Extend The Knowledge/It's Right To Be Civil

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 598523) Omniverse, 2006/2011 — Condition: New Copy

A timeless hip hop soul ode to the Civil Rights struggle from Marc Mac of 4 Hero! Extend The Knowledge is a 2CD set that serves a beautiful tribute to the movement – with spoken bits pulled from a range of classic records of the 60s and 70s, all set to beats and keys by the mighty Marc Mac! The music has got a grittier feel than some of Mac's work with 4 Hero – and is a bit more in the mode of his recent Visioneers project, but somewhat more abstract overall – in the "homage" mode of his Game Of Chess album! It includes a lot of tracks, of them shortish, but very focused and filled with great juxtapositions of sound. Extend The Knowledge follows up the 2006 sibling set It's Right To Be Civil – and this limited edition 2CD package includes that excellent and previously out of print original set on the second disc. 25 tracks on Extend The Knowledge: "Silence Is No Option", "Speak Louder", "Occupied Territory", "Mr. Meredith", "My Own Government", "Tricknowlogy", "Side You On?", "The Carpool", "Attallah", "New Awareness" and more. 28 tracks on It's Right To Be Civil: include s"100 Years Later", "Liberation Drums", "By Any Means", "Unorganized Protest", "No More Pigs", "Detroit Red", "Kings Music", "Rosa Said", "Love Is True", "Coreta's Beat", "Brothers Of Peace", "A Funky Protest", "March 1968", and "Even The President Knows".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
