    I'm playing Thrust a lot too since I just got a copy last week.  I'll never get tired of this one.  Lots of samples I've heard in all kinds of songs.  And everytime I go into a used record shop lately the first artist I look for is Airto.  One of the best drummers/percussionists ever.  I'm about to drop most of the new stuff in a minute and head straight for the old! 

    P.S.  Here are a few old tings I'm feeling ... I'm after so much more. 

    Ramp - Come Into the Knowledge..... "I wanna see daylight, daylight..."

    Lonnie Liston & the Cosmic Echos - Expansions

    Dorothy Ashby - Afro Harping ... damn! this is sweet

    Kool & the Gang - Light of Worlds

    Eugene McDaniels - Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse

    >Miles Davis. Panthalassa (reconstruction by Bill Laswell); I've had it for well over 2 years, and I'm just now starting to plumb the depths. How can you write music that sounds hot and new 25 - 30 years into the future? Just be Miles Davis, that's all. These are badass originals, reloved nicely.

    >Track 2, Black Satin, the nastiness from On The Corner, rugged and raw.
    >
    >Track 3. Rated X rawness, all the funk you love, the psycho-sound collage textures you need. Morphs into sweetdrippingwithfunk at Billy Preston, about (6:10 minutes in). Begging for still more MORE remixes, here....
    >
    >Track 4. He Loved Him Madly... Miles' Duke Ellington tribute, this is the downtempo flute psychobizness here.

    >Buy it, get it, study it, live it, love it, be it.... (cf. the article about the making of Bitches' Brew in this month's Jazz Times magazine.)

    >Rae & Christian. Northern Sulpheric Soul, Sleepwalking.
    >Airto. The Best Of, The Other Side Of This.
    >Herbie Hancock. Thrust (can't / won't stop playing this one)
    >
    >Stuff that didn't grab me too much...

    >Hefner, Residue (UK version), smooth downtempo shuffly biz..
    >MJ Cole, Sincere (UK version), hey, I like the DJ's ting, too.!
    >Soullive. Doin' Somethin. Funky organ trio, (hot left hand, no doubt) with Fred Wesley cropping up here and there... "Shack-Man" is a bit naughtier/funkier, ihmo.
