Funkadelic "Standing on the Verge of Getting it on" Album Review
Good times funk album.
"Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. This album is a great feel-good funk album with lots of funny improvs and great songs.

Funkadelic "Tales of Kidd Funkadelic" Album Review
I wanna go there come and take me there
you want weird pasychedelic beats come here every song on here is a banger if you like funkadelic that is the first song has michael hampton going stupid on lead guitar one of his best underrated solos, undisco kidd is hilariuos bernie worrell makes the strangest keyboard noises ever the title is the strangest tune on the album and one of the weirdest p funk songs in history bernie does a 15 minute workout with george and the crew hollering strange souinds legend has it that jessica cleaves was so terrified of the music she ran away shouting this is the devil. lastly is my favorite cut on the album how do you view you another weird p funk track the vocals are strange but it's p funk and bernie does some strange stuff too funkadelic fans should buy this yesterday.

Jamiroquai "Dynamite" Album Review
JAMIROQAUI 'S "DYNAMITE" FEELS MORE LIKE AN ACME EXPLOSION.
Let's admit it everyone, There's a part in all of us that love the 70's. From the music down to the social lifestyle, the 70's was a golden age of sorts in american pop culture. You still hear a lot of the music from that decade, a lot of the artists still have careers from that era, a lot of the movies and television series are showed on a regular basis, and alternate designs of some of the fashions has found its way into our generation. So weather we want to admit or not, the 70's has left a lasting impression on modern culture that hasn't been done by any other decade before or after the 70's ended. As it relates to Jamiroqaui, Jason Kay has made it clear that he's a 70's enthusiast and that's Dynamite's strength and weakness.
As for strengths, This is their most well rounded album since "Traveling Without Moving". There's a steady balance between disco soul, funk, and quiet storm soul. The disco soul that Jamiroqaui have been experimenting with is at its most soulful and best on Dynamite. Not only does their disco soul sound fully realized, but it doesn't feel as synthetic as it did on its predecessor "A funk Odyessy". As the case with the rest of their albums, they do a stellar job at capturing the sound of 70's soul (Perhaps more convincingly than a lot of their other contemporaries who
aim(ed) for the same sound). Where as we could only hear our parents talk about the greatness of Michael Jackson and Motown, we get to experience it with Dynamite.
However, The problem with this album is the problem the plagues the rest of their catalog. UNORGINALITY. Jay Kay wears his influences on his sleeve so heavy until he doesn't have a personality of his own. The joy of listening to artists of the 70's is that they had interesting personalities to go with the innovative music they made (Bob Marley, Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, etc.) While Jay Kay does a excellent job of capturing the essence of Steive and Michael's music, he doesn't show people exactly who he is outside of his Idols. That's always been perhaps the most annoying thing about Jamiroqaui. You would think a band who has a healthy appreciation for 70's r&b would deliver some compelling material that's original. Instead, they always end up sounding like a first rate "Tribute Band" more than a real band with a voice of their own. What's even more frustrating about "Dymanite" is that if "Off the Wall" hadn't exsist, this would be one of R&B's all time greats. but since that album does exsist and it's hailed as a timeless classic, it just make Jay Kay look like the consumate rip off artist that a lot of people have grown to know him as.
I don't mean to be harsh, but a band with this much potential can do a lot better than recycle music cliches from the 70's. If Jay Kay want to stand a chance of being remembered as one of the all time greats, he need to do what artists of the 70's did to cement their legendary status. He need to take styles that were previously popular and transcend it into a style of his own. Then Jay kay and company will really be "Dynamite!" As the title of my review states, this album is like an acme explosion. it's entertaining, but it doesn't feel real.

Rick James "Reflections" Album Review
Hardest Rick James cd to acquire.......
At the time of release (1990), who knew how unique this greatest hits cd would be, compared to future upgrades? As one of a number of "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits Of" cds released on Motown's greatest solo funkster, also released on vinyl at the time, this cd, only checking in with 10 songs, might cause one to say, "Who cares about this one"? "At this point there's a 2 cd anthology availible, covering many more songs". However, before this cd became long gone, prices had soared, even for used copies,to above $50.00! For whatever reason, this is the only cd release on the beloved funkster with the great ballad "Oh, What A Night For Love"! It's not on the other cds! Even the clean vinyl is no match for the sound quality that exudes from the song on cd. We can only trust that Universal will reissue this cd at some point. Even at inflated prices the cd sold pronto!
