Take a stack of soul platters from the 1960s and 1970s from the likes of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder; mix generously with a propulsive mix of two bass guitars, two drummers, and the vocals of a Detroit rock legend; and you have an underrated gem in the Motor City music scene. Ultraglide in Black puts a rock spin on recognizable nuggets of soul and funk while retaining the original version's integrity and message. Most of the tunes covered here are spirited party tracks, including a sparkling version of Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" that features a strident breakdown. Vocalist Mick Collins, of the Gories fame, paints each track with a flavorful delivery which at times will have the listener literally transported to AM radio's yesteryear. The Dirtbombs have created a record that is akin to stumbling across a box of cool records in your parent's attic, and is suitable for continuous play at any house party. ~ Douglas Siwek
2nd album from 2001 featuring Mick Collins and his merry band of Dirtbombs, the album title taken from the cool late-nite flick Ultraglide In Blue is influenced by Sly & The Family Stone, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Parliament, The Miracles and a host of others to obscure to mention with the addition of squealing feedback-driven guitar, dual drumming and walloping bass. In The Red Records. 2002.

Spin (6/02, p.105) - 8 out of 10 - "...Frontman Mick Collins is the unofficial godfather of Detroit's garage-rock scene....this is an album of roughed-up '60s and '70s soul covers..."
NME (Magazine) (7/28/01, p.41) - 8 out of 10 - "...It's a simple idea. Take soem classic tunes by Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, Curtis Mayfield, etc., play them as loud as hell with an evangelical zeal that recalls the MC5 and Stooges....Life affirming."

Great Fuzz Soul
Packed with intensity, the Dirtbombs explode through your stereo with fuzzed out organs and gritty powerpacked vocals. All covers, but still the Dirtbombs breath new life into the old form.
Kudos.

Ultraglide In Black album
 $11.05  
The Detroit Cobras manage a pretty rare feat with their debut LP by transcending classic R&B material by sticking not to the original sound or slavishly recreating arrangements and stylistic trappings of the genre, but by finding the essence of the rough-and-tumble spirit of the original streetwise tunes the Cobras tackle on Mink Rat. That they've chosen as their material obscure R&B nuggets from such legendary labels as Fortune Records and tunes from the glory days of regional hits and AM radio (with the left-field cover of the Oblivians' ...

Admittedly, the Detroit Cobras are simply a cover band. But with their release Life, Love and Leaving on the Long Beach label Sympathy for the Record Industry (the label responsible for the White Stripes' incredible international success), they've been given a bit of credence and an opportunity to showcase their amazing homegrown chops.

For Seb Fontaine's second Prototype album, he takes the listener on a much more varied trip through several different styles of music before concluding with the fiery progressive trance anthem as expected. It is precisely this sense of variety that keeps this mix CD from being just another generic progressive house into trance mix. Beginning with Cevin Fisher's "Music Saved ...

Ultraglide In Black music CDs
$22.79
A SACRED SPACE Pandit* Ronu Majumdar plays the bansuri or venu. It is the subcontinent's defining side-blown flute, an instrument of apparent simplicity yet of enormous sophistication. It is also one of the few instruments (the violin being the other main example) that figures prominently in both of the subcontinent's classical or art music systems. Ronu Majumdar plays bansuri in the Hindustani or Northern Indian style. As a flautist, he is not only a superlative interpreter: he is also an important strand in a Hindustani narrative patchwork. (* Pandit is a term of respect used to denote someone's achievements and contribution to their art.)If the old stories are true, before deforestation rid Kolkata (Calcutta) and elsewhere of their famed bamboo forests, bansuri players would go to their local bamboo grove and select promising looking culms, as bamboo stems are the correct length for flute making. Then, in a twinkle of an eye, a bansuri was created from a single culm. Throughout Asia, wherever bamboo flourishes, bamboo flutes are found. Japanese shakuhachi (vertical flute) makers, for example, elevated flute manufacture to hidden heights with interior lacquering. In the Indian subcontinent, bansuri was raised to devotional heights because of its iconographic depiction in images of Lord Krishna.Born Ranendra Nath Majumdar in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh on 28 July 1965, the fourth of seven children born to Dr. Bhanu Majumdar and Reba Majumdar, Ronu, as he is generally known, represents the third generation of Bengali flautists of modern times. Pannalal Ghosh (1911-1960) represents the first generation. Ronu Majumdar studied, like Ravi Shankar with Allauddin Khan, the musician that became his guru."Pastoral flute," as the critic Mohan Nadkarni wrote in 1995, had remained "a simple folk medium" until, that is, Pannalal Ghosh gave bansuri a new identity, affording it the status of an instrument worthy of the concert platform. Majumdar's father, now in his 80s, learned flute from Pannalal Ghosh, a fellow Bengali, as his son recalls, "he never played professionally, he just played for his own pleasure."The family lived in Varanasi until Ronu was 11 before he moved to Mumbai (Bombay), the city in which he grew up. As a teenager he began building on and applying the lessons of vocal music learned from Laxman ...
