Billy Cobham | Stratus | 1973

Spectrum-Stratus.mp3

After the intro the track really lifts off at 2:55.
This beat and bassline of Stra­tus has been sam­pled by Mas­sive Attack in their tune “Safe from Harm”. From Billy’s first solo album Spec­trum. Amaz­ing how the track keeps it’s tension.

In 1971, with fel­low Davis alum­nus McLaugh­lin, Cob­ham co-founded Mahav­ishnu Orches­tra, a defin­i­tive jazz fusion ensem­ble. Cob­ham toured exten­sively from 1971 to 1973 with the Mahav­ishnu Orches­tra, who released two stu­dio albums and one live album. The orig­i­nal stu­dio ver­sions of tunes on the live album were later released as The Lost Tri­dent Ses­sions in 1999.
In May 1973, while still with the Mahav­ishnu Orches­tra, Cob­ham recorded his first solo album Spec­trum with key­boardist Jan Ham­mer, from the Mahav­ishnu Orches­tra, and gui­tarist Tommy Bolin, who later played with heavy rock band Deep Pur­ple. Just before the Mahav­ishnu Orchestra’s last tour­ing leg, in late 1973, Cob­ham recorded and toured with gui­tarists Car­los San­tana and John McLaugh­lin, in con­certs which fea­tured mate­r­ial from their album Love Devo­tion Sur­ren­der, and Cobham’s own material.

Knights of the Turntables | Fresh Mess

KnightsOfTheTurntables-FreshMess.mp3

Old skool from 1984! Hip hop or elec­tro? B-boy 808 Beats that still sound fresh When hip hop was still inven­tive and cre­ative and before the macho hip hop era!
This is one of the all time clas­sics from The nights of the turntables.The Crew was founded 1983 and the Name “Knights of the Turnta­bles” was based on the title of the Cameo Album “Knights of the Sound­table.
They fea­ture on the all time great Elec­tro street sounds col­lec­tion (My favorite vinyl from 1985). A small bit was in the movie Breakdance.

Pete Namlook & Move D | Wired — Hypoteneuse

Pete Nam­look can put out a decent album in the time it takes the aver­age per­son to get ready for work. This is not to say that every­thing he does is ground­break­ing, trend-setting, or jaw-dropping — but rarely does a FAX release devi­ate too far from its suc­cess­ful for­mula. Wired finds “Pro­lific Pete” with Move D (aka David Moufang) in a col­lab­o­ra­tion that occa­sion­ally mir­rors 1994s Alien Com­mu­nity, Part 1+2, with its patiently unfold­ing beeps and siz­zles that gives way to a beat that won’t quit — nor does it need to.
