I paid the piper / I'm gon' pick the tune.

A list of music that I intend to buy, with my reasons for wanting to buy it.
Ask me anything  

J’s Bee - Blind In The Rye [Far Out]
Pressure building jazz composition that demands strict attention. Whoever played drums on this is my new hero/heroine.

Tune’s on soundcloud. Album: Isotope already out.
Go. Get. Now.

D Numbers - New-Age Wondertwinism [Mesa]

Subtle, yet striking piece of brain food. I’m up to three listens so far and each time I’ve noticed a little detail that wasn’t there the first time.

Nice to see this resurface. And as a free download, too.

Take that, Monday morning (and think twice before you mess with me again)!

Eric Lau feat. Rahel - Everytime [Kilawatt Music]
Not exactly a ground-breaker, but it works on me as it’s perfect for 
“getting your spring on”.  Plus, I’ve had a soft spot for Rahel ever since I heard this.

Album, One of Many, should have been out last month, but I can’t seem to find it in any of the usual places(?)

Crimea X - Dream Is Gone [Hell Yeah]
Winner of today’s “I can’t get this tune out of my head” award. I know next to nothing about these guys, this looks like a good place to start righting that particular wrong.

DJ Nu Mark feat. J-Live, M3 & Erica Dee - Tonight [Hot Plate]
True school hip-hop from one of the principles of “true school university” (representing universally).
Love that little tip of the hat to “A charmed life” at 1:27.
Available on Broken Sunlight LP.

Lucas Arruda - Batuque [Favorite] *Brasil, fusion, up-tempo.Spring has sprung. This release proves it.“Batuque” Sounds a bit like Stevie (of the “songs in the key of life” era), sped up and on Cachaça.  Methinks that Lucas is a fan, as he also has a Stevie tribute on his soundcloud. Sambadi LP out now.

Colman Brothers - She Who Dares (Scrimshire Remix) [Wah Wah 45s] *Nu jazz, fusion, mid-tempo.
Another stand out colman brothers remix (to accompany this one by Tall Black Guy). Both are available on Colman Brothers remixed LP.  If I haven’t bought this by the end on the month then I might as well just give up on myself.
