> But I discovered a group called brooklyn funk essentials with an excellent song titled The creator has a masterplan. Does any one know something more about this group. >>>

This song was actually written by Pharoah Sanders, and I was quite
surprised to hear BFE doing it. I haven't seen them live, but I hear
that they are supposed to be amazing. Their cd 'cool and steady and
easy' is good too. It is on RCA. I think that they use the synths a
little too much, but they definitely make up for it in their
musicianship.
The stand out track for me is 'The Revolution was postponed because of
rain." David Allen who does the rap, has a great style IMO.
