was:
so hard to choose 10 tunes, so i just went with the ones most recently in my head. i could have easily just gone with all hip hop or funk
