    artist title label

    1.Various - The wonder of Stevie - Harmless - 2 x 12 double album- uk
    Lets get this straight.Stevie is God.He is the maaaaaan.Albums like
    Innervisions and Songs In The Key of Life are essential pieces of music
    history that should be owned by everyone but there is so,so much more by
    Stevie to be discovered.This album compiled by Spinna & Bobbito
    celebrates the love for the man by putting together a selection of
    Wonder ful tracks covered by other artists.Minnie Riperton....Jose
    Feliciano and Ray Baretto classics rub shoulders with lessa known
    versions from Hugo Montenegro,First Choice & Sergio Mendes etc.Many
    people out there have girlfriends and wives who are often heard to
    remark....''You love music more than you love me''.When music is this
    good and then you check out the original versions that comment becomes
    totally understandable and maybe even true.Respects to Dan Jordan for
    putting .A champ not a chump !

    2.Dinning Rooms -Flamenco Sketches - Nicola Conte Version - Schema cd -Italy
    Ahhhhhh......The latest top notch ,don dadda Nicola Conte remix comes to
    us in the shape of a rework for those rather fine Italian
    gentlemen...The Dining Rooms.Due in September with a John 'Do Right'
    Kong remix to come , Nicola (the nu jazz bossa king supremo....)comes
    through with a scorcher so hot that you'll need blister cream at the
    ready.His version is modal jazz with an afro cuban jazz beat.The flute
    player,Nicola Stilo uses Coltrane esque scales whilst on keys Mirko
    Signorile shifts to a Bill Evans approach.The mix was completed during
    the recording sessions for Nicola's new album so it has the same sound
    and conception of it.And trust me if you hear this record and are
    feeling a little damp with excitement then trust me......you'll need
    nappies when you hear Nicola's forthcoming album not dropping till early
    2004.Me ? well...I've heard it and all my trousers now have elasticated
    bottoms to stop any leakage.We need vinyl.We need it now.

    3.Various - various -Sonny B - Denmark 12''
    Oh my goodie god.Just after i'd flipped over the Context 7'' the label
    drops a 12'' sooooo phat that you'll need to get a carpenter round your

    Bootylicious.Sound of the summer as the official release gets the real
    deal but good god ! If you flipped over Yam's re work of Raphael Sadiq
    then yo gotta get your listening gear on this new mix.They've only used
    the accapella...all the instrumentation is brand spankin.Is it naughty ?
    Of course it is but its sooooooo fresh n good that you'll forgive yam &
    his naughty cohorts time and time again.Wait till you hear his mix of
    only child featuring amp fiddler...to coin a phrase that cuki & i used
    to use at Bite Your Granny....''its all over,........Jazzanova.''

    9.KV5 -You Know This featuring Lyrical l -Prolifica - uk 12''
