Funkadelic : Flashlight 12" Version. A song that will truly exhaust you.

James Brown : Cold Sweat (Live At The Apollo Theatre). Im only picking one song from each artist.....

Prince : Housequake (Sign O' The Times) This album needs to be remastered.

Aaron Nevile : Hercules (Have it on a compilation) Listen to that bass line!

Mr. Fancypants

Hey Samba, just noticed your inclusion of Fela Kuti, have you got the Red Hot and Riot album? Its bloody fantastic, a tribute album to Fela Kuti has loads of great artists doing his songs. People like D'angelo, Lateef, Gift Of Gab, Dead Prez, Bilal, Talib Kweli, Meshell Ndegeocello and Femi Kuti is on a few tracks too.

There is a version of Water No Get Enemy that blows my socks off anyhow.
You can get it through Play if your interested.

Samba

I don't mboarders but I have heard it, his albums are a RIP off to buy here, seen one for 50 Eur


Tell me you didn't miss the Femi Kuti gig?, breath taking.


Two names I also forgot.


Pulp Fusion

Mandrill.

Lucutus

I'm assuming he means http://www.play.com

I could be wrong tho.

Megadude

Sly and The Family Stone's - There's a Riot goin on

...is one of the strongest, grooviest, laid back funk albums I've ever heard. Its so raw and amazing. No tacky brass, no endless chanting, no mindless wandering. This album is what funk should be. Pure, soulful, gritty, unbelievably groovy. I recommend it. :cool:

Mr. Fancypants

Yep, was talking about www.play.com . I missed the Femi Kuti gig and have been kicking myself (was out of Dublin at the time) you are the first person i heard that went to it tho'. What was it like?

I just bought two albums by Betty Davis. As in the once wife of Miles Davis. You can't buy her albums anywhere in Ireland, so I bought them online from a place in Massachusets, USA. And OH MY GOD!!! There are THE RAWEST, HARDEST, Most Rockin Funk albums ever! I bought:


Betty Davis - Nasty Gal

and


Betty Davis - They say I'm Different


.....the fact that these albums aren't available in Ireland is a crime. She Growls like James Brown, but also sings quite sultry and laid back like Stevie Wonder sometimes, but the thing that makes her albums unique is The Raw riff power, filthy raunchy lyrics, pounding Bass lines, snappy drum grooves, and bouncy clavinets, clavichords. No wonder they weren't allowed play it on the radio here in the 70's. All of her albums were made from 1970 - 75. I highly recommend her albums for anybody who loves Funk, but can do without all of the cheesiness. Betty Davis is a Legend!:cool:
