New Flesh - Transition / Bound

One more post for today, had to quickly put these two track's up from New Flesh's 2002 'Understanding' LP which came out on Big Dada records. I forgot how good the whole LP sounds in general and at how fresh it still sounds almost six years on.

Shade Of Soul feat. Mani Hoffman - Our Music

Many apologies for all the old tracks, I will post some newer ones up soon when I get around to it but I've just been going through a lot of older stuff recently. It's always a nice surprise to come across something you'd completely forgotten about. Heres another one from 2001 by Shade Of Soul who again I don't know anything about but I know the singer of this track, Mani Hoffman, also sang the pretty dire 'Starlight' by Supermen Lovers in the same year....this makes up for it though.

Marc Alphonse - Contentment In Humidity

I don't know much about this except that it came out in 2001 on a new label at the time called 'Omoa Music' which I haven't heard from since. I also believe it was co-produced by Recloose. If anyone knows anymore info on it or what ever happened to Marc Alphonse or Omoa Music, I'd be quite interested to know. The same sampler this is on also has another great track which was quite big at the time I remember...Ayro's brilliant 'Let This Love'.

Arthur Russell - Wild Combination

Sorry about the lack of posts recently. I've come back from holiday and been busy trying to sort stuff out now that I've finished being a student. Not looking forward to entering the real world at all. Anyways, heres a classic track from an artist that I didn't fully appreciate at first in my naive youth but who's work I quickly grew to really love. I highly recommend 'The World Of Arthur Russell' comp that came out on Soul Jazz records a few years back for anyone new to his work and anyone interested in good music in general for that matter. I also recently heard about this which I'm looking forward to. Buy more Arthur Russell, you won't regret it...
