A lost side bar in the history of west coast hip hop, and one of our favorite LP's from the early 90s. NWA were at their height when MC Ren put together this side project with Lil Nation, which he hasn't surpassed since. The tracks are pre-G-Funk, hyped and funky west coast beats, and the rhymes are tight enough to disprove the notion that Cube was responsible for all of NWA's lyrical dopeness. Nice zigga zigga courtesy the Almighty DJ Train, too. Includes "Ballad Of A Menace", "C.P.Osis", "Ren's Rhythm", "Flow To The Rhythm", "The Wall", "Homicide", "Somethin' Like Dis", "The Movement", "This Beat Is Funky", and "Gangsta Melody". CD
The music of Misha Panfilov just gets deeper and deeper with each new release – and here, he's light years away from the funk of his earlier sets, and much more in the realm of spiritual jazz! The set's got a vibe that's almost in the Carlos Nino side of the spectrum, but which also resonates strongly with Misha's amazing sense of sound – served up by a group that features Misha on guitars, keyboards, organs, harpsichord, ngoni, and a whole host of other elements – joined by the trumpet of Rafael Andrade, tenor of Francisco Aguilar, bass of Ricardo Dias, and drums of Francisco Coelho. Tunes are long and carry elements of Brazilian and other global styles – but often in a way that evokes cinematic modes too, although things are much deeper than any sort of easy soundtrack reference to such styles. The whole album's a masterpiece of beauty that we never would have expected from Panfilov a few years back – and titles include "Vertical", "Alegria Em Movimento", "Caleidoscpopio", "Domingo Magico" and "Para O Sol".
