Shapes -- A Tru Thoughts/Zebra Traffic Compilation

Various

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 411846) Tru Thoughts (UK), 2006 -- Condition: New Copy

The funkiest entry so far in the excellent Shapes series from Tru Thoughts -- and a great illustration of the deeper grooves the label's been exploring in recent years! The collection is a great overview of some of the best beats, basslines, and vocals coming out of Tru Thoughts and related Zebra Traffic of late -- work very much in the sway of the Quantic style, but also featuring a good deal of influence from Alice Russell, Nostalgia 77, and others! And if that's not enough, the price on this one is mighty nice -- lower than most import 12" singles, but filled with a full spectrum of 15 tracks -- a much-appreciated musical bargain in these troubled times! Titles include "Freedom (Zombie Dance parts 1 & 2)" by Nostalgia 77 Octet, "Step It Up" by The Bamboos, "An Announcement To Anser" by Quantic, "Fly In The Hand (DJ Vadim mix)" by Alice Russell, "Forgetting To Remember (Nostalgia 77 mix)" by Kinny & Horne, "Hurry On Now (Dirty Diggers version)" by Alice Russell, "Mi Swing Es Tropical" by Quantic & Nickodemus, "Sling Shot (part 1)" by The Broken Keys, "Bungee Jump Against Racism (Diesler mix)" by Nirobi & Barakas, "A Little Something" by Diesler with Laura Vane, and "People People" by Jumbonics.  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
