I've recently acquired a marvelous CD : "The sound of Science" compiled by Kirk Degiorgio and Ian O'Brien. It is a great selection of relatively obscure jazz / early funk / early disco tracks, plus a couple by the two producers - and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who doesn't know much about jazz and is interested to see how music evolved from jazz to techno... A couple of questions though : - it has been released on a label named Obsessive (cat # EVSCD004) - what else is there on this label ? are they worth hunting ? - Mr Degiorgio appears twice, once under his Elegy guise, with a track named "Kaleidoscope", and once under his Super-a-loof guise, with a track named "Patience" - could anyone telle me whether these are unreleased elsewhere, or where they come from ? Thanks in advance !
I also take this as an opportunity to recommend Mr Degiorgio's website, http://www.kirkdegiorgio.com (someone else on this list pointed me there in the first place) - he has put up some great pages about his favorite records etc - I wish more producers, DJs and musicians would do the same... Gwendal
