NOMO - NOMO [2004]

When I first heard this CD, I could not believe this band was from, Michigan. A brilliant line-up of first-rate musicians worthy of packing the dance halls of Nigeria and the rest of the African Continent. Put this CD on and everyone in the house is shakin' it! Every track fabulous! Incredible horn section! Masterful solos that would bring a smile to Fela Kuti, Pharoah Sanders or Archie Shepp. A rockin' rhythm section and outstanding percussion. I couldn't wait for the next CD and when it came out I was not disappointed! When you put on NOMO, turn it up and get on down!

If you like this album also get Nu Tones imo.

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 [2000]


Shit son, what happens when you get one of the best MC's in history (Del tha Funkee Homosapien), the most musical turntablist on the planet (Kid Koala), and throw in the most underrated producer in the music industry (Dan the Automator). You end up with one of the most experimental, and "ahead of it's time" albums in hip-hop.
What you will find is an extremely lyrically gifted artist, laying down metaphors verse after verse. It may take you a while to absorb it all, but hey... it has substance. The music in the background may take a while to absorb as well. If you "feel" music, then this is something that you will like. Tthe concept album is based on a story set on the year 3030.

The album follows Deltron Zero's fight against an oppressive government and powerful corporations, while also battling to be the Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

Del's lyrics veer from serious social commentary to humor to epic sci-fi battles, while producer Dan the Automator creates an eerie and dense atmosphere.

A Haunting We Will Go-Go - The Ghastly Ones [1998]

The Ghastly Ones are a Horor-Surf Rock band from Cali and they're pretty much the shit. They have a late-night monster movie theme.

They infused their love of Halloween records, late night monster movies and Screaming Lord Sutch with inspiration from early sixties surf and hotrod acts like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, and The Del-Aires to create the first 'spooky surf' band.

The band's first show was at Al's Bar on Halloween 1996, infamous in the punk world for several rowdy Misfits shows. During their early shows, the stage was often decorated with tombstones and cobwebs to give their performances the proper atmosphere.
