Stellar Tracks of the Moment

Since some of you have been patiently awaiting the answer to last week's Plain Brown Wrappers, I decided to reveal that for you today. Like I said before, those of you who guessed that this was not an American band were definitely on the right track. Nathan (N0) knew the answer right away, but was kind enough not to spoil the fun for the rest of the readers out there.
Drumroll please... The answer is:















Dun- Eros- Way Out-of Print
This record was originally released in 1981, but it received a brief reissue in 2000 with four bonus tracks, and then again in 2006 as a French import. Three of the bonus tracks are early live takes from the original album. Unfortunately, this was to be the first and last album to surface from this complex prog band from France. When I checked Amazon, it only came up with one new copy at $122.61, and one used copy at $49.95. If you have the coin, this one is obviously well worth the money. Otherwise, just enjoy this copy I have uploaded for your listening pleasure.

I debated whether it was best to post the following tracks on Ear Fuzz or Eclectic Grooves, and I just decided to bless the Eclectic Grooves readers with a batch of stellar tracks. These are songs that I would consider showstoppers, facemelters, mind-blowers( Insert your own adjective for what you would call them). I would love to hear what some of the tracks are that you would consider to be in this category.

Eddie Fisher- Jeremiah Puckett
Lavice and Company- Thoughs Were the Days
Association P.C- Phenis
JD & The Evil's Dynamite Band- Kalhari
The Mayfair Set- Desert Fun

Please click here to download these songs in one file.

Two things that are on the horizon: a long overdue I Hear a New World podcast focusing on the talented female musicians that are currently shaking my foundation, and some full-album downloads that are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Until, then, enjoy the tunes I have posted today.

Your comments are always appreciated!

MF DOOM: Spell his name with ALL CAPS

Image
According to sources close to the legendary rapper/producer MF DOOM, he died on 10/31/20.  His family has chosen to keep this news private until now, and the cause of death has yet to be disclosed.Below is a screenshot of the heartfelt dedication from Doom's Instagram account posted by his wife Jasmine. I am completely gutted, and am hardly able to string words together for this post. Doom's material throughout the early years as Zev Love X with KMD, to the last two decades spent with the alter egos of MF Doom, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughan and Metal Fingers has thoroughly enriched my life. Madvillainy , his unprecedented collaboration with Madlib in 2004, will go down as one of the best records in the history of hip-hop. Doom's style is difficult to pinpoint, as he was able to rap fast with a slow, booming baritone, while delivering his lines in a cadence that was like no other before him. He made what he was doing seem effortless, but he was undoubtedly giving it his all.
