Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Ill Street Blues
Live and Let Die (1992)
Neil: One of the illest songs in all of hip-hop by the illest MC in the game.
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity
Choirs of the Eye (2003)
Tony: Perfection. Nothing comes close.
Kid Koala - Basin Street Blues
Some of My Best Friends are DJs (2003)
Chris: Kid Koala applies his turntable virtuosity to some Dixieland samples. Magic ensues.
Herbie Hancock - Rain Dance
Sextant (1973)
Elliot: This is from Herbie's last album with the Mwandishi band, a fusion project from the early 70s where his experimentation with synthesized sounds began. This also happens to be the last record he made before the wildly successful Headhunters (1973), but I like his work with Mwandishi a bit more. Herbie on keys/synth, Bennie Maupin on reeds, Eddie Henderson on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Buster Williams on bass, Billy Hart on drums, and Dr. Patrick Gleeson on synth.
