_Sextant_ is unbelievably great. Not too funky-- if you've heard
_Crossings_ & _Mwandishi_ on the 3lps-on-2cds Warner bros. comp you've got
an idea of the feel-- spacey, mystical, and on _Sextant_, replete
w/mind-blowing electronic analog synth fuckery from the good Dr. Patrick
Gleeson. It's one of the keynote albums of the mailing list I run,
Kozmigroov (psychedelic & space jazz & funk, etc), & I think it's been
raved about at length in the archives (
http://www.best.com/~arzachel/kozmigroov ) if you feel like digging around
to read more. Guaranteed to blow your head.

If you're looking for booty-shakin' more than head-blowin', try the
_Thrust_ reissue. And if you can find it, get the live in Japan _Flood_
which will both shake your head & blow your booty. "Scratch that; reverse
it"-- Willy Wonka.

And Mark-- sorry again about being a snitty twerp the other day; I've been
enjoying your contributions considerably! And you're right, even if you
were just asking questions, at least it stands a chance of getting people
talking.
