Just catching up on some older e-mails about the "old school ELECTRO" thread. I remember hearing these tracks (see below) for the first time and not quite sure what the hell it was! After listening to these on my gigantic BOOM box (anyone remember those?) on cassette's from radio broadcasts' on WTLC (Indianapolis,IN.). I still have them and from time to time I have been known to drop them into the old ALPINE tape deck. Play at Your Own Risk - PLANET PATROL Planet Rock - Afrika Bambatta and the Soulsonic Force Clear - CYBOTRON Jam On Revenge - NEWCLEUS Al-Naafiysh(the soul) - HASHIM etc. etc. etc. I would say that "Planet Rock" was pretty much everone's favorite with umpteen mixes of that floating around the country. Although not "electro" per'say, ZAPP's "More Bounce To The ounce" was a personal favorite and then later Herbie Hancocks "Rockit" and mixes shortly after breaking mucho ground! Gosh I feel somewhat "old" after dusting off those memories. BTW we just called this style "Electric Funk" or "New Style". _____________________________________ ---------------------------------------------~ Curt King xxxxx@xxxx.xxx COLUMBIA AUDIO Chicago,IL.USA.EARTH "Taste is the enemy of art" _____________________________________ ----------------------------------------------~
