i second the jacob's optical stairway recommendation. i think it's out of print now, but I still see cd copies floating around and you can get all the tracks + some excellent remixes (by claude young, jmajik) at cductive.com. for those interested in 4 hero's jazzy rhodes side, check the track universal love. there's a remake on 2 pages, but it's not as good as the original, which was on their "parallel universe" album and about a million compilations. dego/4 hero's remixes are excellent too. they've done nu yorican soul, terry callier, global communication, tintonton duvante, talvin singh and a bunch of others. my favourite 4 hero remix, and one of my favourite remixes _ever_ is their take on "meiso" by dj krush and the roots. a truly outstanding track, if only more hip hop and jungle could sound like this: nice mid tempo apaches, warm rhodes... and the roots are excellent (how is that new roots album anyway?...) regarding timeless: >> Most underrated electronic album of all time, in my opinion. Maybe it was >> Rob Playford doing the majority of the programming on "Timeless" (the >> track), I just don't care 'cuz it's incredible (especially for 1994-95) and >> completely unequalled since, to my ears. If anyone has objections (with >> examples), I'd love to hear them...literally. >>> >>>You won't hear me disagree. I liked the album (And the track) a lot, and >>>I'm still listening to it once in a while. >>> >>>>> I even like "Sea of Tears" !! >>> >>>'What are you doing here ?' 'I'm ??? the tears.' <- What she's saying ??? > >she's saying "i'm washing away the tears" > >what an outstanding track sea of tears is. it and dark metal (12" from 97 or >so) pretty much confirm that goldie and rob playford were the shit together. > >i don't know if timeless is "the most underrated album of all time" but it >has does have its moments of brilliance, like title cut, state of mind and >sea of tears. but let's remember that when it came out, it was far from >underrated -almost everyone (journos, dj's, other producers) was on goldie's >nut. the backlash only started after "mother" came out. > > >RJ
