I don’t mind this kind of track
(no, it’s not riddim)
but a lot of the label’s music is kinda sophisticated lounge music
that I’d rather experience played out with live instrumentation,
you know, watch the drummer & bassist…
otherwise a bit too smooth to my taste
in the same way some American jazz/hip-hop fusion
however well-played,becomes ritualized imo.
e.g. Robert Glasper.
Waddya reckon?
I’m in Sydney & this is on today.
not really a house person
but there’s some originals on this line-up
and I heard some nice fg & funky from Bradley zero on the radio

Dude, go!!
Leroy Burgess and Johnny Osbourne is there!
Larry Heard would be nice too.
Deff go!
Worth it for johnny osbourne
fuck I didn’t see this
went into town & spent gig money ($106!)
on records & books
Oh well, the house pioneers are my age
and if I wasn’t into them then
I can’t see them being satisfying now
and a mate suggested Mr Zero is more of a schmoozer than underground type
but Ghosthack…yeah, would’ve been cool.
btw, where the hell did yu dredge that ^ quote from sleepwank?
sorry guys, feel like I’ve let you down for vicarious adventure
but at least i’ll have new music & ideas to sound out.
just went and checked your ghosthack archive
Yeah, Larry Heard is def a House pioneer.
Leroy Burgess is a classic Disco / Boogie singer and producer and could be considered a House pioneer. His tunes would get played at Paradise Garage (where the term Garage came from).
Johnny Osbourne is a classic Reggae singer.
Oh gosh, almost forgot to post this:

yeah tbf just wanna shout out the don lady Sassy J. one of the wickedest selectors this miserable country ever saw.
yeah, sounded most interesting set I pulled up
as for Johnny Osbourne,
I listened to his stuff all thru 70s & 80s,
mainly stoned
and I think I’ve od’d.
Not to say it’s not lovely
but you’ve gotta move on yeah?
Otherwise I’d still be listening to Jefferson Airplane, Led Zepplin & the Banshees.
One thing I got out of record buying
was Stefan giving me his theory that trip hop owes it’s existence to this album:
and he pulled out Massive Attack samples as evidence.
(Couldn’t do same for Tricky tho)
What was Hendrix like live?
1 BigUp
Was too busy surfing & failing first year uni in 69 to get to Woodstock
but the first time I heard his music would’ve been maybe 66, around Monterey,
listening in the late night to an AM station in Melbourne, 3XX,
1000km away, static and all and recording it on a reel-to-reel tape.
Amazing to think that the people who saw Hendrix live in his early days of psychedelics
would have to be around 70 now & he’d be 75!
