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, Rovi Performers: Lars Danielsson – Bass (Electric); Benny Andersson – Piano; Henrik Janson – Guitar; Jesper Nordenström – Keyboards; Karl-Martin Almqvist – Sax (Tenor); Magnum Coltrane Price – Synthesizer, Vocals; Nils Landgren – Trombone, Vocals; Per Lindvall – Drums; Roberto Di Gioia – Keyboards

Long regarded as Japan’s number one DJ, the grand imperial DJ Muro is the self proclaimed ‘King Of Digging’ and boasts a long list of credentials which more than back up the claim. A Tokyo native who burst onto Japan’s nascent domestic hip-hop scene in the late 1980s part of the Krush Posse with DJ Krush and Go, Muro’s musical story finds him at various points wearing the hats of rapper, DJ, producer and remixer. His group Microphone Pager was the first Japanese rap crew to earn an international release (‘Planet Rap’, Tommy Boy, 1992), but it wasn’t until a visit to New York in 1996 and his guest spots on underground radio mix shows that his worth as a DJ began to win recognition. In 1997 he opened his store ‘Savage’ in Tokyo, and his record label ‘Incredible’ followed a year later. 1999 saw the release of his celebrated collaboration with NYC icons Lord Finesse and A.G., ‘The Vinyl Athletes.’
That Fatback Band were enormously influential to the advent of modern hip-hop is an undisputed fact. But it’s important, too, to remember how vital the group was to the 1970s funk scene — laying down reverberatingly heavy grooves without antics, combining a tough New York back story with surprising calypso breaks just for fun, and unerringly bringing feet to the dancefloor with unsurpassed energy and finesse. It’s odd, and sad really, that listeners would have to be reminded of this via an outstanding U.K. import. With 11 tracks highlighting the best of Fatback Band’s 1974-1979-era output, leaning heavily on mid-decade nuggets, there is not one moment to sit back and take a breather. From the brass that kicks off 1974′s “Mr Bass Man,” which remains one of the most overlooked funk jams to ever hit the streets, to the calypso backbeat that makes “Wicky Wacky” irrepressible and the rolling bass and hooky guitars that drive “Happy,” there is not one ounce of wasted space. Also of note is the incredibly textured “(Hey) I Feel Real Good,” which just vibrates — a crash of harmonies, horns, deep beats, and rock riffs that would feel out of control in anyone else’s hands. While the band enjoyed a massive singles-chart run in the U.S., it’s interesting that only two of those hits are included here, but the album is better in the long run because of it. Rather than a chronological rehashing of what everyone else liked, Funky focuses on those stellar moments that allowed Fatback to take their place in the upper echelon of funk. And even thought the majority of the songs fell by the wayside, it’s refreshing to see them all on Funky, splashed across a flawless set. This is absolutely crucial listening. ~ Amy Hanson, Rovi

All these people emerged as prosperous entrepreneurs and their success stories are a lesson to learn from. These entrepreneurs did not start their venture with a lot more intelligence or a lot more wealth. Indeed, they all had the talent to move on and were equipped with a vision, dedication, commitment, inspiration and innovation.
But one of the central elements that drove them to success was time management.
An average individual is able to attain mediocre results from some allotted time; however, a wise entrepreneur makes the most use of that time. He/she is gifted with the ability to utilize time perfectly and to obtain results from every single minute spent.
They realize the value of every moment and work hard to make it worthwhile.
Maximize Time and Money
Successful entrepreneurs take certain steps that put them on the path to maximum productivity and profits.
The following are some measures entrepreneurs take to ensure sound business operations:
1. Outsourcing: Outsourcing is the key to getting work done on time with minimal resources. Outsourcing helps entrepreneurs to hire external workers to perform certain tasks; in this fashion, entrepreneurs save time, money and efforts.
All this results in the ability to conduct business operations smoothly and to tackle competition better.
2. Gathering A Team of Business Experts: Entrepreneurs ensure that the team involved in the business is filled with professionals specialized in their respective fields.
A good committed team works hard to meet business objectives and remains committed to the purpose.
Further, expert team members perform their tasks efficiently to maximize business profits and growth. This, in turn, helps entrepreneurs attract investors for its projects.
3. Using Rather Than Fearing Technology: Technology has emerged into every aspect of life. It has helped to make business processes more convenient and swift.
Successful entrepreneurs employ technology to their advantage; they exploit the various benefits it offers by incorporating technological advances in every aspect of the business. This helps to reduce costs in the long run and to improve productivity.
4. Hiring The Right People: A business is only as strong and successful as the people working for it. This implies that a business venture can meet objectives provided that the entrepreneur as well as the team is knowledgeable and experienced in the field.
Without either, success will seem like an illusion.
According to Harvard Business School a staggering 40% of business failure can be laid at the feet of hiring the wrong people!
5. Using a Daily To-Do List: Entrepreneurs realize the value of time and remain organized by setting a to-do list. This helps to divide time appropriately to various tasks and ensures timely completion of daily goals. This is an important requirement to manage time and resources.
Increasingly, entrepreneurs are recognizing the need to manage time; this includes the use of tools and techniques that help to plan and schedule time. This entails the setting of goals and priorities.
An entrepreneur should seriously plan, prioritize, control and manage the functions of his/her business. This will help to improve productivity and to manage challenges proactively.
