Greetings all, I am requesting recommendations if any of you would be so
kind as to help me out. I just picked up an amazing record on a (french)
label called Beau Monde that i found in the lounge core section. I'm
pretty sure the name of the artist is Uriel but i forget the title. It
is the smoothest, laid back, groovy stuff but with occasional reminders
that it's electronic (techno sounds etc.) without overdoing it. Does
anyone know more about this group? does this label put out other kick
ass stuff? what in this vien should i look into etc, etc?

One other thing i picked up was the Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song
soundtrack. I'm sure a lot of talk on the list has floated by me as far
as this stuff is concerned and i might not have recognized the names. I
definitely want to get a lot of the kind of soul/funk one hears when
watching a Dolemite movie. Disco Godfather was the joint! I guess i'm
talking early 70's. Anyway if anyone could toss out some names...

Thanks...
Argo
