Been shouting about this crew from Holland for some
time now and 'Oh my god' Colin Lindo aka 'Nubian
Mindz' from the Archive, Reinforced camps comes with
two blinding remixes. One Detroit house creamer and one
absolute no buts 'broken beater' belter. Look out for the
finished copy which will come with Domu bizniz!
30. Nicole Conte - Forma 2000 (Les Gammas remix)(Schema) CD-R
Dem boys on a roll! Les Gammas come with the lick
on this tasty jazz come soundtrack monster. Right now,
Les Gammas the most prolific and productive of the
European crews and top tip from da Cuki, do not pass
any mix or any release from them.
#### #### Coffee Compliment #### ####
Charles Sullivan - Genesis
Strata East, SES 7413 (1974)
Recently reminded to me by a couple of cool cats on NJW.
Been meaning to dig this one out ever since Les Gammas
reworked a version of the tragic 'Now I'll Sleep'. It seems
that the Les Gammas version is destined to sit on the shelf
for a while so thought it best to root out the original source.
This album also made an appearance on the Inner City imprint
two years later (IC 1012). Dee Dee Bridgewater sings with total
conviction of one's last moments alive. Songs about suicide are
always edgy and dark but this has a surreal beauty in its tragedy.
You really do feel her peace! Never once in all the times I have
listened to this track have I ever been disturbed. Dee Dee's
delivery of the lyrics is nothing short of amazing. She captures
the complete essence of this tragic topic! Some have said that
this is the strongest she has ever sang! Sullivan's trumpet solo
at the end and Stanley Cowell's piano add to the haunting mood.
