Wizard while i heard quiet a few Wizard tapes now,lets just say that they can be very good or realy boring,all depends on what you are after,usualy they consist of: 75% rap,hihop-electro Mantronix,Whodini,Globe,Utfo,Imperial Bro,Wrekin cr,Hashim,Eric b,Dynamix,RunDmc,Public Nme,Marley marl,Beasties,Spooni g,Unkown dj,Kool moe d,Heavy d Man Parish,Jj Fad,Bambata,TuffCrew,Egyptian lover,B Boys,Aleem,LLCoolJ etc etc 5% funk Paliament,Funkadelic,Prince&shila E,Hancock did i say Clinton:) 5% disco Kano,Kurtis Blow,Rhythm Heritage,War,Sugerhill,, 2% pop Micheal Jackson,Salt&Peper,We Papa girls,Mel&Kim,, 5%techno No Ufo,Future,the Sound,body to the box,(mm i don't think i heard any May at all tho) 13% house Chip E,Chip e,Chip e(he must have realy loved him,usualy there would be 3-4 tracks of his in every k7),Hurley-JYB,Pierre,BnC-house aint,Hercules - 7 ways,Rosario - Amour PuertRico,adonis - no way,Bad Boy -Mix&Tell,Hitrax-cool J Acid and other chicago stuff,as well as some uk(Pump Up The Volume,Krush - House Arrest)&New York (Raze - Jack The Groove) now all this is mixed on a four track(you would hear 3 tracks playing,or 2 and a third being scratched quiet often)yet it's very raw,usualy loses momentum after a while,beat is changing constantly, i don't think he was on the same class with the NY guys when it comes to scratching(if you ever heard DST,or Marley Marl tapes you'd now what i mean), the thing that i realy wanna know is: were was the "industrial" side of him,i have not heard anything industrial on any of his tapes yet some were around the time he made the Final Cut stuff?
