Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
Swiftly becoming Hollywood's cinematic composer of choice, the Belfast-born wonder-DJ David Holmes dusts off his record box for this first release on his own 13 Amp label, Come Get It I Got It. Featuring a sublime selection of obscure R&B, soul and funk alongside Holmes' self-penned material (under the guise of Free Association), it's an intriguing and eclectic romp with some of the 1960s and 1970s greatest unsung heroes. More vital than his Essential Mix 98/01, Come Get It... kicks off with the gorgeous acid-tinged folk of Rodriguez's "Sugarman", before unleashing the raw soulful delights of Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford's "Nobody" and Betty Adams' fervent "Make It Real". Infectious experimental funk comes courtesy of the Johnny Otis Show's "Country Girl" and Cyril Neville's "Gossip" while Muddy Waters' masterfully delivers growling psychedelic blues on "Tom Cat". But the highlight has to be the absolutely hilarious, eccentric and bizarrely sexy cover of "Purple Haze" by Johnny Jones and The King Casuals, a favourite in Holmes' DJ set since he was 15, its camp genius is irresistible. Tied together with the sample-heavy retro-chic of Free Association, this is the soundtrack to one highly sexed, drug-fuelled, occasionally disturbed but genuinely joyous lifestyle. --Christopher Barrett

The CD is a collection of obscure sixties and seventies soul, funk and blues all linked by some original tracks and snippets by The Free Association (Holmes and programmer Steve Hilton). These original tracks have the dark electronica feel from earlier albums. The fusion with the older music provides an almost seamless groove.
If you've ever heard a David Holmes DJ set and said "I wonder where I could get that record ?" then this is the album for you. Forget the trawling of second hand record shops as here they all are roughly packaged in Holmes inimitable twisted style. Opening with the melancholy and soulful Sugarman by Rodriguez, passing through a bluesy Muddy Water's rarity in Tom Cat and onto soul and funk from the likes of The Johnny Otis show, Cyril Neville, Ray Bryant and the Staple Sisters this a delightful journey from start to finish.
There is definitely a more mellow feel to this album than to the also excellent Bow Down to the Exit Sign. Distorted guitars are conspicuous by their absence and the basslines are funky rather than heavy.
A mix album you can listen to in the house without getting a headache.

This was playing in my local record shop when I walked in, and I immediately bought a copy. It's similar to what he's been playing live of late, and if, like some people at those recent gigs, you're expecting the David Holmes off "Let's Get Killed", you'll be disappointed. But, if like me, you thoroughly enjoyed his "Essential Mix CD", then you're in for a treat. Some great old tunes, and some great new versions of old tunes, and the mixture really works. As I say, if the notion of a DJ mixing up soul tunes and a funked-up version of Purple Haze doesn't appeal, then avoid. Sounds great to me though.

I bought this album after watching "Out Of Sight" and then buying the soundtrack (another David Holmes affair) . I decided that Mr. Holmes (nothing to do with Kelly) was my man. He saw it the way I did and he gave me an opportunity to love the past and welcome the future. "Come Get It, I Got It" is an excellent opportunity to hear the best secret tunes that only the cool kids know about whilst at the same time being thoroughly modern and openly precious. I remember strutting around town with this album in my headphones and thinking I was exclusively listening to the coolest party in town. Great introduction to many super artists and an excellent intro to David Holmes work. Seek out the Essential Mix 98/01 and the London Xpress freebie.

Groovy, retro-style album
This is the 'classic' album from David Holmes. It rocks, funks and grooves and is sublime listening. It's definitely recommended.

Jujus - go get it, I got it
Holmes' album liner notes imply that the artist on track 14 might be called Jujus - but actually that is the name of the album from which it is sampled. Read more

messy
not really worth a second listen, the tracks are badly mixed and painfully edited to a point where it becomes a total mess.

A great collection of tracks that were too cool to have 'made it' - now compiled into a powerful critique of main stream music. Read more

Again, another good but not great release...

Fantastic, velvet-lined trip through funk
David Holmes has done it again. After the promise of "This film's crap...", the raw funk of "Let's Get Killed" and the miscue that was "Bow Down... Read more
