hey eel,
I love Joe Claussell's work. His solo album, Language, is only OK though, in
my humble opinion with a couple of good tracks. If you can find the New
Latinaires compilations, there are three now, you will find some good work
by Joe, especially the second one which has that great remix of Snowboy's
Casa Forte on it. If you can find the Femi Kuti remix album, Shoki Remixed,
there are a couple of great remixes on that, provided you like the African
end of music. Joe's work appears on lots of compilations and, if you like
stuff that has an orientation toward percussion, then his stuff is up your
alley, it is what I really like about his remixing and production work,
heavy emphasis on the percussion end of the spectrum, I am a big fan of Joe
Claussell.
Have a great weekend!
