5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing psychedelic 1970's proto-House and Hip Hop music, 28 Sep 2007
It's New York City, 1979 - the height of the disco boom and somewhere around the closing chapters of the Philly/Salsoul orchestral soul era. Imagine that somehow, someone had taken a giant leap from the contemporary dance music of the time towards electronic House music in a single step - leaving everybody else most of the next decade to catch up! "24 - 24 Music" by Dinosaur L is that giant step !

This is one of those records that I have briefly heard snatches of in the past but never been able to get my hands on. The LP was recorded in NYC in 1979 (although not released until 1982) by a handful of session musicians, led by cellist, visionary composer, underground disco artist and all round musical legend Arthur Russell.

Released on a tiny independent label, Sleeping Bag Records (later home to Mantronik's "Needle To The Groove", Dhar Braxton's "Jump Back", Joyce Sims' "All and All" and Todd Terry's "To The Batmobile - Let's Go!" amongst others), only a 1000 vinyl LPs were originally pressed up - so an original is mega-rare. More famously, some of the tracks have since been put out as 12" mixes. Others have found their way on to various compilation albums.

However, what we have here - for the very first time I believe - is the full original album plus the best of the 12" mixes from Francois Kevorkian and Larry Levan . And what a mind-blowing recording!

Mixing orchestral funk, jazz, psychedelic rock, soul and disco, the LP is an experimental hybrid that must count in part as the blueprint for House music and some early Hip Hop. In particular, "Go Bang!" has a driving fluid funk/disco beat interspersed with stabs of rich jazzy sax, snippets of vocal and Rhodes/Hammond licks. However, unlike House music, there are no samples, just live music. At other times, The LP recalls James Brown, Miles Davis (the free-form funk of "On The Corner", the chiming chords from "In A Silent Way") and Herbie Hancock's Headhunters.

Arthur Russell must have been a crazy, crazy genius to have imagined and fashioned this sound out of the raw materials at his disposal. By all accounts, the mix was endlessly tinkered with and never regarded by its creator as being complete. Francois Kervorkian's stripped down mix of "Go Bang!" (dating from 1982 and included in this package) goes even further and is probably the moment when underground disco became house music.

I fully recommend this album to fans of Disco, '70s Soul and Funk, House or Hip Hop. This is a seminal piece of work that must be heard. It is a truly strange, unique and amazing journey, years ahead of it's time and still sounding fat, fresh and funky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking, 14 Jul 2009
By C. F. Boyle (Ireland) - See all my reviews

An incredible snippet of deranged disco/funk - if your keen enough to seek out reviews for this gem of a record you need no other further incentive to buy it. And bask in how hip and funky these grooves will make you feel.

R.I.P. Arthur

Much love x
