The Nard album is fucking brilliant, got into it last year after a friend tipped me off to it. So sweet. Everybody loves Nard, whenever you drop a tune from it you get comments.

Nice haul.

seriously good haul there tom!
that Bernard Wright LP and Mr Fingers’ What About This Love are serious favourites.

as for the new stuff, I don’t like the A side on the Mr White but the b-side is excellent. def agree with trl above, the short track at the end is the winner. but it’s not as good as 25yrs from Alpha, Sun Can’t Compare.

the new Rahaan is ace, I actually thought that the kokomo track was the Isley Brothers until you pointed out otherwise, very similar voice!

the Music Institute 12″ is brilliant too, although I actually think the May track is the lesser cut on it, not bad but doesn’t add to his catalog really

Mr White’s voice is soooo good!
Really feeling the last track on this release,
however the change @ 3.30mins is 30 seconds i could do without.

damn Tom you scored some mighty good tunes in this batch. got me jealous. I can’t wait to get my hands on that Shake 12″ if I can track it down. I have a copy of the Music Institute EP #1 coming to me in the mail and by the sounds of it those tracks don’t disappoint.
on your older finds: “What about this love” is my joint, classic emotional content that always makes me feel both joyously good in that melancholically sad way. I’m also big on John Carpenter’s stuff, ever since I saw Escape from NY as a kid. I didn’t know who Isaac Hayes was but that theme song always stuck with me.

That Azoto tracks contains one of the littlest voices of italo™. You heard it here first

i got mine from the man himself, i don’t know if any distros are carrying their records in the US or not. dope jams does get in some imports, as does Downtown304. the shake isnt out in full release yet, so that might be why you’re not seeing it around.

Where can I get the new Shake stateside?
Been trying to get the stuff on Morphine on vinyl in NYC and it hasn’t been easy. Hopefully Dope Jams will bite the bullet and get the imports.

The last couple of minutes of the Mayday track on that Music Institute 12 sound like a very early, raw version of Strings of Life.
