Having swapped cassettes for iPod, it's time to roll out a modern musical caravan, exchanging camels for Land Rovers.
iTunes unearthed a cache of ripped CDs while composting its musical library, stuff I'd mostly forgotten. The dollhouse square footage of the Secret Garden dictates that, like an iceberg, the bulk of my musical collection exists unseen below the surface. This is like finding a core sample of what'll be available at the new place, very exciting.
I'm starting out with some funky soul music.
Blaxploitation,
Blaxploitation, the Sequel and
Blaxploitatioin: The Payback.
7 1/2 hours of unadulterated bassassery.
A great series of anthologies, digging deep into the catalog and venturing a few steps closer to the intersection of jazz and funk than most.
It's a fine compliment to Rhino's excellent In Yo Face! series, both are highly recommended.
/edit
Another great funk rediscovery, a Roy Ayers anthology.
Rock solid, although I favor the later stuff over his earlier more conventional tracks.
