That's right! I was finally able to score a reasonably priced copy of the "out of print" LP single of "Midnight In A Perfect World." I always loved these versions of this song because of the subtle little differences, for instance: the little dialogue in the Radio Version, and the calming Sax solo in the Extended... And now, I'm proud to present to you:

A.1 Midnight In A Perfect World (Radio Vision)
A.2 Midnight In A Perfect World (Gab Mix)
B.1 Midnight In A Perfect World (Extended Vision)
B.2 Mutual Slump (Album Version)

Enjoy!

The brother OUFAR KHAN knows what's going down. Thanks to him for this one. Haven't heard it yet, but I will. Hope you dig it. Peace! Here's what he had to say: "I hope I don't scoop anybody on this one, but since there was this buzz about the first (and wonderful) Cortex LP and since I was already thinking of posting their second... well here it is! It really is another absolute killer album of dope jazz/funk tracks, full of breakbeats and swirling rhodes lines that you can't get enough of! Unlike their first album it's all instrumental (save for a few chants on "Poxa") and lean even more heavily on the groove side, in a funky blaxpoitation kind of way. Too many good tracks to mention— Aaah, for once we can be proud of some french music!"

Enjoy!

Takes a minute to get into, but well worth it once it gets going. Piano work is outstanding, as well as the vocals. Canabalized this one on-line, so I hope you dig it. Keep your eyes peeled. Peace!

This album surprised the hell out of me. I'm pretty sure this is from the "Remastered" version that came out a few years back; I never can remember where I picked these things up from... I'm pretty sure if you like my Zappa, then you'll love this. Killer cover too. Anyways. Pick it up, and I'm sure it will surprise you too... Enjoy!

Figured since we're already on the subject, might as well. Found this over at one of my favourite hang-outs: The Movement, then I realized our good friend Ivan over at "Hip Hop Is Read" was so kind to post the same thing for us. Great minds all seem to think alike. From them, to me, to you. Back soon. Peace!

In "Good God!" vain, I bring to you a little something that I picked up lerking around the net. All the tracks aren't as heavy as most "JB" inspired tracks that we've listened to in the past, but it's definately got some live ones on it. Well worth a listen, or two, or three. Back soon. Peace!

Okay, I know it's been a while since the last one, but I don't want to rush 'em on you. And judging from my stats on the last post, you guys can't seem to get enough of the funk & soul renditions of the boys from Liverpool. Contains some good vocal versions, and well as melodic instrumental takes on a few songs; all of them you're sure to love. Enjoy. Back soon. Peace!

No more then two tracks. Not the highlight of both Shadow, or Gift of Gab's career, but good for all you DJ Shadow completists out there. Grab it up, and let me know what you all think. Back soon. Peace!

Okay, so I've spent the better part of the month compiling various DJ Shadow samples to bring to you guys. And here is my first selection. I don't know how frequent I'll be able to be on, since "Safari" seems to be having a problems logging into BLOGGER; anyone else having issues? Anyways, here goes nothing... And by the way, every song below has a link, you just have to find 'em...
