Basement Jaxx
2/5
Is this the unreleased album from the guy in 'Peep Show'?

Fantastic album, James Brown was an incredible musician and this really made me feel like I was seeing this live performance. If anything I found it too short.

Run-D.M.C.
5/5
It's hard to put oneself in the context of hip-hop of 40 years ago, knowing how far Run D.M.C came after this. Having said that, I really appreciate how this is them pretty much stripped to their essence, and I really like the anger and vindictive spirit of this album, and the sort of "pulp" sound is something that really hits the spot for me. In summary, even the songs that aren't as good have me engaged and entertained so it pretty much has all I ask for in a hip-hop album.

Paul Simon
5/5
I love every bit of this album - I find Paul Simon weird enough to be interesting without being pendantic and that is a very fine balance

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
2/5
This is so 90s - conceptually it's all over the place. I'm assuming these are the kind of people that wanted Esperanto to be a thing. It's entertaining enough musically at times so I'll give it 2 stars.
