there's a really nice track on the london funk allstars' "flesh eating
disco zombies v. the bionic hookers from mars" album (ninja tunes). the
rest of the tracks are excellent as well.

pete rock and cl smooth are definitely hip hop masters. "mecca and the
soul brother", from which "they reminisce over you" is from, is a
must-have ("when they reminisce" is sort of the pop hit).

pete rock's remixes from the public enemy "apocalypse 91" album --
nighttrain and shut 'em down -- are great, too.

hope this helps,

olivia
