We interrupt our regularly scheduled posting for this...
Nirvana’s third album "To Markos III" was originally slated for release on Island records but label boss Chris Blackwell wanted a singles band not an Island version of the Moody Blues and gave Patrick Campbell-Lyons & Alex Spyropoulos free reign to take their tape elsewhere.
This they duly did, writing the caustic "Christopher Lucifer" in barbed tribute to Mr Blackwell along the way. Funding for the as yet nameless project came in the form of financial aid from Spyrppoulos's uncle Markos III and a deal was put together with the US based Metromedia label.The album is full of some of the most lush and beautiful songs that the duo ever wrote.The real strength comes from songs like "Black Flower" and "Illinois" (covered by The New Seekers).
Alex Spyropolous left after this album and the bands recordings arguably never reached these standards again.If you liked the first two albums you will probably like this. -- courtesy of Dj Fanis over at HippyDjKit

American Gangster Samples...
Thanks to the fellas over at "The Movement" for putting me on to this, as well as the gentleman responsible for this compilation over at "Hip Hop Is Read" blogspot. Even though you may not know if the offical "American Gangster" album is any good or not, make no mistake, this compilation is. Get it fast. Back soon. Peace!
"Dusty Fingers Vol. 14" (2006)
Figured I put this one up, just in case you guys didn't know what the hell I was talking about when I was referring to the group known as "Cos." This is a very good compilation. One of their best to date I'd have to say. Enjoy. I'll be back in a few. Peace!
Tony Starks "More Fish" (2007)
Okay, last one that I'm doing in this "Ironman" series that I inadvetantly started. Picked this up at RapBoard.Ru, and has a few good tracks on it, plus some sick Library Breaks samples (Guns N Razors & Outta Town Shit), but basically the leftovers from "Fishscale." Be back to basics after this one. Promise. Peace!
Tony Starks "Fishscale Samples" (2006)
Another on courtesy of the gents over at The Movement On-line, and if you haven't joined yet, you might wanna think about doing so. Anyways, a great album, that completely cover the vast array of samples that make-up the "Fish Scale" album. Props to whoever compiled it. Back soon. Peace! Part 1 & 2.
