funny, because i have heard quite a bit of the trinity but are still yet
to hear the oblivion express..
any way, my 2 trinity albums are: 'Highlights' (check out the track
'finally found you out'..exteremly funky in a jimmy smith kinda way), and
'Definitely What' (recomendation: 'John browns Body')

it's funny because my mum, of all people, turned me on to brian Auger and
jools Driscol many years ago.. back then, i thought it was so
funky with so many unsampled potential breaks.. (well that was then)..
some of my favourite jools and auger tracks would have to be 'Season of
the witch' (simply beutiful), 'Indian Rope Man' (funny how Acid Jazz
took to this.. Mother earth sampled this and it makes a real nice mix..
Phaze's version just doesn't even come close), and 'Light my fire' which
organised konfusion sampled on thier new album.
