Greetings 313 Peepz,

I was wondering whether any of you can tell me what are the ESSENTIAL tracks 
released by Blaze.  I'm really into the 'A Moment in Time Part 1' record that 
they released recently.  Beautiful, deep-house music which can be appreciated 
at home or in a club.  I'm more into this type of Blaze material rather than 
the noodly, garage stuff they also release.  If anyone could give me any tips I 
would really appreciate it.

Sorry, know this one's not strictly 313 but i've heard people like Juan Atkins 
playing Blaze stuff (which is what got me into it in the first place).

Chris.

'Gloria Muse' is easilly my favorite Blaze track. Otto and I each pooed
ourselves both of the two times Ron Trent played it @ DEMF '02, soon before
it was released. Also, if you have the opportunity to catch one of their
rare live performances, don't sleep. Was lucky enough to see that in NYC
this May. Really excellent, if not the most stunning 'liveness'.

RE: [313] blaze

2002-06-14 Thread James Hurlbut
Apparently it's already found its way onto the net. The bits I've heard are 
really good. There's some tracks with more of a traditional jazz structure 
than I've heard from Blaze before, or maybe just more live musicians. Some 
of it is a little too cookie-cutter Blaze deepness with lamentations of the 
current state of the dance scene that get tiring after awhile IMO, like the 
track thats getting played here, "Do You Remember House". Don't get me 
wrong its fantastic, I was just hoping for more. Here's something from Slip 
'n' Slide about the bootlegging:


"Bastard Bootleggers...MAY THEIR DAUGHTERS GROW FACIAL HAIR.!
Hiya Peeps and Peepettes, Sad news has come forward indeed... Blaze's new 
Album "Spirituall Speaking" is being raped as we speak... I am upset to say 
the least, but being that a I am a cynic with an optimistic outlook, I see 
the glass as half full...so Bootleggers, a curse upon your folicles..
Please note all you lovely guardian of right, that SLIP N SLIDE will not be 
moved...We will still release Blaze come Sept 9..2002...come what may...
So all you vanguards of right and justice, please tell the whole 
world..that we will not be force by Bootleggers to react and release such a 
gem as "Spiritually Speaking" until it has matured..(Please note ref...to 
Grolsch" Its not ready yet..."). Thanks for all your support... The ph factor.

Peter Harrismanaging Director."

I'm pretty much impressed by anything they've done.

"Spiritually Speaking" on Slip & Slide, their latest album is very nice,
kind of "Earth, Wind & Fire" sounding at times. Don't have any of their
other albums, but I am searching for them.

Although I must admit whenever I see something by Blaze, I pretty much pick
it up.

I totally agree: it's about EPs not albums, but as far as albums are
concerned 'Natural Blaze' on 'Life Line' (2001) is (IMO) their best.

But back to their EPs, my favorites:
- 'Trans-Jazz EP' on  'Simplex Records' (1996): Features 'Lovelee Dae'
and a great cover of 'Time Marches On'.
- 'Directions Part 1' on 'Spiritual Life (1998).
- 'The Blaze Tracks EP' on Nuphonic (1995) which features my favorite
Blaze track ever: 'Moonwalk'.
- 'Klubhead EP' on 'Smack Music' (199?).

Cheers,
Michel

Yeah, I'll add to that, "Home is Where the Heart Is", "Feel the Music",
"Lovely One's". Also their remix of "I Thank You" by Stephanie Cooke,
basically any of their remixes are always deep, groovy afairs.

most essential is their first album, 25 years later on motown, one of the
best house albums of all time, only journey with the lonely from lil' louis
and the world can be compared to this one.

Speaking of tracks and mixes and ep-s there is too much essential stuff from
them to list, from their first releases on quark to most recent releases on
shelter, life line and slip'n'slide.

not an album, but a e.p. black rascals 'keeping my mind' on sumo. one of the

i've always thought it weird that blaze has become popular in the last few

RE: (313) blaze

2003-01-13 Thread Odeluga, Ken
Second those who said '25 Years Later' on Motown. Indeed it was their first
LP, but you look for a discography and it's hard because they've simply done
so much, including remixes (maybe excluding) we could be over a hundred.

'Basic Blaze' is ace. 'My Beat' *is* deep (to me). Can't say 'I Remember
House' is their finest moment but the LP 'Spiritually Speaking' is overall v
good (imo).

If you can find them, two older (c.89) slices of quality are Phase II -
'Reachin'' & Phase II 'It's A Mystery'.

There's also an LP in '89 (yes, an LP but wait) called 'Paradise Regained'.
In fact, it purports to be a compilation (it is, kind of) featuring
different artists but it's really Blaze under about ten different
psuedonym's feat. various vocalists. (Except the last track, which is 'Gonna
Miss Me' by Turntable Orchestra.) It's got another vers. of 'Mystery'.
Republic Records, exec producer Dave Lee.

If you want to learn how Blaze has progressed throughout these last decades,
try to get a hold of Pure Blaze 1 and 2 on Easy Street Records. 2 slices / 8
tracks each. PB 1 is early house stuff, PB 2 is more recent and includes
Delacy's "Hideaway" among other fine songs. Recommended!

Also, Giant Step recordings uses Blaze a lot for remixes. Check it out!

Well brother, you got me flabbergasted now!

Another Blaze album that I don't know of? That's the surprise of the day!

W


There's also an LP in '89 (yes, an LP but wait) called 'Paradise Regained'.
In fact, it purports to be a compilation (it is, kind of) featuring
different artists but it's really Blaze under about ten different
psuedonym's feat. various vocalists. (Except the last track, which is 'Gonna
Miss Me' by Turntable Orchestra.) It's got another vers. of 'Mystery'.
Republic Records, exec producer Dave Lee.

"Keeping My Mind" is record number one on my wants list. I agree, it's
strange Blaze have become popular now that they're not quite as on it as
they were. Still, they come out with some quality cuts, and I think "Natural
Blaze" was their best album. I don't have much to add to the
recommendations, of early stuff my favourite's "Sometimes Love" by Jerry
Edwards on Easy St. I don't know why this wasn't on either of those "Pure
Blaze" compilations?! "If You Should Need A Friend" and "Reaching" stand out
from then, too. They really got going in the period up to '94, I'd say, with
the stuff on Sumo, Polar etc. Mid Nineties stuff like Debbie Pender, with
those organ basslines, helped define that UK garage sound (for better or for
worse), and "Moonwalk" is perhaps my favourite Blaze record ever. It'll be
tracks like these they'll be remembered for, I imagine, rather than the
likes of "Star Suite". I think innovative house probably largely lies
elsewhere these days. That's not to say I don't make a point of checking
everything with their name on it though :)

not an album, but a e.p. black rascals 'keeping my mind' on sumo. one of the

i've always thought it weird that blaze has become popular in the last few
years when their production in the last five years or so seems but a mere
shadow of their early work. but i guess that's just my personal taste.

Subject: (313) Blaze in London

I think it was Ken who was talking abut Blaze not
playing out - well dont know how I ended up on this
mailing list but it looks as though they are playing
Turnmills on the Saturday of the bank holiday
weekend..

On Saturday 27th August Blaze make a rare UK
performance as they make their debut at Turnmills.
Blaze's contribution to House music is epic boasting
one of the most impressive bodies of production
spanning from Lisa Stansfields' pop dance hit "People
Hold On" to their own classic "Can't Win for Losing"
they have been at the forefront of the house music.
Blaze aka Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge and Chris Herbert
started writing music together in 1984. Childhood
friends who met at their local church choir, Chris was
a vocalist who wanted to record, Josh was a natural
musician who played with the church choir and Kevin
was a DJ who spun locally at parties around their
native Newark, N.J. The three decided to form a
production team after Chris introduced Josh and Kevin
and encouraged them to became a recording group. Blaze
has influences that run from Stevie Wonder to James
Taylor to John Coltrane and beyond. But it is the
deeply soulful melodies, their blend of Afro, Jazz,
Soul and Gospel added with, the positive world view in
their lyrics, influenced heavily by their childhood
heroes Earth, Wind & Fire. While their older friends
danced the night away in NY clubs like Zanzibar and
the Paradise Garage, Blaze began to lay down the
prototype of their sound assimilating the music of the
day and adding a more electronic and fundamentally R&B
based spine. With "DJ" Kevin at the controls, Josh
"the piano man" on the synthesizer and the "lead
vocal" stylings of Chris, they turned out song after
song for other artist and producers to record. Some
included "This Time" by Colonel Abrams knock off
Hunter Hayes, "One Man" by Chanelle and "Reachin' " by
Phase II. The three ultimately signed their first
record deal with the newly formed Quark records in
'85, producing three major club hits of the time;
"Whatcha Gonna Do", "If You Should Need A Friend" and
"Can't Win For Losing". After 19 years on the scene
Milan and Hedge are still producing relevant hits
today as they did back in '85. In their own words they
see themselves as " tools being used by the universe
helping to bring lyrical messages and melodies to the
world, music is communication. Ideas come to us from
the spirit of creation.". Over the past year they have
come out of their self imposed exile to in NY for some
exclusive dates and Turnmills represents the last time
to catch Blaze this year! Joining Blaze is another of
New York's musical luminaries Kenny Dope Gonzalez.
Together with recording partner Louie Vega there has
been no greater presence in house music for over a
decade. As producers, their style and stunning
polished production saw them remixing dance acts and

Well, let's hope that they aren't billing it as a "Live" show, as that 
would be annoyingly wrong!



99% record, 1% live... ouch!


I would love to see this show, but I feel it would be mislabled if it

I haven't checked the site but it sounds like it is the second side of the
Live in Detroit tape which *does* start with the end of the track off
Blaze's Artful Noyz EP. The next track is Overyohead. If you've got the
wrong info off of me, sorry, but the Blaze track starts on side A, so I put
it in there on my list. As per usual, email me offlist for a full
tracklisting. As for other mixes on the deephouse pages, all the Ron Hardy
ones (of course! especially the one where he plays "Catch Me On The
Rebound") and the Brian Borden ones (deep, classic disco; check out the one
where he plays Roy Ayers' "Chicago") are the ones I keep going back to.

>Faze Action (live)

Two brothers from the UK, Simon and Robin Lee, who have cut a couple of
albums, the latest of which is Moving Cities. Their first album, Plans &
Designs, of a few years back had a retro-disco feel, but on their new LP
they have diversified into a more eclectic groove based dance-cum-listening
music with African vibes, jazz, house, etc, beats. Sounds like another UK
neo-Balearic outfit a la  Groove Armada to me. I have heard rave reports
about their shows. The new LP is nice and listenable but unspectacular to my
ears.


>CJ Bolland (live)

Well, he's a legend in Europe isn't he. I heard great reports about him at
Welcome 2000 here in Melbourne on NYE. Nice guy.


>Ashley Beedle

A legend. One of the original great DJs of the UK house scene - will bring
out the cognoscenti. Plays across the board: jazz, soul and house music. Is
the man behind the Afro Art label, Black Science Orchestra, Ballistic
Brothers, etc.

Ken, 

I saw Blaze semi-live with a Body & Soul crowd in full effect, two years ago in 
Brooklyn. They were playing at Danny Krivit's then-residency at 66 Water 
Street. It was pretty damn good. Can't recall the details of how they put it 
all together unfortunately but I remember the result was tasty.

Greetings Cats!

Although it will be difficult, it's not impossible to find Blaze's "25 Years
Later" album on vinyl. However, if you check with www.NetSounds.com or
www.GEMM.com, you will find a couple of stores who have limited copies of
the
CD in stock. I would always suggest you begin your search for classics at
www.21centurymusic.com (New Jersey, USA). They have one of the best
selections of EXTREMELY RARE pieces!

The track listing for "25 Years Later" is as follows:

We Must All Live Together
I Wonder
Gonna Make It Work
All That I Should Know
Lover Man
Missing You
Get Up
So Special
Miss My Love
You Don't Really Love Me
Anything For Your Lovin'

Released on Motown Records in 1990
Catalog number (vinyl) MOT-6301
Much respect to Timmy Regisford who was one of the project's executive
producers.

I hope this helps!

peace & respect,

TP
