isn't this record wonderful? now I want 2 so I can use those
little break samples at the end of side 1 to scratch with, while that
robotic voice rap thumps along on the other turntable. charming fart
samples I might add.... ;)
above my record crates I have the original K-TEL poster:
"Breaking Moves by the New York City Breakers"
and it has step-by-step diagrams of breakin' moves! (including the
moonwalk, electric boogie/body poppin', backspin, top-rockin', and even the
dreaded headspin). All that plus and a breakdance dictionary! Priceless.
Not to sound trite, but electro isn't a big "comeback" for me, I just
never quit listening to it in the first place. :)
Another nice anthology (besides the excellent RHINO "street jams" series)
is Tommy Boy's "Greatest Beats," featuring much more harder-to-find tracks.
And don't forget that "Retro-Techno: detroit definitive" compilation. BTW,
what label is that on? All I have is a crappy taped dub of it....
