One of the reasons I absolutely love KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic is because I usually wind up getting surprised by tracks I would normally have never even entertained. Take this track for example, the fact that Nora Jones is tied to it would usually force me running in the other direction. Never been that big a fan of her Singer/Songwriter wailing. HOWEVER, Shanka & Kale just knock the melody out of the park with this one, very sedate and atmospheric, it helps blend down Jones’ vocals to the point where the whole track sounds fantastic. Not my usual cup of tea, I will admit but the melody just gets you in the chest and wont let go. Taken from the 2007 album Breathing Under Water, an album I am currently downloading to my ipod 😀

Da Shootaz – Joyride [1997]
March 24, 2011
Im pretty sure Loleatta probably didnt see a dime from the sale of Grand Theft Auto 2 or from the Single that was released by Da Shootaz for using the “Sweet!” part of “Sweet Sensation” from the Love Sensation accapella.
Anyways, this was the theme tune to what I consider to be the best incarnation of Grand Theft Auto. None of this sandbox crap, this was proper 1999 carnage 🙂

A song immortalised by Skeelo, who lifted pretty much the entire chorus track for “I Wish” but dont let that stop the enjoyment. This is a top flight Funk/Boogie track with some mental twangy bass from Marcus Miller. Grab this whole album, its one of the true unsung hero’s of early 80’s Disco/Funk.
