No More Negativity
Hi Everyone ,Soul Guru here in an apologetic mood ......
I started this blog to write about Music For The Soul but recently is has become a series of anti-music biz rants ! Although criticism where due will always be a feature of my blog negativity is what is killing the business and I want this blog to go back to music so from now on NO MORE NEGATIVITY ! !
I want to draw your attention to some great artists ,not all " new " whose music is floating my boat right now :
1) Georgia Ann Muldrow ,especially the totally awesome Kings Ballad album ...think Afro-centric Paliament/.Funkadelic crossed with Ursula Rucker and you may get close ...just listen to the title track ,a lament for Michael Jackson and you will get the picture
2) Photek: one of the GREAT pioneers of drum and bass and electronic music in general ,new EP "Avalanche " is amazing ,particularly " Sunburst "
3) Kassandra " King Of The Dancehall " : write it down and remember
4) Morgan Zarate : Head Honcho of my favourite label ,Hyperdub ,had Hookit EP out - if you liked Spacek or like Hyperdub then this is for you
5) Cassius " I Love You So ( Skream remix ) .....OMfuckingG ! !
6) " Let The Children Techno " comp featuring Skream ,Mr.Oizo and Cassius on the BEST electronic/club/etc label Because
7) Wayne Giddens ; the new Curtis Mayfield /Bobby Womack ,remember and write down
8) Patrina : The Samba sade ?
9) Talib Kweli : Ghetto Rainbows album ...incredible new conscious hip-hop
10 ) John Legend & The Roots Live i-tunes gig CD ...utterly brilliant
There you go ,that's your homework.........God it feels GOOD to be POSITIVE again
TSG loves YOU X
