Having woken up to a glorious sunny morning (yes in the UK !!) I reached for my copy of Fusa Riot (Bobby Hughes Experience) and slapped it in the drawer.
I guess some of you will have got this one already (released 1999) but for those interested in a bit of 70's futuristic funk with electronic organ, breakbeats & flute then check it out. Track of the album - My French Brother |

No mistique I'm afraid as flava just means "flavour".
Maybe I listen to too much hip-hop !! Check out: Roots - Things Fall Appart and enjoy the flava !! Peace |

My education has been suitably enhanced.I could say at this point if you mean "flavour" why not say, er, flavour?

Dev,
i met mr may a few times in a friends record shop and talked about many things including the sound of his records. i wanted to know why the hi-hats on his records just fizzed on any sound system. he said he was just trying to reproduce the sound he heard in sound systems from his youth. all of these used piezo tweeters and so fizzed like buggery. i lived on his mayday mixes for about 6 months in 89. ashley |

Wai-lon,
Nice to see another sophisticated listener posting recommendations on "futuristic 70's funk". Just wanted to bring to your attention a recommendation I posted last year regarding "Sonny Cheeba Rocks the World" by Blackout. A quasi-70's futuristic funk-drenched 70's blaxploitation-updated-to-2000 soundtrack type release. You might enjoy it. |

Nice one. I'm always open to a recomendation or two. I'll check it out and let you know how I get on.
The last bit of funk that I bought was Funk Spectrum 3. Surprisingly Pete Rock helped compile it (and pretty well too) alongside the respectable Keb Darge who seemes to have toned his set down a bit in comparison to his Legendary Deep Funk series (well, vol 2 anyway). Thanks again W |

Given the extent and lyrical ability of the English language what is the need for (essentially) nonsense words like "flava" or "phat"? What do they actually achieve? Do other languages suffer from anything similar?
Are they the product of laziness perhaps? (Flavour has 7 letter, flava only 5) Yea, verily, what the heck does "phat" mean anyway? Is there no word already in existence that couldn't be used instead? steve (baffled, and who,if he felt anyone other than his wife, would be a dead man...) |

1) (adj) Rich like butter, really good, extremely well put together. "ATCQ be putting together some phat beats"
2) (adj) If a girl was phat, she had Plenty o' Hips And Thighs, in other words PHysically ATtractive; old slang. Think 60's or early 70's here. A bit more modern: Pussy, Hips And Tits or even Pretty Hot And Tempting. Just for you Steve I've spent the last five minutes surfing the www and have come up with this; Hip-Hop Dictionary. Not the definitive guide but now you can stay hip to the game - homes BTW what's the difference between this and a Yorkshire man saying stuff like "nowt", "owt" and "yer sen" etc ? Stay Black W |
