Cymande (1973) more music like this

by Cymande

Invigorating head music done Rastafarian style by Cymande. "Zion I" is a spiritual chant put to music, setting the mood for Cymande. A laid-back "One More" lulls you into subliminal meditation before "Getting It Back" jolts you into some scintillating Jamaican funk-fusion. There's a message in many of Cymande's cuts, with "Listen," and "Bra" (a ...

Essential Mix: Classic Edition

Essential Mix: Classic Edition (2002) more music like this

by Grandmaster Flash

During the '90s, it seemed nearly every year brought yet another Grandmaster Flash compilation -- so much so that classic productions like "White Lines (Don't Do It)" and "The Message" began sounding played out. Finally, in 2002, two labels finally started paying attention to Grandmaster Flash the seminal DJ, instead of Grandmaster Flash the chart ...

Renegades of Funk [Bonus Tracks]

Renegades of Funk [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this

by Cymande

Renegades of Funk, released in 2005, is 2000's Soul of Rasta -- also released by the Newhouse label -- in expanded form. The earlier set was a perfectly adequate anthology of Cymande's three '70s albums, but this one adds a pair of "unreleased bonus tracks" (the poor "Trevorgus" and the decent "Bird"), in addition to album cut "Zion I." If you ...

Crooklyn, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The second collection of songs from Spike Lee's Crooklyn is nearly good as the first, featuring a wealth of first-rate '70s soul and R&B. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The Best of Blaxploitation

The Best of Blaxploitation (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Numerous compilations of '70s soul, funk, and fusion have been compiled in the name of blaxploitation throughout the years, whether or not all the inclusions were actually used in blaxploitation films (granted, just about everything from this era was fit for soundtrack use). Union Square's The Best of Blaxploitation retraces a lot of familiar ...

Back to Our Roots, Vol. 1

Back to Our Roots, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this

by Too Bad

Too Bad tackles ten funk and soul songs with stripped-down, lean arrangements on this release, with a set including songs by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder. There's a hint of jazz to the execution, but it doesn't get far out. For the most part, these are instrumental renditions, though Deborah Lynn Cole takes vocals ...

Hip Hop Roots

Hip Hop Roots (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

An entry-level class on breaks that's more like your favorite recess activity, Tommy Boy's Hip Hop Roots is based on some of the most notorious tracks sampled throughout the history of hip-hop. This demonstrates the keen ears required to hear the potential in unlikely sources -- take Billy Squier's "The Big Beat" (Run-D.M.C.'s "Here We Go," U.T.F ...

Blueprint

Blueprint (2001) more music like this

by A Guy Called Gerald

Following on from Jacques Lu Cont's Blueprint mix of 2000, A Guy Called Gerald salutes the '70s funk and soul that influenced him with a mix of the usual suspects (Funkadelic, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Barry White) and a few surprises (Sylvia Striplin, Cymande, the Whispers, Mtume). Though the selections are all class, Gerald doesn't do much with ...

Soul Classics, Vol. 8 [Collectables] (2002) more music like this

Though it's one of the shorter volumes in the Soul Classics series, Vol. 8 features some of the best music, including the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There," McFadden & Whitehead's "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now," and Teddy Pendergrass' "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loos" among its nine tracks.

The Further Adventures of Funk Soul Brothers (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

With the exception of the Meters' "Cissy Strut," this is for the most part lesser-known '60s/'70s funk. But obscurity doesn't mean poor quality. This CD's treats include Cymande's "Bra," Lonnie Liston Smith's "Lean Meat," Pee Wee Ellis' "Moon Walk," and Curtis Mayfield's "You're So Good to Me." Other hard-to-find treasures include Baby Huey & the ...

Funk: The Essential Album (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

It's natural to look at a collection calling itself "the essential" anything and want to stump the compiler. So a perusal of Funk: The Essential Album is warranted to see if any major funkateers were skipped over. James Brown? Got him. Got Maceo Parker and the J.B.'s, too -- even Bobby Byrd. Funkadelic? Check. (No Parliament, but they were the ...

Standing on the Verge: The Roots of Funk (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like dozens of collections before it, Standing on the Verge traces the development of funk and pays homage to its chief instigators. What keeps it from being old hat is a refreshing shortage of hits. Most of the songs are familiar (some were indeed hits) but they're not the ones you'd most casually guess. Instead of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," ...
