From Bent Crayon's list:
KOOLA KING One Latin - Continuing Mark Broom's foray into jazz
comes this
newie on his much respected Pure Plastic label.Original on this one is a
heady cocktail of sax,flute,bass and drums and has already drwn the
attention of Giles Patterson and the like.2 Remixes come from Plaid and
the
Midnight Funk Association contribute one. 12 PURE PLASTIC
I got this last night, and it's superb. The original is a busy Latin
American flavored jam with lots of horn stabs and castanet (sp?)
jangles. Plaid takes the track and adds some extra magic with new layers
of melodies and harder beats - it reminds me a little bit of Scoobs in
Columbia, except busier. The end result also feels a bit more digital,
with slightly less warmth of the original. The MFA mix is a tad dull.
Quite nice overall.
