Thanks for correcting. Words indeed are worlds so 'rumour' is a better
substitute for
'urban legend'. I admit, I know more about dnb and detroit techno than
roots of electro and only reference to the origins of term 'jungle' I read
from the book
called 'History of Rap & Hip Hop'. A finnish book, where Bambaata & related
folks were referred as a group. I've always dug Afrika Bambaataa sound and
Planet Rock was one of the first tunes along with Kraftwerk sound, which
got me into electronic music in
the first hand. Video still rocks btw.
Hmmm.. actually the viewpoint of AB as being group derives most likely from
that tune Planet
Rock, which was done by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force. Now correct
me if I remember
that one wrong. Also I think there was some compilation or sorts by Afrika
Bambaataa and & Family.
ah well, can't know all, now can we ;) (omniscience, omnipurity,
omnicreatures)
:]
