Naughty Monkey
Just a classic piece of music. Enormous sub bass on a big rig. Warm, fuzzy analog goodness, and such a dope chorus melody.
"What The Time" at the intro was sampled in a massive 1990s jungle rinser. Excellent track from a flawless album. Big love!
The Sprawl
Wicked tune - heard it as part of Jason Spaceman's Radio 1 Breezeblock mix from '98.
Anyone who wants to have their mind expanded and new avenues opened should listen to that set, and if you can track down his second set on the same show(from 1999 possibly?), which is even better, you should do it immediately. Reggae, soul, blues, C&W, pure rock & roll, even free jazz(you can skip those bits though...) - those two sets just exploded my musical horizons and introduced me to Dion, Jimmy Scott, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Sam Cooke, Dr Alimantado...
And Jimmy Scott's recording of Day By Day is just sublime.
