Rebel's quest for old-skool joy in contemporary grooves
... was unsuccesfull. No new stuff that manages to escape cheap every day deep house and drum 'n bass formulas. One boring month for new releases I tell ya.
Outspan's fat bag of raregroove goodies
1. Spyro Gyra and ... (MCA) This track has it all: pumpin' slide bass, spacy moogs, thriving sax. This track has what it takes to make my day, this track has wat it takes to become a living proof of the fact that it is better to spin one decent old-skool track than 10 boring recent releases. 2. Blackbyrds enter in (Fantasy) One that grabs you by the nuts from the first second. Entrancing vocals and Byrd-patented melodies make this track an excellent one for the Ye Olde Homebased Sound System. Fuck Cheap Disco 3. Brass Construction get up to get down (UA) Plain Class-A-Funk B*O*M*B. It doesn't get any phatter than Randy & Co. '5' album. Put on to funk out. 4. MFSB my mood (Philadelphia) Downtempo journey across cheesy sax and occasional funk guitar. A landscape filled with dorkey post-Woodstock experiences and search for inner-self lays out the perfect base for ego-renovation. Dexter, where are you ... Dexter? Dexteeerrrr !!! 5. Brass Construction watch out (here we come) (UA) Another of those stompin' blowyourassandyourmindwillstayintact album nr. '5' is filled with. Randy's Assault Team strikes again. 'Slide bass dampening field is off-line captain.' 'I know, Spock, we are no match for those black east-coast aliens. All we can do is pray and hope we  don't get funked up, like, totally.' 6. Cloud One atmosphere strut (???) "... there's more in life than disco juice ..." 7. Stetsasonic talkin' all that jazz (Tommy Boy) Is that hiphop? Is that f**in hiphop in this fu**in chart ?? Get outta here man ... 8. Ubiquity midnight after dark (Elektra) A perfect way to end this month's old skool chart, filled with classic stuff to butter your behind, this one's steamy hot party funk by the band of Roy Ayers.
