#### #### This weeks chart #### ####
1. Modaji - S/T (Laws of Motion) 2xLP
21st century soul boy Dominic Jacobson finally delivers
his first long player! He's come along way since the
days of 'Starburst over Orion'. He's also matured into
one of the finest producers and songwriters around. I'm
feeling very proud to be charting this record number 1.
Respect DHJ.
2. Nathan Haines - Sound Travels (Chilli Funk) 2xLP
So pleased to have all tracks on vinyl. Nathan's album
already destined for classic status. Time will travel
but this long player will live long in our spirits and record
boxes for sure. Infinite journey indeed. The first of many
great albums we hope!
3. Loqate - Miracles (Recloose remix)(Ubiquity) 12"
Main man Matt Chicoine adds another twist to another
Bugz / Orin Walters disguise in Loqate. Just when you
thought it was safe to step off the dance floor and get
yourself a drink, along comes this! Two excellent and
fearless producers, one excellent and adventurous
label. More than enough said.
4. Psyco on da Bus - V/T (Comet) 2xLP
We supported this back last year on CD-R format but
we get the vinyl and give it another bolt. Tony Allen,
Doctor L, Jeff Kellner, Jean-Phi Dary and Cesar Anot
on a bus, on a tour, on a Afro Funk mission! This is
exactly what the title says 'Psyco'! We're on da bus!
5. V/T - Folky (Spectrum Works) CD-R
Acoustic music in digital times! Awesome collection
of new bizniz from suspects such as Scuba, Zero 7,
Les Gammas, Victor Davis. We also digging such
artists as Otto Lamani and Lief too. Pull up a comfy
chair and leave your dancing shoes in the corner!
6. Afronaught - Transcend Me (Apollo) 12"
Soon come! Soon come! Hold on boys and girls.
Whites about so the finished article only days
away! Get ready also for the O-Dawg album to
compliment this excellent twelve.
7. Marcus Worgull - Ole EP (Spectrum Works) 12"
Marcus Who? Not for long! Spectrum Works come
good again and this time we take note of a new kid
on the block in Marcus Worgull. Quality vocal ride too
with Julie Messenger on the 'Havin a Dig' track. More
Germanic broken beat jazzer biz!
8. Fertile Ground - Perception (Counterpoint) 2xLP
Baltimore's best kept secret is official out on vinyl.
Those who had CD's two years back know the story.
Those who don't, need what is a truly moving and
spiritual experience. Respect to Counterpoint for
getting on the case.
9. Sepia - Age of Cool (Underground Evolution) CD-R
Taking from the unreleased 'City of Strangers' album.
This cuts the mustard in a similar vein to last years
stunning 'Surrender' track that some many peeps
missed out on! Sepia outta Chicago and one of the
true secrets of the left hand lane!
10. Vikter Duplaix - Manhood (Rima remix)(Groove Attack) CD-R
Domu teaming up with the Volcov to produce an excellent
twisted version of one of last years classics. Nuff said
when you team these three together. Rima ready to roll!
11. Koop - V/T (Superstudio) 10"
Nuff waltz and bossa bizniz going on here! 3 track sampler
from the forthcoming album including last years blinding
'Waltz for Koop'. Hold tight for a excellent album too.
12. V/A - Visions Sampler (Visions) 2x12"
Alex Attias and friends give us an awesome double
pack of future jazz licks. Featuring Jessica Lauren,
Domu, Stephane Attias with Vanessa Freeman and
the Volcov man gets serious too.
13. Ray Mang & Pete 2 - Praia Do Londres (R&S) 12"
Nice rolling percussive rhythms and with a certain deepness
that brings a warmth and sincerity to the tune. Pitch it down
little and slip gently into modes of hypnotism too! If you
enjoyed Chaser's 'Life in Loiasada' then check this.
14. Mark de Clive-Lowe - Day by Day (DJ Spinna mix)(Universal Jazz) 12"
Slick job by one of New York's finest hip hop producers.
This though on a mid tempo drifter. New Zealand to
New York to New Jazz. Restless Soul get all Caribbean
in the package too with 'El Dia Perfecto'.
15. Jazztronik - Inner Flight (Counterpoint) 2xLP
This not coming through Flower recordings but through
Brighton's Counterpoint label. Japanese fusion exponents
deliver a slice of new and some older sought after
recordings on two mighty slices of vinyl.
16. Kaidi Tatham - Betcha (Original/Son of Scientist mix)(Bitasweet) CD-R
Kaidi letting loose with more mad West London side
stepping! Forget two step, this is twenty two step!
Check soon for more Bitasweet productions coming
through.
17. Reel People feat Nathan Haines - Spiritual (Papa) 12"
Man of the moment Nathan Haines guests on this
warm and soothing slice of quality house music,
from we believe the Chilli Funk stable.
18. Cassandra Wilson/Angelique - Voodoo (Joe Claussell mix)(Blue Note) 12"
Tribal chanting and percussive rhythms on this twelve!
Nippon Nik will be straight on the phone! Cassandra's
husky vocal chords as ever stealing the show.
19. MJ Cole - Tired Games (Nu Yorican Soul mix)(Talkin Loud) 2x12"
Louie Vega & Kenny Dope in their Nu Yorican guise
adding another quality remix to their massively
impressive list of quality productions. Nu Yorican as
always on the more latin, percussive tip.
20. Julie Dexter - The Plan (Main Squeeze) 12"
IG Culture production with the soulful overtones of
now Atlanta resident Julie Dexter. 3 quality mixes
including the awesome 'Bruk Stepper'.
21. DJ Zinc - Casino Royale (True Playerz) Acetate
Premier jazzified DnB tune doing the rounds. Uplifting
cordial beats with soundtrack feel and energy. A
proper roller!
22. Ne Grove - Let it Ride (House mix)(Pure Filth) 12"
Leroy, Marcus and the crew give us a West London
classic with new house vibes! Super dance floor
friendly and with new vocals by Mr Begg. Silk
production as always with 'soul' as the source.
23. Wai Wan & Loretta Heywood - Feelin' Me Feelin' You (Earth Project) 12"
Earth Project going the same way as 'People' records!
Basically from strength to strength. Excellent package in
EP004 including a awesome Atjazz remix. Ms Heywood
as ever, delivering super strong vocals.
24. Dennis Ferrer & Jehlaz - Jehlaz (Ibadan) 2xLP
Deep and soulful house excursion from a excellent
Ibadan compilation by Kerri Chandler and Jerome
Syndrome called 'Saturday'. Jehlaz the deepest cut
and worth the price tag alone.
25. Yesterday's New Quintet - EP (Stones Throw) 12"
More Madlib mayhem! Excellent Lo-Fi hip hop from Quasi
producer. Doing my head in with the riffs and samples used!
Clocked the Tom Browne 'Herbal Scent' one but need help
with the others.
26. Zero Crossing - Missed Torsion (Remixes)(Spinning Wheel) 12"
Well, I had a listen to the flip and Gorden Bennet, There's a
Domu broken beat biscuit to contend with the TAOS A side!
I need to listen to my records more closely! Respect
Spinning Wheel, respect Mr Stanton.
27. Les Gammas meets Clare Fischer - Descarga Yema Ya (Mojo) 2xLP
Choice cut from the Mojo club remix album number two and
really nice to finally get this on plastic. The rest of the album
misses the mark but hey Clare Fischer vs Les Gammas!
28.Two Banks of Four - Homegirl (Sirkus) CD-R
Proper song, proper production! Beautifully sung by Valerie
Ettiene. A story told indeed! If you enjoyed 'Sweet Lullabies'
and 'The Birds Sing' then you need to look out for this. Get
ready for 'Moving' track too!
29. Difusion - Illusive Angel (Solaria) CD-R
Venom and Uncle get it done with this deep and vibrating
sound off! Somewhere between Drum n Bass and West
London broken beats! A bunch of Viper/Venom stuff
sounding off very soon!
30. Hipnotic - Naima (Original & Ian O'Brien mixes)(Laws of Motion) 12"
Over 2 years in the CD player but now in vinyl format! Long
awaited Fleming Brothers interpretation of Coltranes classic.
Chunky eleven min remix from Mr O'B too. Let's hope we
don't have to wait another two years for the follow up!

Goosebumps getting goosebumps with this one.
Minnie Riperton - Come to my Garden
Cadet (GRT 30001) 1971
Minne Riperton, Today's grown-up girl singing of the pure
loves of yesteryear's childhood. Charles Stepney-summing
it all up about joy, by way of brilliant arrangements. This is
where they meet right here on this album. Spiraling into a
new old land where love and joy run hand in hand. Sweet
voiced Minnie Riperton and savvy Charles Stepney; Rock
night stands brought Minnie here, via the Rotary Connection.
Charles has been here before and knows the landscape,
the sun-dappled streets, where love grows among the city
flowers. Happy songs and melancholy. Morning flowers
and afternoon hours and hidden memories. out in the open
with tucked-away sounds of an hour ago, a year, a lifetime.
Sipped from the well of the unconscious. Night dreams,
day dreams and twilight dreams. All rushing back with
Minnie's voice and Charles' sound. Night dreams of where
they've been and daydreams of where they're going. Grow
with "Les Fleur". Hold "Completeness" in your hand. Ride
the "Memory Band". Find shelter in a "Rainy Day In Centerville".
"Close Your Eyes" and drift. "Oh, By The Way" is where you
are now. "Expecting" everything. Look back to "Only When
I'm Dreaming". Find it "Whenever, Wherever". "Come To
My Garden". -- Morry Roth [Liner notes from the original album]
