Music And Everything To Do With Music

Is the Heart of the Sunrise a pulse? There is cholesterol?

Ah, the funny thoughts that you get when listening to songs by Yes, and then reads Jon Anderson's funky metaphysical lyrics. Song Reference: "Heart Of The Sunrise" by Yes, from the 1971-album "Fragile" and various compilations. http://music.yahoo.com/Yes/Heart-Of-The-Sunrise/lyrics/895726 # lyricstop

no pulse loads of HDL, as the wind can be so many around me I feel myself in the Lost City

Various Artists – Funky Funky Houston $15.97 Performers include: Americans Of `72, Bobo Mr. Soul, Sebastian Williams, Ambassadors Of Soul, Charles Berry & The Cherries, Americans Of `68, TSU Tornados, Ovide All-Stars, Mark Putney, Acres Of Grass, 4 Avalons."Hi, everybody, I`m Archie Bell and the Drells, from Houston, Texas" — with this proclamation of name and place, so begins Tighten Up one of the finest soul records of the late 1960s and a virtual template for the "Space City" funk to follow. Though it arrived on the national charts via Atlantic Records, Archie Bell & the Drells first cut Tighten Up for the Houston label Ovide — also home to the T.S.U. Toronados, and Ovide`s very own, homegrown version of Booker T. & the MG`s — the company virtually defined Houston soul and funk in and around the turn of the decade, establishing a signature sound driven by chicken-scratch guitars, sugar-sweet organs, and jazzy, propulsive horns. There`s nothing here quite so miraculous as "Tighten Up," but its spirit is present in all 17 of these cuts — highlights include the Americans of 72`s "Crackerjack," Sebastian Williams` "Get Your Point Over" and the Acres of Grass` "Football." ~ Jason Ankeny Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Various Artists – Funky Stuff $5.98 Producers include: George Clinton, Kool & The Gang, Larry Blackmon, Allen Jones, Con Funk Shun & Skip Scarborough.Compilation producer: Harry Weinger.Includes liner notes by Steven Ivory.For those looking to find a crash course in "the funk" — a quick introduction to the fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, blues, good old rock & roll, and all-out outrageousness that creates the ultimate good groove — you can`t do much better than the Funk Essentials compilations. Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials is the perfect portrait. With its contents drawn from the single-band Funk Essentials compilation albums, this clean, clear set provides incredible diversity while keeping the vibe connected. In other words, Funky Stuff is not only an introduction to the heaviest of hitters, but also a nifty, smooth ride for the already initiated. Opening with (of course!) Parliament`s seminal 1978 number one "Flashlight," included in its nearly 11-minute 12" extended version, it`s just a short hop to the bright brass of Kool & the Gang`s whistle-punctuated "Funky Stuff." Both bands are reprised a little later with "Tear the Roof off the Sucker (Give up the Funk)" and "Jungle Jazz," respectively. Rounding out the contemporary flow are Cameo`s old-school homage and first charting single, "Rigor Mortis," and Con Funk Shun`s brass- and bass-infused "Ffun." And, while these songs are familiar — and perfect for a compilation — Funky Stuff keeps the toes up with the inclusion of a couple of nice touches, including Hamilton Bohannon`s "Let`s Start the Dance" and the edgy guitar and vocal jam of Leon Haywood`s 1975 hit "I Want`a Do Something Freaky to You." The latter is especially welcome, as it`s such a classic old-style groove that`s often overlooked on contemporary collections. So, be you funk master looking for a jam-packed delight or a new schooler exploring the history, Funky Stuff becomes a valuable asset. ~ Amy Hanson Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Various Artists – Mastercuts Funky House $16.13 Does the packaging of Mastercuts: Funky House signify "funky" to you? If so, the three mixed discs inside the package should deliver for you. If you think of James Brown and Funkadelic — or, in modern dance terms, of Theo Parrish or even Chicken Lips — when someone mentions that something is funky, you will probably be disappointed. This set rounds up a bounty of tracks released during the early 2000s that may have been termed funky house. The bulk of it is melodic, glitzy European house, highlighted by Annie`s "The Greatest Hit," Holden & Thompson`s "Nothing [Sliver City Vocal Mix]," and Hakan`s "Barfly." ~ Andy Kellman Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

One of the strongest crossover funk labels of the last decade, Stones Throw pays due respect to modern music`s forgotten grandfathers on this most grooving recorded history lesson of impeccable quality. Anchored by the Highlighters` classic "The Funky 16 Corners," whereby the Indianapolis group upped the ante in 1969`s craze for bands counting "corners" (read: hit me three times!) by breaking the recorded benchmark with 16, this compilation leans heavily on the James Brown sect and celebrates the lesser-known groups of the genre, who with high talent and low budget put to tape some of the most raw funk ever captured to date. Representative modernist Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5 even gets an interpretation slot with "Bunky`s Pick" on one of two bonus tracks. Every track is essential to the record and every groove a lost gem. An informative 16-page booklet with full-color photos is inclu

Funky ABBA $16.98 In the ’70s and early ’80s, ABBA was one of the groups that most rock critics loved to hate. How could ABBA’s bubblegum Europop be so huge, critics wondered, at a time when challenging visionaries like Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Lou Reed were making records? But music doesn’t always have to be challenging, daring or provocative — it can simply entertain as long as it’s well done — and time has been much kinder to the Swedish outfit than those ’70s critics. Long after ABBA’s 1983 breakup, their recordings continue to sell — and in the ’90s and 2000s, ABBA covers have come from some unlikely places (including metal, industrial rock, techno and darkwave). This intriguing 2004 release finds Swedish trombonist/producer Nils Landgren putting a funk/neo-soul/hip-hop spin on ABBA’s songs, which works surprisingly well in an R&B-oriented environment. Then again, it isn’t all that surprising when you consider that ABBA had funk and disco influences. In their own glossy, sugary way, some of ABBA’s hits were funky — mildly funky, but funky nonetheless. So in some cases, Landgren takes Europop gems that already had a little funk to begin with — including “Voulez-Vous,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight”)” and “Money, Money, Money” — and gives them a great deal of funk. And even though ABBA’s classic versions of “Dancing Queen,” “SOS” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You” were a long way from hardcore R&B (more like hardcore Europop/Top 40), the tunes are certainly R&B-minded after Landgren interprets them. Employing various male and female vocalists, Landgren gives us some idea what the ABBA songbook might sound like in the hands of Jill Scott, R. Kelly, En Vogue or Erykah Badu. None of those artists are actually on this CD; regardless, Funky ABBA is, from an R&B standpoint, a creative success. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music GuidePerformers: Lars Danielsson – Bass (Electric); Karl-Martin Almqvist – Sax (Tenor); Benny Andersson – Piano; Till Brönner – Trumpet; Roberto Di Gioia – Keyboards; Sharon Dyall – Vocals; Wolfgang Haffner – Drums, Vocals (Background); Henrik Janson
