the land. This second LP is the best single album from the act, which soon imploded, owing to an over-abundance of talent. Bug-eyed vocalist Morris Day and guitarist Jesse Johnson went on to semi-successful solo careers; keyboardist Jimmy Jam and bassist Terry Lewis became a mega-platinum writing/production team (Janet Jackson, most notably); drummer extraordinaire Jellybean Johnson and keyboardist Monte Moir were the other members. Co-produced by Day and Jamie Starr (a.k.a. Prince), this six-song 1982 effort sports three wall-rattling party-starters: the self-explantory "Wild and Loose," the tongue-in-cheek dance tune "The Walk," and the still-percolating, knotty-but-nice rhythms of "777-9311."

on his Abstract Logix debut. Though widely regarded as one of the top fusion drummers around, the Yorkshire native concentrates on his jazzier side with Gary Husband's Drive on Hotwired , a propulsively swinging quartet outing on which a lot of his most important jazz drum influences emerge, including Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, John Von Ohlen, Jack DeJohnette and Mel Lewis. "This project was very much born out of the inspiration I derived from a lot of the great American bands that I used to go see at places like Ronnie Scott's club in London. Elvin Jones would bring his band through, as did Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and both Ralph Peterson, Jr. and Jeff 'Tain' Watts have done the same in recent years. Seeing all of t...  (less)

Swedish studio musicians, some beautiful Swedish hippie nymphs and a bunch of drugged out freaks, recorded two ultra rare LPs called Belinda and The Daughters of Belinda. Both of these which are now mega rare collectors items that never turn up, even in Sweden. These two masterpieces, with their XXX-rated lyrics, were recorded with both Swedish and English lyrics but only the Swedish language versions were ever released. Even though adds were put out in both Screw magazine and Mayfair the English language versions were kept in the can. Until now! Subliminal Sounds presents both versions on one CD complete with extended liner notes telling the previously untold story of how this came to be. Great groovy, funky acid erotica wi...  (less)
