首先Keb Darge先提一下他這次合作的伙伴RZA
This time my compatriot is that nice man RZA, and if you are unware of
him - whata planet have you been on? We not only share a love of

good music but more importantly, a love of people kicking the shit
out of each other in martial arts movies. However here is not the place
to tell the unlimited how wonderful Mifune is.

再來他提了一下 Funk在英國

In the UK at least, old Funk and Soul seems to be everywhere except the
record shops and radio shows. You can hear it constantly on the TV,
accompanying all kinds of programmes and commericals. Nowadays it
has become the chosen background music for hundreds of trendy bars.

他抱怨了一下

They prefer to spend their time and attention on totally talentless
twats, turning them into characterless, talentless twats to then

spend mountains of money marketung the crap they have produced.

然後他對音樂的期望是

Then we have the brigade that insist music must push boundaries and
forge new styles. Shite! Music should be good and be able to satisfy
and enrich the human spirit. Enough good music had already been made
to last anyone born tomorrow until their grave without boredom
setting in. I am all for people inventing new music forms, but if
it is not as good as what has gone before, why accept a lower
standard of pleasure or, as in some cases, pure irritation, for the
sake of originality?

再來就是音樂的部份 40首歌 40個藝人 快要全部不認識了啦

CD1 RZA
1. Hank Ballard – From the Love Side
這傢伙和James Brown有些關係 歌曲一開始的小朋友聲音就很James Brown
2. Ken Boothe – It’s Because I’m Black
這首歌原本應該是Syl Johnsons的 Ken 用了牙買加味道來詮釋它
我最愛的一首歌 有買Wu Tang Clan的The W這張專輯的人 請拿出來
和第3首Hollow Bones對照一下 XD
3. Sly & The Family Stone – Small Talk
Sylvester Stewarts Rock tinged Funk and Soul productions have had an
effect on countless musicians since "everyday people", "Dance to the
music", "sing a simple song", "family affair"and manu more. They will

still be listened to 100 years from now when most of today’s muck has
disappointed. Here We have one of his lesser known, yet nonetheless
important recordings.

4. Bobby Humphries - Jasper Country Man

lady with big hair and a big flute....哇長笛呢

5. Harlem Underground Band feat. Willis Jackson - Ain急 No Sunshine

這首歌是Bill Withers寫的 很耳熟的歌 有點台語老歌的味道呢

6. Booker T & The MG’s - Melting Pot

前奏一下就很跳了 琴鍵聲也很俏皮 有點福音歌曲的味道呢

7. Lyn Collins - Do Your Thing

這首歌有點New Birth的味道 另外也是Isaac Hayes寫的

8. Honey Cone - If I Can’t Fly

這邊他提到了Northen Soul 這首歌讓我聯想到了Supreme

9. Ohio Players - Climax

The Ohio Players were a household name when i was a teenager. Which was

handy because it meant i could self pleaseure myself with the aid of

their album covers. If you don’t know thier sound "Pack it Up" is a

great introductions; the trademark horns and drums are all in there.
10. Anne Peebles - You’ve Got The Papers (I’ve Got the man)
Anne Peebles, best remembered for "Can’t stand the rain", is one of the
greatest southern soulstress known to those who know. If you want to
know what a soulful voice is, forget your Beyonce and listen to this.
