right now i'm listening to Cloud One's Greatest Hits. it's a spacey, soulful disco album.

Hello Migente peeps!! Thank you for dropping by my page. I enjoy meeting new peeps from other sites and sounds.
2 give you a breif description about myself, first and foremost involves music. My entire life pretty much revolves around making music. It is a passion and craft that I have been married to for quite some time. I currently lead sing in a psycadelic Romantic R&B band called SOUL DIVINE.

jaxon, which isley brothers albums should i get?

― Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

the owner of ABB Records (an oakland based hip hop label) is B3ni B, a big, sorta thugged out black dude. he's kind of a dick, and he stutters a LOT. sometimes when he's mad it takes him like 5minutes to get one sentence out. when i first started doing work for them (i did their last website), i asked him for a contract and he said "i don't do contracts, my word is bond".

so anyways i'm doing this cd cover and i have like only a weekend to do it instead of a few weeks and shit gets kind of messed up. so he's screaming at me over the phone for like half an hour (it was probably only two or three sentences he was trying to say) and he says, "WHERE DO YOU LIVE?!" and i said downtown, and he said, "NAH, NAH WHAT STREETS DO YOU LIVE AT?!" and i said, "why you coming to get me?" and he says, "YOU WON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING TO GET YOU!!"

so that was the last work i did for him (maybe 3yrs ago). i just saw him two-three weeks ago and said, "what's up beni" and stuck my hand out for a shake. he looked at me, looked away and said, "sup" and didn't shake my hand.

HEY, I MADE YOU THAT MIX ADAM!! YAY!

did you get PAID?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

nah, i gave him the mix for free. he's my friend

ian, i don't think you could go wrong with any of the early to mid 70s Isley records. i picked up all of mine in dollar bins.

i have Live It Up (74), The Heat Is On (75), & Go For Your Guns (77) and they're all burners. Ernie Isley is a fucking guitar god. dunno why Eddie Hazel is getting all the love (i do think he's GREAT too), but there is some super tasty fuzz on all these albums

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 22 November 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone ever heard The "5" Royales "The Slummer The Slum"? Excellent track.

― Sonny, Ah!!1 (Sonny A.), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

a friend of a friend wants to start doing a little cd trading group where you meet like, i dunno, once a month or something and make a mix cd to give to the group. it sounds like it could be really cool, but i don't know any of them and think they're gonna be typical indie/hiphop/house type people (if they're anything like my friend) and don't know if i'd want the cds they'd bring (there's only so much iron & wine i can listen to - none!) and i dunno if they'd want to listen to shit i'd have for them (country, soft rock, commercial hip hop).

so i thought about doing a psych-soul cd, but i only have all my shit on record and i'm just way too lazy to download all the shit i'd want to put on it and i'm not even sure i could find most of it on Limewire, so i think i'm just not gonna go.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 01:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Shuggie Otis - Aht Uh Mi Hed
this song = jam!!!!

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

does jaxon like alec r costadinos?

― charltonlido (gareth), Saturday, 22 January 2005 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD ALL LISTEN TO "I JUST GOT BACK" BY PARLIAMENT

WHISTLING SOLO

― Sonny, Ah!!1 (Sonny A.), Saturday, 22 January 2005 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

gareth, that name sounds really familiar, but i don't know anything about him. what's he sound like. the name makes him sound like he's some sort of electro-italo disco

― Hella Fitzgerald (JasonD), Sunday, 23 January 2005 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm currently listening to Lenny Williams (sampled by Kanye on that one Twista "Overnight Celebrity" song) and i just got finished listening to the Shuggie Otis album right before Inspiration Information.

i think they only thing i've listened to for the past 2-3months has been soul & funk

― Hella Fitzgerald (JasonD), Sunday, 23 January 2005 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

so, gareth, i looked up Alec R Costandinos and the reason i thought he'd be a euro-disco dude, is because he is! he cowrote Cerrone's "Love In C Minor" which i love.

― Hella Fitzgerald (JasonD), Sunday, 23 January 2005 00:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i have costandino's romeo & juliet disco epic. it's epic.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 23 January 2005 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

get The Hunchback of Notre Dame, thats another epic concept-prog-disco thing, phoebus & esmerelda is supreme

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 23 January 2005 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i picked up Hunchback last night. only 3$. very good, very epic. such corny photo on cover.

wife: what is this shit? it's so gay!
me: yes, wife, it is gay. it is.

and then proceed to me singing, "i like disco, cause disco likes me!" and "i like frisco, cause frisco likes me!" also, i think crisco and sysco (the malt liquor*) were thrown in the mix.

*fuck, looking for sysco on the web, i found the weirdest fucking site, a malt liquor message board. what the hell are we doing here?!

it's a west coast thing, you wouldn't understand.

it's a west coast thing, you wouldn't understand.

scratch "a west coast thing" and replace with "a California thing".

nah, there are lot of dumb new yorkers who love that shit too.

ATTENTION AXION JAXON

are you "down" with Andy Bey?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 18 February 2005 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i've got Max Roach's "Members Don't Git Weary" that he sings on. pretty great album. not sure it's worth all the hype i've seen surrounding it, but good still.

i've been meaning to pick up "Experience & Judgement" (the one where his head looks like a planet with saturn's rings) for years now, but for some reason just haven't.

do you have any of his stuff?

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 18 February 2005 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't he kinda like Leon Thomas?

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 18 February 2005 09:20 (twenty-one years ago)

so, some of my favorite soul finds in the past few months (i just noticed they're all southern soul shit):

Swamp Dogg - thank you adam. i'd heard about him and written him off as a blues singer, and then i saw a Psychedelic Soul primer in the Wire and right after adam told me i'd like him, so i pick up a greatest hits (the one where he looks like a hotdog!) and he's fab. not really so psychedelic (some crazy echo on one song, but mostly not). he's just an amazing southern soul singer with a really emotional voice. the song "The Baby Is Mine" is fucking fantastic. adam, i'd still like to hear the first album of his that you have.

Solomon Burke - i think i downloaded one of his songs by accident, but it really sparked something in me. i still don't own any of his albums, but like Swamp Dogg, he's a super emotional southern soul singer. all his albums i've seen in stores either look really early (early 60s) and vanilla, or really late (80s-90s?) and super christian. kinda scary either which way.

Shaolin Soul - i don't actually own either of these 2 comps, but they're all the original samples from the Wu Tang and affiliates. i typed this into Lime wire and got so many amazing songs. tons of Hi Records type shit that i already have (Al Green, Syl Johnson, Anne Peebles, OV Wright), but the one song that fucking floored me was Wendy Rene's "After Laughter Comes Tears". gah. i've listened to it like 40 times this week. oh, and New Birth's "Honey Bee" is a fucking killer. i accidentally downloaded the wallflowers* song called "Honeybee" and was listening to it in my headphones and totally confused that it sounded like The Band. surprisingly it wasn't a terrible song, but i deleted it from my ipod.

* haha. i just remembered one time i was on the El in chicago and this crazy guy started talking to me (as they ALWAYS do), and he kept asking me if i was Bob Dylan's son. and then he started singing whatever big his was out of theirs at the time.

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

JaXoN's SOUL glo!!!!

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, JaXoN -- Experience and Judgement, that's the record I had in mind when I revived this thread. I think you would like it! It's pretty funky. He doesn't sound too much like Leon Thomas -- at least, he certainly don't do the yodelling thang. I guess the grains of their voices are kinda similar. Very deep. I mean, I suppose Bey's voice does take a bit of getting used to, but I love it. I think he's a pretty unique singer. The lyrics are really goofy hippy shit, about positivity and not eating meat and things like that. Great record!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i guess i kinda look like him?

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

ha xpost, there he is!

JaXoN, how did you like that Mandel record? I think it's pretty bro'd out myself.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 18 February 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i've lisetened to it tons in stores and always sorta wanted it, really fuzzed out, but it's always more than like 7$, so i finally found it for 3$ and swooped it up. i haven't listened to it yet for realz though

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 18 February 2005 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

One good later one of his to get is Baby Batter ,if you see it. Top breakbeat on the title cut!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 18 February 2005 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

so i listened to all of that Harvey Mandel album. pretty great. that first song has been sampled in something, but i just can't remember. the second song with the super long sustain on those notes is like proto-Frippertronics. pretty badass.

also got that andy bey record and i am so surprised how great it is. i read some lukewarm reviews of it, so i wasn't sure, but it's super warm and funky. it's kinda like Terry Callier meets Bitches Brew. thanks stormy again for suggesting i get it.

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 21 February 2005 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Osborne led the group through further hits like the 1977 No. 1 R&B and Top 5 pop smash "Back In Love Again" and "Holding On (When Love Is Gone)," one platinum and two gold albums, before stepping out on his own in 1980. With the release of his first self-titled solo LP in 1982, "Jeffrey Osborne," he found himself chart-bound via hits like "On The Wings Of Love"

― LaToya JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 21 February 2005 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Those Shaolin Soul comps are great, but everyone I know who has heard them has downloaded them. are they actually affordable/in most stores?

― Sonny, Ah!!1 (Sonny A.), Monday, 21 February 2005 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool, JaXoN, I'm glad you liked the rekkerd! Yeah, I sometimes get nervous recommending things because I don't want people to regret spending their hard earned money on something they might not like, but I had a good feeling you'd dig that Bey thing.

He also does some singing on these Gary Bartz albums from around the same time period; I haven't picked them up yet but I've heard a couple of the tracks and they are pretty good.

that Jeffrey Osborne song rulez! on the wing of loooooooove, only the two of us, we'll both be something something. takes me back, man.

Anyone ever hear this LA Carnival disc? Came out on Now-Again a few years ago. I heard this tune in a store last weekend and had to buy it right away. The whole record is solid--kind of a funkier, harder Charles Wright.

jaxon have you heard the four tet remixes of sa-ra? I really liked their remix of that one four tet track, it was like that weather report one you YSI'ed!

― rez one-bagger (haitch), Monday, 6 February 2006 00:45 (twenty years ago)

four tet is kinda lame... so much meh.,,, WHY DO INDIES LIKE THEM

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Monday, 6 February 2006 00:47 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I have heard a fout tet track, apart from this one remix! those indies suuuuure do like them though.

― rez one-bagger (haitch), Monday, 6 February 2006 00:49 (twenty years ago)

i think i've only heard the fourtet remix of a Jay Dee track. can you YSI? (i'll look around and do the same w/mine).

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 February 2006 03:11 (twenty years ago)

yep, will do when I get home.

and finally, i was watching Flash Dance this morning and there was this song that i was stoked on and started a thread on ILM that no one answered. but here's the track.

Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Just Begun

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 February 2006 03:58 (twenty years ago)

JaXon you didn't know that Jimmy Castor Bunch track -- I'm shocked! "How far you going back?" "WAY back!"

also why didn't you tell me 'Prog is Not a Four Letter Word' is so amazing?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 6 February 2006 04:41 (twenty years ago)

dude Andy Votel is my new hero. i haven't heard anything he's put out that hasn't been amazing.

― team jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 6 February 2006 04:44 (twenty years ago)

I just wish that first track by that Italian group would go on forever -- total synth bliss

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 6 February 2006 04:49 (twenty years ago)

have you heard Franco Battiato's "Sulle Corde di Aries"? it's been a while since i've heard it, but that first track really reminds me of that album. really circular, jazz influenced prog minimalism
