Listening to Moodyman in headphones in your office cubicle is like
having sex in a matchbox.
The first time I heard Moodyman was when Boo Williams dropped the
"Small Church In Detroit" track at the climax of a set at a party in
Chicago. The place went OFF.
Not to say that you need to rent a high school gym and a 15000 watt PA
to listen to it, but until you listen to it LOUD in the context of a party,
you may not get it.
Now Playing: "African Tribal Music and Dance" -- this is THE old school
techno.
