(From Innovative Life • The Anthology • 1984-1989 compilation; 2008)
Help me out here - is this an unreleased track from 1989 or is it a 2008 track recorded especially for this anthology compilation? Either way, this shit is everything I like about Electro music from L.A and Detroit in the SAME DAMN TRACK! It even featuress that weird stretched chiming sound which popped up in various TV shows and movies from the early 1980s.
If this is a 2008 track then file it alongside Programmed 4 L.O.V.E by Newcleus, Future Computer by Jamie Jupitor, and 5¢ Camel Ride (Long Version) by Egyptian Lover as 'late career choonz by 80s Electro pioneers.'
No idea about Simple Planet's year, but anachronistic electro jams help make the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteI recently picked up this Electro compilation on Soul Jazz which is where I discovered that Professor X jam.
Deleteif the CD credits are any indication it was recorded "circa 1988 in Arabian Prince's garage, Inglewood CA"
ReplyDeleteCheers. That's cool he was moving into more Detroit-influenced evocative territory back in '88.
DeleteRip Saafir
ReplyDeleteNo way.
DeleteTruthfully, I only know his guest spots on the Casual and Digital Underground albums. I should probably check out Boxcar Sessions one day.
Saafir was dope he had some good songs with Xzibit & Ras Kass also they were supposed to make a group album as the Golden State Project in the early 00s but never happened😕
