tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90263802011-08-01T23:26:24.383+01:00Every 14 days, a music mixtape audioblog based on the masses of soul, jazz, funk, reggae, latin, blue eyed soul, pop & rock vinyl in my loft space that has sat there unplayed but not unloved for too many years. It will sit there no longer as it's time to share. Please note mixes stay up for 14 days after that they're gone.Gladstone Minzienoreply@blogger.comBlogger1371100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026380.post-1156363840539649762006-08-23T21:07:00.000+01:002006-08-23T21:14:40.286+01:00

Maya Azucena my favourite indie singer has a video on You Tube and she's singing my favourite song 'Hallelujah', which is well worth watching and listening to.

People people it seems that I have slipped up on the mix front as I have been a little lax of late. Well, I have been jugling a coouple of new jobs, closing a business, setting up a new business. In addition I have been to the beautiful city of Barcelona, which I fell in love with last year and now would like to live there at some point in the future, Catalonia is the place to be. Anyway a mix

To those of us in the UK, we are usually at least 6 months behind new shows in the US but the power of the internet levels the playing field and also rids us of the adverts (aaah!). 'Everybody hates Chris' is based on Chris Rock's upbringing in Bed-Stuy and for me it's damn funny and the music well it's mainstream stuff but it's funky all the same Stevie, EWF, Grandmaster Flash, you know the rest

Another mix another groove, this one folks is heavily laden with some very tasty jazz funk/fusion, while we start off with soulful funky grooves the theme is jazz, you have been funkily warned. Trivia - Check the badword bleep on the Calender track 'Hypertension', which despite hearing the song many times have never heard it before until I played this UK 7".1. L. A.

Yep folks, things are a little bit awry at MFMLoft and I've lost all my pics that were on my server and doubt if I'll get them back but will try and sort it out. The main mix is still available but a couple of the podcasts are having problems, so if it's affecting you let me know. Sorry about that folks.Update:The Podcasts and the main mix are now avaialable.

I have read today that Brit pop whiner James Blunt (sings like a girl!) is in dispute with a producer chappy called Lukas Burton and his royalties are being put on hold until the matter has been sorted out. Poor Lukas feels that he should be getting a slice of the pie especially after Blunt has sold over 2m copies of his album as well as topping the US singles chart ( watch out Chico is coming!).

Ahem, not that I am one to bask in my own minscule glory but I have to inform you that I had a hand (ok it was purely motivational) in 'Feel It' the newest soul/funk/jazz (?) vinyl blog . Well Mr Darcy (couldn't resist it!) opens up with two tracks courtesy of Ms Candi Staton, who's back in the UK charts again with 'You Got The Love' (for the 2nd time).

Film Director, Painter, Poet, Author, Musician, Composer and award winning photographer Gordon Parks died yesterday aged 93 from cancer. I have to admit he did not look 93, no way but in those 93 years he sure squeezed in a lot of life along with 3 marriages. I knew him originally as a photographer as I had seen some of his work when he documented a black low income family in Harlem in the 60's.

You know you just can't pick up on everything that's happening soulwise but luckily I was browsing over at Underground-Soul, when I came across this review for a young lady called Nessa Morgan. I gave the samples a good listen and you know what I was hooked, she's got a touch of the Martha Redbone about her, which is good in my book. Anyway you can check her website here and listen to the

She's been off my radar for at least a good 12 months but it seems like she tried to make a comeback at the Turin Winter Olympics and I can honestly say I didn't watch any of it. Well it seems that it was pretty much a fiasco, so I am glad I missed it.

I came across this movie link to Stevie Wonder singing 'For Once in my Life' in some TV studio somewhere in the USA. The short movie made me laugh out loud, no, not at Stevie as he's just fine as per usual (love that sharp suit!) but it's the dancers in the background, who obviously cannot dance to save their lives and have never heard of rehearsals, so here's the link here but please let me know

He will be missed!You raise very good point re: success of Black British artists in the UK.Channel 4 news did a segment last week on this very issue. The general view is that the emphasis right now is either on Brit Pop/Indie - guitar playing white males or reality TV contest winners (XFactor etc).One of the commentators noted that though shows like Xfactor are supposed to bring to the fore

It was only earlier today that I was looking at his 2005 album, which came out on I assumed to be an independent label. I was shocked to read this a few minutes ago on the BBC website, but I knew he was fighting cancer but as I hadn't heard much of him I was under the assumption he was getting better. Alas it was not to be as Lynden David Hall has died after a two year fight with cancer. He was

Well after getting my grubby paws on Apples' new iLife'06 software, I thought it was time to get a podcast out as the facilities to produce it within Garageband were just too easy. So you finally get to hear my dulcet tones, well I hope you can understand what I am saying, if not then just listen to the music. I haven't put any RSS thingy around it as I haven't figured that out yet but in the

Billy Paul - The Whole Town's TalkingBilly Paul and that song 'Me and Mrs Jones', which has been covered by others but never ever bettered as it's his song, a bit like Frank Sinatra with 'My Way'. However when it comes to a piece of 'The Philly Sound' then this track is it for me. From the horns at the intro it just rocks along with the whole orchestra doing their thing and doing it well; the

So I've been digging in my boxes of scratchy 7" records again and hopefully put together a nice little mix. It's all on a soulful side with just some slightly obscure B sides and the like from well known acts. Plenty more where this came from so enjoy. The Billy Paul I did originally play it as 7" but it was way too short so I dug the LP out of the loft and played the much longer LP cut, which is

As some of you may or not know I have a cheery cynicism for some of todays so called mainstream R&B divas, who in my book are just R&B wannabees. However there's not many of todays bright and shiny young things that I could use the word soul to describe their singing. The only name, I can pick with any certainty would be Mary J Blige as she's the new Aretha (not that Aretha isn't making some

After the disco mix of vol 19, I came across an article on the death of disco and other musings at the fairly new Disco Delivery blog whilst checking out my links at Technorati (I am so vain!). I love the type used for the heading as it's got a very funky 70's feel abaout it. Anyway, it's worth a read and he (Tommy) has got a few tracks for download, however it's on rapidshare so it's not that

Well, another 12 months have flown by and where did it all go I have to ask myself. 2005 was full of musical suprises for me mainly in the indie soul/R&B scene, so I thought I'd share a few delights with you folks who've taken the time to download my mixes and drop the odd comment. So here are my favourite artists of 2005 in no particular order. Maya Azucena - missed her fleeting visit to these

Lil Louis - I Called UI was never a big house/techno music lover but the sound of Lil Louis managed to turn my head and get the old foot a tapping. This was the track that did it for me and listening to it the beat actually comes from the keyboard changes coupled with the background beat or is it a bass. The monologue he delivers is neat and the scary stalker girl voice gives it an edge but

Well I didn't think I'd make it but the 20th Mix is here for all and sundry and I hope you like it. Things kick off with some funky/jazzy house music but it's got a nicely flavoured jazz groove running through it from a slightly eclectic selection, which I think works but it depends on your musical view point.Lil Louis - I Called U12" Epic Records (US) 1989Lil Louis - French Kiss (Jazz Mix)12"

The THP Orchestra - Too Hot For Love This is one of my ultimate disco records as it's got everything, great vocals, great instrumentation and a superb driving beat that isn't just thump thump thump like so many of todays dance music. Believe it or not this was recorded in Toronto Canada, which became something of a powerhouse in this type of uptempo disco music during that period. The Butterfly

Dug into some of my disco pile and pulled out a few little gems, so I hope you like them, now this is what I call disco as it's the less obvious tracks, some of which I haven't played in over 15 years or more. In my opinion disco was the forerunner to the European Dance/House scene (others might disagree), which is still thriving commercially in many parts of Europe but not so much in the UK.

Yasuko Agawa - L.A. Nights The answer is yes, to those of you have felt they've heard the track somewhere before, you are not mistaken. This is a version of the UK 70/80's Funk band Light of The World cut they called 'London Town', (written by Augie Johnson and Miki Howard of Side Effect). I know nothing about Yasuko Agawa apart from this 12", which has a very good version of Ritchie Cole's 'New

At long long last here's volume 17, so I hope you enjoy it, there's a slight difference in how you can now download the mix.

Luther Vandross who has for the past 2 years or more has been recovering from a massive stroke died yesterday aged 54. The multi-platinum smooth soulman will be missed as he was one of my favourites, he did in my opinion lose his way artistically in the 90's as his duet with Mariah Carey testifies. His very early material is just stupendous and he took production to another level. His comeback

However you can still download it from here so it's business as usual, it will be available for 7 days after that it's gone but I'll probably reload again, it's not ideal but it saves me getting stuck with a rather fat bill from my web hosts.I am looking around for new

Cedar Walton - Latin AmericaThis is my one of my favourite Latin Jazz Funk tracks and I can remember shaking a leg or two to this back in the day. This is a great latin track and I love the piano intro, it does it for me everytime I hear it and I can assume it's great to dance salsa to, if you are of that mind. The album has some real jazz heavyweights on it such as Freddie Hubbard, Al Foster,

Time flies pretty quickly and before you know it another mix is upon us, many thanks for all the kind comments and I'll keep it coming until I've played all of my music! Oh my bandwidth is reaching it's monthly limit so you will find that the mix will be streamed for a short while, so bear with it as the downloads will be available shortly. It's a jazz mix with a touch of fusion, hope it grooves

It would seem that the future of Africa would depend on a few select aging white pop stars giving free concerts. I doubt very much if this thing has really been thought out properly as they could easily have raised plenty of dosh had they sold the tickets at a set price. However some people are upset that there are no or few black acts in the line up. I am not suprised at this as Bob and his

Well it's back to the Soul/Jazz/Funk for this mix and I kick it off with soul great Sam Dees and then it's a quick slice of the '80's post-disco soul scene.I Know You Got Soul1.

People, I am running a little late on my new mix but it should be up within a day or two so get ready for that as it's back to a solid soul and jazz groove, not been digging too deep but hopefully should be something in there for you to enjoy. Also me poor old bandwidth is getting up to it's monthly limit and should that happen then I'll switch to streaming the mix via the nicecast network.

Maya AzucenaEvery once in a while you will come across an individual who knocks you off your feet and thats what has happened with my rather late discovery of Ms Maya Azucena. I had been mulling over her album 'Maya Who' for some time as it was actually the first thing in my wishlist at CD you know who.

My apologies but this review is going up just as I am taking the mix down never mind eh? Also I am no super duper mixing expert but I've tried my best and most of it works I think.Kenny Bobien - Dance For Life 2003 (Little Big Bee Latin Mix) 2003I was never into house music as most of it to my old ears was crap but I did notice that there was some very good soulful house records being made, which

This is a total departure for me as it's a dance orientated mix pulled from the bargain bin at my favourite music store Fopp. However I'll say it's soulful dance music not the autopilot stuff thats on too many compilations, which might explain why dance music has died a short sharp death, which is good as the quality productions will continue and the rubbish will just hopefully disappear.Straight

Martha RedboneWelcome to the first featured artist and it's a lady I know very little of (thank you CD baby!) but having listened to her latest album Skintalk, she just blew me away. It was as if someone had poured the voice of Chaka Khan/Patti Austin/Nena Cherry and then sprinkled some Betty Davis into Martha Redbone's body. Now I am not saying she's a clone of Chaka/Patti/Nena/ Betty, no she

Through my recent discovery of CDBaby, I have come across a whole raft of top quality talent that is not signed to any of the major labels or any of their offshoots. These are independent artists in the true sense of the word, as they are releasing their own work on small labels which in the majority of cases are usually their own . In this age of mtv fully saturated overhyped lacklustre artists

When it seemed like CD was taking over the world it was very hard to find a turntable to play your vinyl on and a portable turntable was even harder to find but it seems that vinyl just won't go away even when up against mp3. The portable turntable is on the rise after Vestax brought out theirs about two years agoI found out this week that Numark have brought out their own portable for you vinyl

Loleatta Holloway - Hit And RunThis was probably the first remixed record I bought and it was probably in 1977/78 not sure but I know it was at a Northern Soul Alldayer, which at that time played what they called New York Disco in between the strictly Northern sets. Anyway my first hearing of this record just blew me away, it was awesome then and it's still awesome today and still sounds fresh

Apologies one and all as I am running late and haven't posted anything since the last mix as I've been busy with one thing and another. Also no review but I'll make sure I do one for this mix, honest! This is mix no. 13 and it's back to the disco as the mix kicks off with an absolute corker of a track, which for me is the epitome of the remix, more about that in the review.The Fully Insulated Mix

If you fancy listening to the sounds of Heatwave/The L.A. Boppers/The Whispers and Earth Wind and Fire, all rolled into one then check out a band called Unified Tribe, completely new to me but the vocals are the sweetest I've heard in a longtime, since Johnnie Wilder of Heatwave and maybe the Whispers. There are 12 members in the band and they all play an insrument or two or three or four, which

I am well and truly under the spell of CD Baby as I seem to spend hours at it's store just sampling new and wonderful artists, I am like a kid in a candy store and my cart is filling up daily. Unlike Amazon, CDbaby isn't trying to sell me garden furniture, cappuchino machines, DVD players or cameras, but just plain good music.

Why hasn't anyone told me about CD Baby, the indie label CD merchant, everyone seems to know about it but it's as if they like to keep it their little secret. I stumbled across it by accident and have spent the past two days or so listening to their jazz/latin/soul sections and there's some great music to be had. They've got a $5 CD sale (yes that's correct) and I've bagged a few for myself, also

More good news check out Nate James websiteas he's causing a stir with the single 'Set The Tone', which is in the shops now. The websites got plenty of music clips and I think the lad might have something, did I say there was lack of UK talent. I know his label probably didn't have much of a budget to shoot the video but did they really need to go to New York to shoot it as it's pretty naff.

Terri Walker thats who, she's doesn't seem to be getting much press on her new album L.O.V.E. but she's a young Brit whose album presses all the right buttons and as I say "she's got the voice", so she's on my "can sing" list. You should check out her website for a some music samples and video from the new album.

I regularly bemoan about there being a lack of good soulful mainstream talent out there but someone who I've not really paid much attention to is John Legend and I must say that I've been pleasantly suprised as he's a gifted musician.

McDonalds the biggest provider of obesity in a bun is offering rappers money to name check it's big mac into their songs and mcDonalds will pay up $5 each time it's heard on the radio.

New album? new tour? afraid not but she's back in rehab for the 2nd time in a year, lets hope she stays the course this time and not check-out after 4 days. I am of the opinion that things might be better for Whitney if the husband Mr Brown checked himself in at the same time.

Came across DJ Earworms' website a few weeks ago but lost the bookmark, however his track popped up in my iTunes along with his web address, which is one reason why he's a clever little chappie.

The suits at the record companies have announced through clenched teeth that UK CD album sales for 2004 rose by 4.5% to 176 million units, which is nice, whilst legal downloads exceeded 9 million units. So despite all the illegal downloading of music, sales continue to rise, now surely there's a link, or was it to do with lowering of prices as I'd be interested to see the sales in £'s.

Picked up the DVD (it was cheap) by the Gorillaz called 'Phase One: Celebrity Takedown' as I liked one or two of their songs/videos and it seemed to look at the animation behind it (but it didn't).

This mix is something, which I've been planning to do for quite few months now, if you haven't noticed from the playlist all the bands/artists are UK based acts most of whom were from or living in the UK, when they recorded. So all the music in the mix is UK music from the early 90's, which is an period I can remember had such a tremendous effect on the soul/jazz music scene in the UK which was

It appears that the boneheads who run the music industry (and their beancounters) are looking to increase the download price for single tracks from places such as iTunes, which to date has sold over 300 million tracks.

Ah after my last dissing of the Brazilica CD, it wasn't long before my fav record shop hit me with a goody and I mean a double goody. For the princely sum of £3.00, which equates to some fancy hot milk at Starbucks, I picked up a 1964 (recorded in Rio De Janeiro) reissue from Eumir Deodato called 'Samba Nova Concepcao' on the Barcelona based Ubatuqui label.

Well it was business as usual at the Oscars as the Academy members lets the whole world know who they think are the best actors, directors, films etc and we spend the next two or three months arguing why they were wrong, however this year they were pretty much on the button. I see Jamie Foxx picked up best actor for 'Ray' and as far as I've heard deservedly so, also Morgan Freeman got best

It's not very often I ever take a record or CD back to the store and if I do it's usually for technical reasons, marks. scratches, jumps and skips etc. However the 3 CD compilation called Brazilica Lounge on the Bardelune label is probably the first piece of music I have ever taken back to a store due to it being the worst thing I have had the misfortune to listen to in the past 10-15 years of CD

Devon's finest Ms Joss Stone has a new single out called 'Spoiled' along with the obligatory video, which you can watch here click on the TV button for the video to play. The words that spring to mind after watching it are "Clunk Click Every Trip" otherwise you could end up with a face thats get you plenty of work in horror movies.

Pete Waterman UK music producer and avid train enthusiast who was responsible for unleashing upon the UK, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, Mel & Kim, Sonia, Steps etc received an OBE (Order Of The British Empire, not that there's much of one nowadays) yesterday for 'services to music', this has to be a joke, a hoax, it can't be serious, can it!

If he was really a DJ, he just wouldn't do it, vinyl terrorism masquerading as art, read all about it here, makes my blood run cold just thinking about it.

An Italian DJ has been slammed with a huge €1.4 million fine after being caught with a reported 2,000 pirated MP3 music files and hundreds of illegally downloaded video clips.The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) reports the Italian police discovered the DJ playing the allegedly pirated music in nightclubs near Rome. It ordered the fine against the individual, whose

Here's the Volume 8 review The Undisputed Truth - UFO 1975When Norman Whitfield wasn't producing the Temptations during his stay at Motown, he was working with the more psychedelic and funkier Undisputed Truth, who always seem to give their songs an edge as this albums shows. 'UFO' is just out there with it's funkiness, sorry no chicken scratch guitar on this album but plenty of fuzz guitar that

So here we are again another mix and this time it's volume 8, I might have a party when I get to volume 10. Anyway it's a very mixed bag of tunes but you should like some of it.

It seems that Michael Jackson has been struck down with the flu which he will survive, good as I wish him a speedy recovery. I am looking forward to hearing about the truth into his sordid goings on at Neverland (otherwise known as PaedoWorld). Hopefully the jury when selected will find him guilty and then throw away the key on this faded superstar pervert. As for his sad fans they have lost a

If any of you are going to give a last minute CD compilation to your beloved or someone you may have an eye on here's a check list on how to get it right.1. Print out a label for the CD and inserts for the front and back, show them you've spent time on it. Include the song, artist and song times and make the text readable. You need to ensure that your CD can take a printed label.2. Do not just

Ray Charles swept the board at the Grammies but did he have to die before his greatness was acknowledged? I can imagine that he's laughing his socks off at the whole affair as he's twinkling at the piano in music heaven.No real grammy suprises except that Kanye West didn't receive the Best Newcomer award, apart from that nothing much to beef about except Prince didn't get Best Song with Cinnamon

I have been watching with much amusement and horror at some of the people who have turned up and just cannot sing and have voices that can strip the paint off walls. Their self-belief is amazing but if only they could channel that self-belief into something they are actually good at then they'd probably be very very successful. The overall standard has been poor to say the least but it's also

Those technobods at Engadget brought this little item to my attention it's a robotic dj, but looking at the poor metal mickey it has no arms and therefore can only play the same two tunes over and over again. This observation has me believing that there are many of these metal monsters alive and spinning in music radioland.

Here's the review for Volume 7 Temptations - A Song For You - 1975 This was the first Temptaions album after Norman Whitfield had left Motown and was produced by Jeffrey Bowen. The album featured Dennis Edwards and Damon Harris as the Tempts lineup changed over the years. The featured track 'Prophet' well it's funky alright and love the intro also the deep and I mean deep monologue.

Apologies for the slight delay in getting it on the site but I have to blame my Polish neighbours who dragged me next door for a quick drink and 4-5 hours later after finishing two bottles of whiskey (and some pizza) between 5 of us, I am attempting to get Vol 7 up and running. This mix is dedicated to them, lovely folk and a good laugh despite the language barrier but I guess that's what it's

Another mix another review, like I said earlier there were soom real suprises amongst some of these tracks. The Spinners - We'll Have It Made - 1970 Produced by Stevie Wonder not that you'd really know but this was probably the time when he was no longer 'Little Stevie' and was beginning to spread his talents into writing and producing. The single has an almost pop sound to it but it reminds

I had something else lined for this issue but after digging into my scratchy 45's I had to put a 7" /45 mix together. I came up with these, some of which were a complete suprise to me as they were gems hidden away on b sides, which I doubt if I've ever played before. A few are scratchy so you won't be getting CD quality but still very enjoyable. The Fully Insulated Mix Vol 6 Playlist Always
