Subterranea ... Used CD
Irma (Italy),
2004. Used CD ....
$4.99
Rootsy Brazilian jazz -- done Italian style! At one level, the group's a free-thinking assemblage that takes us back to the glory days of the Airto/Flora years -- working in an earthy style that has lots of organic touches, yet which also rises out of the ground with a strongly jazzy vibe. But at...

Noo Trybe,

$4.99
Second LP from Nas's rhyming partner, from the days before Jay Z decided to take QB down a notch. Pretty much overlooked but not a bad effort, and nearly as dope as his first album. Includes "I'm Known", "How Ya Livin", "The Payback", "Pieces Of A (Black)...

Take It Or Squeeze It (clean version) ... Used CD
Loud,
2001. Used CD ....
$2.99
The Beatnuts didn't have a whole heckuva of a lot in the way of lyrical ideas by '01, but this underrated LP for Loud is well worth the purchase price anyway, thanks to the 'nut's continued mastery of beats and samples. They virtually ignore perfunctory trends and stay firmly rooted in the...

1990. Used CD ....
$2.99
A second chapter for boy band 80s soul! After Bobby Brown set off on his own, the remaining three members of New Edition decided to remain a group and give it a go, and far from being a sad collection of the leftover members, their debut album was actually one of many successful New Jack Swing...

Sony (Japan),
2001. Used CD ....
$0.99
The third single from Bird's excellent Mind Travel LP -- and a sweet mellow soul number that's more downtempo than previous singles, which are a bit more house oriented. The Mad Professor remix has a lover's rock sound that's really great -- complete with lots of dubby effects, and some nice...

$5.99
A dozen tracks from one of the greatest east coast harmony groups of the 70s! Blue Magic came onto the scene a bit later than some of their other hit making geographical neighbors -- like The Stylistics or The Moments -- but their sound was pure 70s harmony all the way, and the group had a...

Everything Is Everything (clean version) ... Used CD
Elektra,
1994. Used CD ....
$3.99
The 3rd album, and the last one with just Lord Jamar and Sadat X, before the reunion with Puba. The Nube's are handling the production themselves for the most part, with a little help from Buckwild, and the beats are spare and slow, fitting with the seriousness of their vocal delivery on this...

$0.49
A contemporary jazz set, but one served up with a sound that's as groundbreaking as some of the best "new thing" work of the 60s! There's a righteous vision here that rings out from the very first note -- a searching, pulsating approach to the music that has Jefrey Leighton Brown...
