Corrina Joseph

Was going through some old CD's and came across these Basement Jaxx produced gem's from 96/97 which still sound really good in my opinion. Most people probably have them in some shape or form but thought I'd quickly share them for anyone who possibly doesn't. Unfortunately couldn't seem to find her great cover of 'Baby I'm Scared Of You' but will post when/if I do.

Corrina Joseph - Lonely (Original Mix)

Corrina Joseph - Live Your Life With Me (Original Mix)

Corrina Joseph - Live Your Life With Me (Slow 'n' Low Edit)

On A Sunny Day....

Bit of a quick post since not many decent records laying around the office today. This rare groove classic is sounding particularly good again though, especially in this weather. Sampled numerous times over the years but the original is still where it's at...


Michael Wycoff - Looking Up To You (1982)

VA - Mark Pritchard Presents Feel The Spirit

Great collection of 'Other worldy folk music gems and psychedelics' compiled by the man with numerous aliases. A few words from Mr. Pritchard from the inlay - "...basically I've never been a massive fan of traditional folk music. However I would always have a dig through the folk section in second hand record stores because every now and then I would come across a certain style of folk that would give me chills. Call it 'Folk Funk' or 'Soft Psych' or even 'Acid Folk', but what interests me with these tracks is that you can hear that the musicians are drawing on a lot of different influences and styles: Jazz, Prog, Soul, Experimental music; to create something new and original..."

Tracklisting
01 Heaven and Earth - Feel The Spirit
02 Air - Mr Man
03 Sunforest - Magician in The Mountain
04 Hard Meat - Free Wheel
05 Fairport Convention - Autopsy

VA - Teutonik Disaster

"Just like Kraut-Rock stemmed from an appreciation of anglo-saxon music allied with the will to translate it into a Germanised environment, there seems to have been a no-wave German scene, spawn from some sort of Teutonik Disaster, and necessarily something different and maladjusted when compared to the original NYC blueprint. Gomma artist Munk here compiles the most thrilling cuts, and am quite confident for many of the most knowledgeable heads completely unknown classics. The tracklisting showcases a similar evolution as that of NYC and from no-rock to early Electro styles, it's a pure pleasure to immerse oneself's into tongue in cheek stormers - Schalaraffenland-, dancefloor stompers - Lover's Walkmen- and of course complete nutcases - Gilda, Steril, Musik Musik Musik. Dat comp's consistency is simply impressive." Thanks to Tigersushi for the review.

Tracklisting
01 Explorer - Yellow Power
02 Exkurs - Fakten Sind Terror
03 Carmen - Schlaraffenland

VA - DJ Morpheus Presents I Can't Live Without My Radio

"Tracked by DJ Morpheus (a.k.a. Samy Birnbach)-former singer of early-'80s post-punks Minimal Compact- Can't Live Without My Radio is from/for the cassette generation. Featuring artists like Virgin Prunes, Love & Rockets, Heaven 17, Shriekback, Head, Timezone feat. John Lydon & Afrika Bambaataa, Thrill Kill Kult, 23 Skidoo, and Einst¸rzende Neubauten, this compilation (not "mix") embodies the dry, oblique architecture of '80s college radio captured to Dolby Noise Reduction tape during a Goth-meets-"glam savage" overnight slot. Here, rigid, rhythmic underpinnings vie with murky collages under scorched gloss, coagulating in industrial punk-funk New Wave/New Beat. Urban and humid, while sinister and sterile, songs such as Age of Chance's appropriation of Prince's "Kiss" are as much about gleefully marring pop's veneer as they are calculated designs for social and stylistic change." Thanks to xlr8r

Tracklisting
01 Jeff And Jane Hudson - Alamos
02 The Residents - Kaw-Liga (Moody Boys Remix)
03 Virgin Prunes - Pagan Lovesong
04 Medium Medium - Hungry, So Angry

06 Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
07 Shriekback - Accretions (Monstrous Dance Mix)
08 That Petrol Emotion - Dance Your Ass Off
09 Head - I Can't Stop (Mental Metal Mix)
10 World Domination Enterprises - I Can't Live Without My Radio
11 Timezone feat. John Lydon & Africa Bambaataa - World Destruction
12 Age Of Chance - Kiss
13 The Thrill Kill Kult - The Devil Does Drugs
14 Taboo - Number 6
15 400 Blows vs 23 Skidoo - G.I. (Joakim Edit)
16 Einstürzende Neubauten - Yu Gung (A. Sherwood Mix)

VA - DJ Harvey Presents Moonshadow

I'm hoping a few of you knowledgable readers will be able to help. Both these mixes I've had lying about for a while, ones just got 'Moon Shadow Part One' written on it whereas the other 'More Moonshadow'. Am I right in thinking their were quite a few more mixes in the Moon Shadow series? If anyone has more info, tracklistings, links to the others in the series or can confirm these are by Harvey even, would be appreciated. Both great selections whoever compiled them.

Shriekback - Accretions

Since I've already started the tenuous 1982 link I might as well try to drag it out a bit longer now, so here's another beauty from that musically great year. From their Tench EP, imho still sounding fresher (& better) than most of the new releases I've listened to this week...

Shriekback - Accretions

Wide Boy Awake - Slang Teacher

I didn't actually plan this but here's another from 1982. Bit of a coincidence but must have been a good year for electronic synth pop type stuff I guess.
