>Subject: New list announce-- Kozmigroov
>
>It looks like I'm starting a new list-- Kozmigroov, dedicated to
>fine jazz-funk-fusion-what-have-you w/psychedelic/interstellar leanings.
>Think Miles' _Dark Magus_, Sun Ra, P-Funk's _Rhenium_ & _MaggotBrain_,
>_Electric Byrd_, The _Jazz Satellites_ comp, Rufus Harley (jazz's only
>bagpipe player, that I know of), Joe Henderson, Eddie Henderson, etc., etc.
>
>While I'd like this list to extend into music of the present, I'm kind of
>instituting a "minimum one live percussionist" rule (w/a preference on
>human generated rhythm), to keep conversation of interest only to
>baggy-panted deejays to a minimum.
>
>Space funk, astrologically-themed fusionfests w/Afro-Cuban/Brazillian
>rhythms, R&B w/blistering electric leads, arps, & moogs-- discussion of
>these will be gladly welcomed.
>
>Also, anything "kosmische" that grooves-- the krautrockers who are "too
>jazzy" or "too ethnofusion" for "hard rock fans" or (shiver) "symphonic
>rock fans" (Embryo? Ibliss? Kollectiv? I'm pretty green here, though
>Xhol & Thirsty Moon are two good starting points, & Niagara is out-n-out
>German funk!)
>
>Am I mad? Well, it doesn't really matter, as the list is set up, & there
>seems to be some general interest in the subject.

>To subscribe, send a message to

>kozmigroov-request@lists.best.com

>w/the word

>"subsingle"

>in the body. Or, if you're feeling very optimistic about the list's natal
>volume, simply put the word
>
>"subscribe"
>
>in the body, which should subscribe you to the digest.
