The Wolfgang Press - Bird Wood Cage

Enough dark to satisfy old gothic fan base, and under the influence of the then trends in music, refreshed with dance elements, this album is something that avoids genre, and to me, personally, always interesting adventure :)

P.S.
This is the original version of the album, which is available only on vinyl and don't contain bonus tracks, the one I prefer  :)

Chuck Prophet - Soap and Water

Chuck Prophet is engaged with commercial sound, there is no doubt. And it works very well. And given that a good song is imperative of any genre, and if we take as a criterion necessity for adaptation to today's sound, through production, this album stands as one of the pillars of popular music.
Unstable statement, you say, but check it yourself :)

James Brown - The Payback

Knowing several live albums of James Brown, I realized that I mostly dissatisfied with them. While undoubtedly made of the great songs, I had objections, in the first place, with rarely changing repertoire, and for me never quite clear thing, completely ignoring songs from this fantastic album, which as a whole is definition of hypnotic funk ... You know, maybe the audience expected always the same hits, but I'm not interested in it at all. After all, there is the question of why anyone even record that huge amount of songs,  without giving them a chance to live ..
Basically, pandering to the audience, as for me, Is just tapping in one place and i have no motive to see artist on concert again. But, does that means you do not need to listen to this wild album? On the contrary, it should be consumed in large quantities :)

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen... We Are Floating in Space

Both bands which Jason Pierce had, Spiritualized and Spacemen 3, are described as hypnotic and psychedelic, and it's hard to deny ... as well as their quality, after all. However, what's attracted me the most, was their, somewhat in the background, rock talent.
And like a proof of my submission is this great rock record  :)

Bootsy Collins - Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band

What you can say about Bootsy. He played bass in James Brown band in time when late JB invented Funk, helping him to create it. Then he moved to Parliament \ Funkadelic, most imaginative and probably best Funk band ever. In middle of that he started solo carrier and prove himself like one of main players in '70. Do you remember big world hit of the nineties "Groove Is in the Heart"? Guess who play bass there? So, Bootsy created history and i don't see any sense to miss that part. But you shouldn't think about history, just play it loud and feel the groove  :)

Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale

In my salad days i started with heavy metal. Later, i dismiss this genre completely (except Slayer, maybe). I wanted different kind of heaviness, something real. I'll remember Iggy Pop concert, during the nineties, he always had some heavy metal guys for his supporting band. By default they should be dangerous, yes? Motorbikes, tatoos, Satan, leather, etc. They may be dangerous, but old Iggy is nuclear bomb. And during the whole concert, his own band run away from him like rabbits. It was very funny to me. So ..... metal is for girls, not heavy at all :) But, in those metal days i had Stevie Wonder's LP "Talking book" on my wall, from my parents, probably. And, I went in, suspiciously, and discovered a whole new world. From that time i'm into more complex picture and lot of thing is passed through my ears (with very strict criteria, i must say).
And what about today's post? Today's post is simply elegant :)

Parliament - Motor Booty Affair

You have a bad day? Or it's too cold, maybe? I have simple solution. Play this album and move your hips, because you are ear to ear with one of all time greatest dance albums. And if  you think this is all, you are terrible wrong. Also, every songs is a hit, but approach to music is highly experimental, production is up to date and the year is 1978, not to mention underwater concept as leitmotif.....Take a breath and go deep...
