Peace Gen & the AJ Crew,
I too have *really* been feeling the Earth compilation. I was lucky enuff
to get the 5 - wax - box set. there are about 4 or 5 songs that are 3 x
dope. My favorite is ... oh jeez I dont have it in front of me ... but I
think it's by Big Bud - it's not "Spritual" it's another one, maybe called
"how do you do" ? It's got a beautiful, zen like balance, with a full and
rich mid tempo groove, and slightly minimal Rhodes keys on top of it that
sound like they could be Lonnie Liston Smith from the early 70's (and I
dont think it's the track with Weldon Irvine)
That track is one of my #1's right now!!!!!!!!!!
Also the vinyl box set is worth picking up for the beautiful artwork.
Nicely printed saturated color shots of nature-scapes, one on each vinyl
sleeve inside the box.
Big up to LTJ Bukem, whose production and label-vision has really grown on
me over the last few years... he's way beyond musical categories and has a
very contemplative, elegant, refined aesthetic which never ceases to
capture my imagination.
Nat
