Where The Funk and Soul Meet

2011-04-05T14:49:00.004-06:00

Ok here's the 2nd one. I was able to upload them both very quickly as they are only around 60mb each. Both are quite brilliant so enjoy and share! I have one more if i can get to it from "Barabas Lorinc Eklektric".

Shawn Lee - Soul In The Hole (2009)

2011-04-05T14:40:00.002-06:00

I'm not sure that everyone may know who Shawn Lee is, but his past work was with the Ping Pong Orchestra. He's gone solo - and i have 2 of them to share today. Enjoy - (the rs link is a bit odd because i've found that RS had started nixing these from their site - hopefully this renaming sticks).

Seawind - Seawind (1977)

2011-03-22T15:37:00.002-06:00

Ok, this one was brought to my attention a couple months ago, and yes - its obviously very old, but wait til you hear it. these guys were part of the movement back then that brought us to where we are today. i've heard that they are called "christian music", but that's up to your discretion.

personally? brilliant and right along the lines of what i'm always trying to share with everyone. enjoy and share with others!
i will get back to some "newer" stuff again soon, but i needed to share this.

Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak (2010)

2011-02-24T16:12:00.003-07:00

back in oct 2009, i posted the prior album from these guys out of Japan. here they are again, showing why they continue to produce such brilliant music. enjoy one and all !

i'm working on getting my files shared with Oron.com as well, so more users can enjoy the music.

Charles Bradley - No Time For Dreaming (2011)

2011-02-01T14:46:00.003-07:00

wow, that didn't take forever to get back here hey? i have a few new ones i need to post, and i've had no time to do so. i've again taken a long time to do this, and if there are still any followers of the page, i apologize and hope you come and enjoy the new music.

now, here's Charles Bradley. this ultra-talent is in a groove along the like of Roy Ayers and Curtis Mayfield, but with a good James Brown-esque beat. enjoy. he's amazing.

very soon there will be 3-5 more albums coming. stay tuned if you still are.

Chris Joss - Sticks (2009)

2010-12-15T12:59:00.003-07:00

I've posted Chris Joss in the past, and because i enjoy him and his offbeat instrumental work, i've decided to post more. i've now listened to this album 3 straight times and it's funky beats and almost East Indian-esque type sounds in some of the songs - i know you all will enjoy it too.

Shaolin Temple Defenders - Take It Slow (2010)

2010-12-15T09:15:00.002-07:00

Been too long - way too long. Sorry to the people who come here, but i've just not found a lot of good stuff out there that i deem worthy to post - until today. I'll can post more earlier stuff if there's a want for it, let me know.

in the meantime, meet the Shaolin Temple Defenders. I've listened to this time and again this week and upped it but until today didn't have the time to post.

Los Charly's Orchestra - Chicano Disco Funk (2010)

2010-11-03T10:35:00.003-06:00

Coming into contact with this album has brought my whole site into place. The funk/soul and disco sounds coming from this crew are simply epic. This is right at the top of the albums i've posted; the epitome of what i'm trying to share with everyone. It's just simply brilliant. Take it, enjoy it, rip it, share it, and listen to it loud.

2010-10-11T15:33:00.002-06:00

here's the big band i was talking about. this is pretty great stuff. i have another called "the funky muchachos" to try and get up today if i can yet. they aren't quite "big band" but they are instrumentally brilliant; doing a few covers of classic funk music. i'm listening to them for the first time right now so i will try and post them today. in the meantime, enjoy one and all !!

2010-09-20T14:01:00.002-06:00

The Haggis Horns - Keep On Movin' (2010)

2010-08-02T12:23:00.004-06:00

The Haggis Horns are back and so am I with 4 new goodies. This one is in line with many others here, in the funk soul ways as is Diesler's 'Tie Breakers'. However the 3rd and 4th are something different. There are 3 albums from 'The Budos Band' and i have 'II' and 'III' to put up. Those are the names of their albums and if you want to hear some serious horn section work at it's best, these 2 from The Budos Band are highly recommended. All coming!!

2010-07-07T10:26:00.006-06:00

in the line of good funk soul music fronted by brilliant women, here is Candice Monique and the Optics. Like the Underbelly with Roxie Ray and others i've posted, she's very good at what she does. too bad pop cultured society doesn't allow people to really hear talented musicians and their music. that's another reason why i'm here and sharing. enjoy; 2 more albums to come today.

The Cherry Boppers - Play it Again (2008)

2010-06-29T11:29:00.002-06:00

2010-03-23T22:15:00.008-06:00

I'm excited about these 4, but moreso for the next 2 in general. The Sound Stylistics play the great soul funk i love, but they do it instrumental style. I can't seem to stop listening to them. I have both this one and the next one in my car right now, and have so for a couple of months. This music doesn't seem to want to leave my playlist. besides, it's just that good.

this site is in recognition of letsgogetit, the site that brought me all these wonderful albums. they deserve to be heard and recognized. i wish letsgogetit was still around, but it appears as though that is not a possibility.

meantime, i'm going to post albums i got from that site, because i think that's what they would want.
