> Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 16:30:48 -0400 From: Sheila Santos <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> Excuse my naivety but I'd like to hear what the connections with idm and James Brown are. > Refer to the beat structure of *most* early Cabs and a huge amount of R Kirk solo material...and Cabaret Voltaire's early eighties ( 83' ? 84 ' ? ) tune, " James Brown". James Brown was also, as mentioned in this thread and others ad infinatum, *the* model for funk rhytmn samples ( duh....."funky drummer"...sorry for being so obvious). Many of the sample artists often mentioned on this list were doodling with JB horns and mid 70s JB material for *years* before they got tired of it and moved on. Also I must agree with someone's recent post that JB does have a machine like grace. Though the *funk* is definitely a *human* vibe ( and should stay that way) it also comes through with so many of the machine music maestros...Kraftwerk was mentioned in this thread. Said Bambaata of Kraftwerk ( paraphrasing here ) " they were the only white people in the world who understood James Brown " Peter np: HULA - 1,000 hours ( now *there's* some industrial goes proto- idm influence for 'ya ) Any ambient heads into *this* atypical Hula double LP? WOW. Some slept on stuff here. I was always suprised that they never made it, especially this amazing LP. ******************************************************** xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, <also: xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> Peter Becker - Distribution Manager/ DJ Pool / Mail Order/ Demo Tape Filter Asphodel - PO Box 51, Chelsea Station, NY NY 10113 Ph: (212) 604-9362, FAX: (212)604-0783 http://www.asphodel.com *********************************************************
