Chris Joss is a one-man band who focuses on sampling and remixing 70's era Jazz and Funk. Released by the Eighteenth Street Lounge label, who also produce Thievery Corporation's music, this album is a ridiculously entertaining fusion of Jazz, Electronic and Funk, which never fails or falters throughout its 50 minute runtime. The whole thing feels like a sountrack to a vintage Blaxploitation movie, if said soundtrack was composed with modern production values by an expert producer.
Tracks of note:
Drink Me Hot - babymaking music, pure and simple.
Wrong Alley Street - Reminds me of a car chase.
You've Been Spiked - Funk as a genre was never famous for featuring much Sitar-playing. This track makes you wonder why.
Riviera 69 - Easily the most relaxed cut on this album, features smooth bass riffs brilliantly punctuated by staccato organ strikes. My favorite.
