Also just out: "Rickard Masip Presents Scandinavian Funk Experience" - yet another super volume in Nascente's "Funk Experience" series of budget v/a compilations. This time around, I only knew Doris beforehand … Do check the series' pinnacle so far as well, viz. "Kid Loco Presents French Funk Experience"!

Claes-Göran Fagerstedt: "Stone free" (1975 / originally by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1966)

Bob Azzam: "Tricky soul" (1968)

Staffan Abeleen Quintet: "Mr Minor" (1974)

Tommy Seebach: "Bubble sex" (1979)

Just out: "Yuriy Gurzhy (Russendisko) & Phil Meadley Present Eastern Bloc Funk Experience (Psych-Funk, Satellite Soul And Cold War Disco)" - another excellent volume in Nascente's "Funk Experience" series of budget v/a compilations. And loàds more interesting than Secret Stash's two so-so "Soviet Funk" comps. (And the retro car meme started here.)

= Misa Blam: "Gorila" (1975)

= Czerwone Gitary: "Coda" (1974)

= Uschi Bruning: "Hochzeitsnacht" (1974)

= Andrzej Dabrowski & Zesp: "Powrót" (1970)

A Goblink Floyd ripoff or other Oldfieldesque exorcism + a few other gems off the "(Big Bang Present) Italian Funk Experience (Synth Funk, Italo-Exploitation & Espresso-Jazz From Italy 1969-1980)" v/a cd. Mostly filled with Italian library, it's not as exquisite as the French volume, sadly. Also just out in Nascente's half-a-midprice "Funk Experience" series: "(DJ Andy Smith & Keith Lawrence Present) Jamaican Funk Experience (Rude-Boy Riddims, Skanking Horns & Boss Reggae)" - similarly great but not grandiose.

Big Jullien = Ivan Jullien, who recorded this lp with Michel Colombier in 1970. This track - "Wake the monster" - is also featured on the "French Funk Experience" v/a cd.
