Just for a differing opinion from most... I just got ahold of earthling's album
'Radar'. Some of the beats are cool but the raps..? P-yew. I have to say the
raps are terrible, i am not into the style or content at all. Some of the
stuff has a bit of a Portishead feel and some stuff even smacks of a sort of
alternative vibe. I think the album is a little watered down compared to other
recent releases.

Picked up 'Bossa Brava' this weekend after many good comments from this list as
well as a marathon Sergio Mendes session in my apartment one night. Its an
awesome compilation with a real fine Brazilian vibe. I liked every single
song. A super release from Instinct.

Ronnie Laws did the original Always There. It came out in 1976 and I can't say
which album.
