I read an interview with HH sometime ago and he said(in so many words)
that most people werent into Sextant, it was too heady for them and so
he made Headhunters to please the crowd.
It amazes me though that Hancock is so brilliant at both heady and
crowd pleasing music. I imagine if he went out to make crap he would
do a bloody good job of it :P

i've read loads of possitive things about another japan only live
release, think it's called 'flood', there's some nice things on there.
'sextant' is great, you can play games with it too; 'spot the sample'.
'thrust' is in the same veign as 'sextant', and so is 'mwandisi'.
carl craig lifted a sample off 'sunlight' for one of his 69 releases.
oh, and anyone know if 'the prisoner' [blue note] is a must have? saw
a top 5 list of madlib's favorite blue note records, and it's placed
second. i allready picked up his number one 'blacks and blues' by
bobbi humphrey, and i love it!
oh, and i was playing 'fat albert rotunda' last night, another 'spot
the sample'-record; 'tell me a bedtime story' off that album is a
favorite of mine.
