There is a curious pair of CD's on Priority Records -- Electro Funk Volume 1 and 2. Volume 1 leads of with 'Planet Rock' and Volume 2 leads off with 'Clear' by Cybotron. Priority Record P2 53115 is volume II -- I don't have volume one in front of me to give the cat #. These came out last year. They have some cheesy cuts on them, but several good tracks, and seem to me to provide some context to the whole electro thing. I'd love to have some of the 2 Live Crew records without the excremental rapping over the top. Luther may have a world class potty mouth but he knows his beats. They're playing a Electro cut on B96 in Chicago -- something called "Freak Nasty" or some such -- much sexual innuendo over a classic 808 beat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "i love the smell of new carpet. it makes me dizzy. just like when you fall in love." -- Mike Dvorkin Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3488 (fax)
