| | Fantastic Johnny C Boogaloo Down Broadway CD Fantastic Johnny C Discography of CDs
Hot on the heels of his "Boogaloo Down Broadway" single, this album was not a burningly original statement, and didn't contain anything else on the order of "Boogaloo Down Broadway," but was an enjoyable mix of soul covers and originals penned by producer Jesse James. The arrangements cook really well in a lean funk-soul groove; "Cool Broadway," admittedly a knockoff of the "Boogaloo Down Broadway" vibe, has a fractured rhythm anticipating the innovations of the Meters a couple of years later. "Got What You Need" was a small soul hit, and "Baby I Need You" was a capable deep soul-type ballad. The CD reissue adds two bonus tracks: "Hitch It to the Horse," a minor hit in 1968, and "Look What Love Can Make You Do," awhich is basically the same track as "Boogaloo Down Broadway" with different lyrics. ~ Richie Unterberger

| | Don Covay Mercy!/See-Saw CD (2000)
Boogaloo Down Broadway songs
$14.49
Though often overshadowed by higher-profile Southern R&B artists like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, Don Covay ranks among the greatest soul singers of the 1960s. In addition to his fantastic voice--light enough to sail through pop melodies, yet gruff enough to shake with gospel fervor--Covay is a superb songwriter. MERCY! and SEE-SAW, two albums from the mid-'60s, feature many of Covay's best songs, and find him at the peak of his form as a vocalist. This Koch two-for-one disc provides the invaluable service of putting these classic soul albums under a single cover.
The music here is irresistible, with its mix of raw, energetic expression and bright, jazzy melodies and arrangements (the way Covay's band sounds ...

Underground rappers Black Moon needed to make a splash with their six-years-after comeback record, 1999's War Zone, so they made sure the featured roster included some big names: Busta Rhymes, front-loaded on the opener "The Onslaught," and Q-Tip appearing later on "Show Down." Total Eclipse, the trio's third ...
| | Paris Devil Made Me Remix CD (1990)
Boogaloo Down Broadway album
$10.45
One listen to The Devil Made Me Do It makes one wonder if Paris recorded the album in a cloistered, cold bunker -- or at least the kind of abandoned warehouse he and his crew marched through during his videos. As with early Public Enemy (a primary inspiration) and the two X-Clan records, the best moments of Paris' debut work on two levels. Plenty of these tracks have dark, sleek grooves beneath them, built on expert beat programming and vicious claws instead of hooks. In addition to this, there's Paris' scholarly, ...
| | Club Anthems Vol. 1 CD (2004)
Boogaloo Down Broadway CD music
$14.49
Club Anthems, Vol. 1 doesn't leave much to your imagination. The high-energy dance music featured here is about as imaginative as the title of the album itself -- in other words, rather faceless. As commonplace as the sound of these "club anthems" may be, however, they're nonetheless what they're billed as. Give credit to the Ultra Records assembly line for that, at least. Each of these inclusions dates from either 2003 or 2004, and each is indeed clubby and anthemic. Some -- like Junior Jack's "Da Hype," for instance -- are even full-fledged anthems in the sense that they'll be very familiar to a great many club-goers and dance music aficionados. When you line up 17 tracks like this back to back, you get a mighty exuberant listening experience, one that'll make you ...

| | Candlesnuffer Apsomeophone CD (2005) (Import) Australia
Boogaloo Down Broadway songs
$23.65
Apsomeophone is not the follow-up you would expect to David Brown's 2001 Candlesnuffer release. By all means a more disorienting album, it leaves more room to silence, opens up to a wider instrumentation, and challenges the listener on more levels than his solo debut. The booklet and tray card contain little information as to what is on the disc and how it was done. Brown is credited as the sole performer, but no instruments are specified. Besides the guitars, which still account for the majority of the sounds heard, there are trombones, percussion, turntables, samples, and electronics -- at least. With these sources, Brown builds complex, very dynamic electro-acoustic works. If Candlesnuffer proceeded from the noise scene, Apsomeophone is clearly rooted in musique concrète (as a form) and rock (for the electric guitar). "Were Holes Mended?" is the album's main course: ten minutes of fragmented sound events interspersed with silence. The piece is demanding on the listener, confusing and provocative. The seven shorter tracks that follow are denser, but still make use of a wide range of dynamics. They are also more immediately likable and, despite the complexity of their multiple layers, they project an image of careful organization. ...
