Brand New Heavies "Trunk Funk Best of" Album Review
The funk is over
Reading at the leaflet inside the CD, BNH say America forgot to funk in the 90's. I think now there is no funk at all. BNH were the last hope and now it's all over. There are some excellent groups (I've been an Incognito fan for years and Jamiroquai is on my CD player almost every week), but BNH is what you expect for real funk.
This compilation is the answer. Listen to it and you will find a pure, complex, grooving and marvellous music. I cannot find anything but good songs. I've got some favourites, of course. Some of them make me sing, some make me dance, some make me smile. All of them make me feel optimistic.
My favourite:
- Saturday Nite: great for dance.
- Dream Come True: incredible 7 minute song. Wow wow, yeah yeah.
- Dream On Dreamer: a masterpiece: lyrics, rhythm, arrangements, everything.
- Midnight At The Oasis: extraordinary melody.
- You Are The Universe: the best love declaration.
- Shelter: boys also sing.
- You've Got A Friend: versions don't have to be worse than the original.
- Gimme One Of Those: perfect to make you smile.
I feel delighted listening to this CD. But, after this, BNH is over. And so is funk.

Zapp "The New Zapp IV U" Album Review
The New Zapp 4 U On Station WZAP!!!!
After three amazing albums starting from 1980's incredibleZapp album Roger and Zapp finaly decided that it was time to back away from P-Funk as it's primary musical influence.On this album Zapp decide to head in two new directions-one of which is more it's own style and a hefty dose of Prince's Minneapolis sound a long the way.While 'The New Zapp 4 U' doesn't shy away from technology (their music had always been based around it) their own funk,along with the fact they were throwing hip-hop scratching into the mix with more regularity really push this music out!All nine of these songs are incredible;in terms of funk "It Doesn't Really Matter" is almost impossible to beat,with it's roll call tribute to Roger's heros (namely James Brown and Stevie Wonder) while "Cas-Ta-Spellome" and "Ja Ready To Rock" actually go deeper into the bass then you'd normally think one could go. Going for the kind of variety Zapp were always so good at presented "Computer Love" is probably the finest example of quiet storm scratch hip-hop (long before LL Cool J did "I Need Love") while Zapp take "I Only Have Eyes For You" into heavy 80's elronically textured dynamics.80's technophobes beware yes but it's my favorite cover of that song!"Ichin' For Your Twitchin'" is probably the most thoroughly Minneapolis type tunes on this recording-it even reference Prince's "Irresistable Bitch" in part of the melody!"Rock 'N' Roll" really does what it says-throws some heavy hard rock guitar riffs into what sounds like either a black mans tribute (or parody)of 80's hair metal,with a funky twist.The bouncy "Radio People" has one of the most clever melodies (as well as some seriously baaad funk backbeats) on any Zapp album.The biggest treat on the album is "Make Me Feel Good",the very best of Zapp's "modern blues" tunes they always included on their albums with it's tasteful synthesizers and irresistable rhythms!A lot of people,even some reviewers will tell you here that there are too many electronic sound effects on this album and the songs are missing.Well that is sure not the case;the songs here far transend whatever (albeit KILLER) electronics Zapp throw at the listener!So if your a Zapp fan or are exploring the very finest of 80's funk or electro funk this is one of the best places to go!
