Outspan |
| The "maybe my standards are too high May 2001 chart" | |
| 1. Earth Wind & Fire
: runnin' : CBS 1977 Some people might think that EWF contributed more to the image of disco as a money-driven business than to music, but you just can't look past this funky masterpiece from the 1977 album 'All 'n All'. Pápáyáh... 2. Pleasure Ride : (no title) : Mainsqueeze The IG Culture man (New Sector Movements on People) adds his own touch again... 3. Donald Byrd : thank you for F.U.M.L. F.U.M.L. stands for 'funking for up my life' or what do you think? Byrd was scourned by jazz purists after his move to jazzfunk and eletronic instruments, but albums like Street Lady and this F.U.M.L. prove them wrong. 4. Phoojun : someatime : Archive Spacy beats that remind me of the great FreeZone series. A little bit nostalgia in this world of speedgarage, 2step, hardhouse and jungle... |
