Afrobeat & Juju(beat). Already gotta a lot of Fela Kuti and Sunny Ade. (And Shina Peters, but the keyboards and production always bug me.) Anyway, recommended afrobeat revival or og groups? Needs nasty horns, funky bass, long groove. So the more funk & soul influence the better (for now). Already know Antibalas and Kokolo. Links to mixes & blogs, too, please. (gently caress, while we're at it latin deep funk that's not Budos / Bronx River Parkway / Daptone etc.)

MC Solaar is usually the go-to intro French MC that I see dropped. 90's rap that's a little beat dated, but still works well. Prose Combat & MC Solaar are the two albums I'd suggest, but the title track from Paradisiaque almost makes the album worth it. Paradisiaque - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6Y_xxPQsw e: Oh, poo poo. Cut Killer. French DJ so just kinda related but I forgot about his cut in La Haine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ailZa_cVLrM#t=1m50s e2: That's Supreme NTM being sampled in the Cut Killer vid, they're good if you French want hardcore more than the acid-jazz beat mix of Solaar.

Destro posted:Anyone know of similar songs to Funkadelic - Maggot Brain Maggot Brain's special, sorry. The guitar player's Eddie Hazel and he has a pretty particular style, but his career was kind of hosed up because of drug/brain issues. The albums following Maggot Brain didn't have much input from him until 'Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On' which has Eddie getting some on just about every track. So check out that one and the Funkadelic S/T. Nothing that really approaches Maggot Brain, though.

Business Octopus posted:Where should I go with Soul after Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Sly Stone and Marvin Gaye and Isaac Hayes? I have a particular love of soul music that's a bit sad or nostalgic or dark rather than fun and light-hearted. These come to mind first since they're on regular rotation, but I might dig through my stuff for things I haven't heard in a while. Sam Cooke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE4qBjKCtBM Them Two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr7gm9WY_Mk Syl Johnson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVw-aoxFDIE / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKfZYgHm8So / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoaDdzSuA7M Freddie King: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y99nD3p_vTE OV Wright: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFUMKvNvsV8 Gil Scott Heron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOUMvjw9RlA / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upKsTCKYm4E Miriam Makeba (70's Miriam is the soul Miriam): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZOV7jKxyOU Bobby Bland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HqtAXFaoTI (still love these two albums) Lyn Collins cover of Bill Withers (who you should already be listening to): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi1HLbCA2SY Baby Huey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H27iGiuA_Xk Lee Fields: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZ2vuWJaeI Vicki Anderson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bggbM-11ouE There's also a bunch of depressing Impressions songs that aren't on youtube for some reason. As to "where should I go with soul", the artists you've listed span a big chunk of time and styles. My usual suggestion to people is to connect groups/people you like via cross membership. Like Curtis Mayfield, check the Impressions. Like The Temptations, check Eddie Kendricks solo. The better thing to do is to follow labels, and the artists you picked are the big ones. Stevie Wonder (Tamla/Motown), Al Green (Hi/Motown), Isaac Hayes (Stax). Get familiar with the Stax & Motown singles, since they define the soul sound for most people and there's a ton of different label comps for both of 'em. Hi, Curtom, Back Beat, T-Neck, Chess were also big national labels worth checking out. Atco, too, since they had Donny Hathaway, King Curtis, Otis Redding, Roberta Flack (I think) but the label wasn't genre specific. Best poo poo's regional/deep cuts, though.

Fonzarelli posted:I'm looking for some guitar heavy funk. I'd really like to start learning funk guitar, so I'm specifically looking for stuff with lots of awesome guitar chords, where the guitar is pretty audible and slick sounding. I already listen to a bit of funk, but the guitar is mostly just a few scratchy chords which is pretty easy to learn, and doesn't give me much to work with. Anybody got any suggestions for funk bands with some killer riffs? As far as regional sounds go, New Orleans pretty much had the guitar lead sound locked down so you'd probably like the first two Meters albums (S/T, Struttin). Unless you're talking about the wah sound, then you probably want to check Ernie Vincent's song Dap Walk. (People need to be more specific when they're talking 'funk', since early soul extension funk is a big difference from mid/late 70 'fonk'.) Grant Green's 'Live At The Lighthouse' 2xLP always shows up in crates, mainly because of Greg Williams on drums, but it's pretty much jazz guitar with a tight rhythm crew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbEPnC17re0). (Bonus sleeper b-side guitar tune; Joe Pass's A Time For Us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKk_SEsr6GQ ) e: poo poo, and the two guitar line song 'Side Saddle': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK6nRMgL__4 JehovahsWetness fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jan 21, 2010 |

There's tons, jesus *tons* of slick jazz funk from the late 70's that's kind of that sound. Check the late CTI, Kudu, and Fantasy catalog (late Blue Note, too) all when soul jazz went... bad. A lot of the late 70s and early 80s Burtom catalog has a lot of that stuff, too. The format of jazz funk was for longer songs, though, so most of them lack the short punch of a production theme song.

Pewburners and roots/blues influenced gospel? For most of this kind of stuff you're not looking at many individual artists since a lot of it only survives in comps and the sources were 78s or 45s. Fire In My Bones - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NACY72 Big 3CD set with some seriously good tracks, Amazon has previews of everything. Arhoolie has a number of gospel lps that they've kept in print for awhile, but the most uptempo is probably Louis Overstreet: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000001L1 Missippi Records has a couple of gospel LPs, but Life Is A Problem is probably the best one. As for individual groups, see if you can hunt down best of comps from early material (may be sketchy, since early catalog ownership is iffy): Dixie Hummingbirds, Lula Collins, Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, Sensational Nightingales (esp w/ Julius Cheeks or his solo stuff), Swan Silvertones. There's a handful of specific labels that covered a lot of this material in 60s that had a *ton* of output, but if you're going after og copies then best ofs and comps are the way to roll.

I don't think there's going to be much roots dub / 1st gen stuff that's in the vein you're looking for. There's lot of melancholy tracks, but nothing I'd really call dark or abrasive. I think you'd find more stuff in the 80's style dub (Jammy, Mad Professor) or the late 80s/90s UK dub (Alpha & Omega, Jah Shaka, Dub Syndicate, Manasseh).

Death Dealer posted:Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2rVnRwW0h8 For reference, as I just realized it's a bit dumb not to give an example. It's the high energy of the piece that I'm hoping to find more of, as a lot of the Bebop station on Pandora, as well as the "exemplary" Bebop seems rather low energy. Yeah, the Tank! track is more jazz inspired than anything else, it's not really within a solid vein/sub-genre of jazz. So you're not going to find an old, actual full album with this kind of thing. The solo style in Tank! is pretty much sped up Hard Bop, not Bebop. So for straight jazz recs you may check out Art Blakey, earlier Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Horace Silver, etc. Basically the late 50's / early 60's Blue Note heavy hitters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKXsnDvILmI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1GrP6thz-k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGQ3S-niKaM The backing track of Tank! is really a riff on the 60's big band / commercial / cinema sound. Big beat / now sound stuff that was produced a lot in Europe for movie or commercial use. Definitely a niche genre but there's a lot of compilation CDs out there for it, although they'll tend to toe into lounge and bossa influenced stuff. General mod / groovy sound. Google "eurospy" or just "spy jazz" and you'll get a bunch of stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfev5jLB_xI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGfbdwD0Q50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibo5SnMaq94 ( I think the go-to goony response for the cowboy bebop jazz question is Soil & Pimp Sessions, which is awful but hey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axzOcH9KhN0 )

Everytime someone asks for "soul" it's kind of non-descriptive, since you're talking about a genre that's strong across close to 3 decades with a *huge* stylistic difference based on region and time. Soooo given Otis Redding, here's some solo male Southern Soul? Geater Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS8hqWFI5ng Lee Moses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BpAbyIIqL4 OV Wright: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFUMKvNvsV8 Early Al Green (Pre-Hi & Hi Era): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1vfVNGL5Wk But I mean, there's major names Sam Cooke, Solomon Burke, Wilson Picket, etc. The early Atlantic and Stax lineups, etc, etc.

There's two De Wolfe focused comps called Bite Hard / Bite Harder that have some nice tracks. Le Jazzbeat Vol 1 & 2 are good and I think are mostly MP2000 sourced. There's a ton of comps that are kind of hit or miss, and a lot of stuff gets missed (like Themes and a ton of Italian stuff). There's a lot of great italian OST stuff that got recycled into libraries and labels like Easy Tempo comp them for now sound / ultra lounge stuff.
