Classic funk material from the Gap Band with Shake used frequently in Hip Hop but the stand out is Open Up Your Mind. US original in lovely EX condition with cut corner.

Oustanding is top drawer 80s funk with head nodding guarantee. Lifted by everyone in Hip Hop from Ice Cube to Biggie. Don't miss the boogie groover Early In The Morning which is equally good. German pressing in stunni...

Not that many solid disco and boogie funk releases to come out of Austria but this is one of them. Future World, Prelude, Black Hole Five, at least five tracks of excellent cosmic grooves laid out for mixing and danci...

The Hair cast goes to church with all the classics and a handful of new interpretations. Check Galt MacDermot getting busy on the St John's Cathedral organ. Flawless backstock copy, gatefold cover has cut out.

Galt MacDermot teaming up with the leding actors from Hair to record DisinHAIRited which I am unsure of is supposed to be a predecessor or succesor to the huge succes. Either way, a great effort and result. US origina...

Great upbeat Swedish Bossa Jazz on crispy clean Metronome original from 1967. Soul Dance, Bossa Bova Usa and Autumn Leaves stand out but a lovely listen all the way.

Essential album that is a top 10 of all time best Bossa Nova recordings. A very enjoyable experience from start to finish by the young Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso. Second Brazilian pressing in great condition.

MPB album from Gal Costa holding some mellow bossa tracks and the odd boogie flavoured dancer. Listen to Acence O Crepusculo. Brasilian original, gatefold cover with edge wear.

Endulding in Brazilian music without exploring Gal Costa is impossible. From her early involvement with Caetano Veloso on Domingo to her 80s pop recordings she had an amizing carreer. This '78 release has Jobim, Velos...

Bob James production with Gabor Szabo joined by DeJohnette, Cobham, Carter & Ralph MacDonald on percussion. Nice mix of original compositions and a few soulful covers like a great version of Summer Breeze. German orig...

New discovery and in all ways a positive surprise. Unique blend of jazz and ethno folk recorded for Krem Records in Budapest. Small run with limited distribution so not an easy find. Spotless EX plus plus condition.

Seldom seen Gabino Pampini release on Mercy Records with an all Salsa affair. No Volvere and La Ventana stand out. Weak VG+ condition with some light marks but plays well, cover has a little tape on upper seam.

Top choice compilation with 10 years of finest samba settings from the Vila Isabel stable. Melodic yet fast and pumping sambas that you will likely find it hard sitting still to. Top Tape original straight out of Rio....

G.E.N.E. reads Grooving Electronic Natural Environment so you can likely guess the direction. New Age but nicely varied in style and pulling inspirations from many fronts. Listen to a snippet of the meditative Good Mo...

Crazy rare ambient / jazz recording by British guitarist Graham Peter Hall. Anyone into the ambient or generally working with a sampler should check this out but could also sit well in a jazz guitar collection. Not a ...

Nice cosmic tinged electronica scores with half the album credited to the Funky Space Orchestra and the other half to Les Baxter and Neil Norman. Check the fantastic b-boy electro groover Odyssee Im Weltraum.

Scarce Euro only 80s funk release with a handful upbeat boogie steppers. My highlights are Tip Touch and Eyes. Listen to the soundclip for an idea of what to expect. Archive copy.

Solo bamboo flute work by Fujiro Yuasa. Blissful relaxing stuff from first to last groove. The path to peace...

US Columbia first pressing of an essential 90s Hip Hop release. This was a big album and for many good reasons with Lauren, Pras and Wyclef mixing quality rhymes with caribbean originality and soulful vibes. Decent VG...

Super scarce Swiss wave / jazz-rock album that does not show up often. Schnee Forever, Euro Tango and Zürinacht stand out in my ears. Copy is signed by all four band members. Rare and unusual.
