Madlib follows 'High Jazz' with the eighth installment of the 'Medicine Show' series, a unique mix of the
multiple facets of jazz music entitled 'Advanced Jazz'.

Even by his own exacting standards, Madlib has been busy this year. While his recorded output always
spans an impressive range of styles, he habitually returns to recurrent themes, like familar harbours in a
vast musical ocean ... and jazz is one such anchor point. 'High Jazz' shows a marked and significant development
in Madlib's craft, encapsulating every element of jazz within an 80-minute opus.

And so what better way to follow such an epic undertaking than with a companion-piece drawn from the
thousands - literally - of jazz albums that inspired Madlib's first forays into the genre~ 'Advanced Jazz',
is, as the title hints, a step (or three, or four) deeper than the Steve Kuhn and Weldon Irvine albums that
he first enjoyed as he began developing the Yesterdays New Quintet project on 2001's 'Angles Without
Edges'.

Some of the music here - at least, to the uninitiated ear - might not seem to be "jazz" at all. But be in
no doubt, this is a jazz mix through and through, as exhilarating a ride as 'Brain Wreck Show' (MMS006)
or 'Flight To Brazil' (MMS002). It is a celebration of this great American music, and while it focuses on
the past 40 years, it clearly heralds every innovation, domestic and international, of this century-old
form.

The Haggis Horns are one of the funkiest live bands you will ever see; a brassheavy funk powerhouse that has been rocking clubs up and down the country for years, combining breakbeat funk, soul, hip-hop and afrobeat with the virtuosity of trained jazz musicians. They are featured on the now legendary deep funk album "Keb Darge presents the New Mastersounds", and have performed and recorded with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Nightmares on Wax, Roots Manuva, Estelle, Corinne Bailey-Rae, KT Tunstall and The Cinematic Orchestra, to name a few.

Formed around the nucleus of Malcolm Strachan (trumpet) and Atholl Ransome (tenor sax, flute) The Haggis Horns (yes, they're from Scotland) extend to an 8 piece live outfit, with guitarist Ben Barker also taking a production role in their recorded output. Their debut 7" was released in November 2006, followed by the much sought-after 12 "The Traveller" and their debut album "Hot Damn!" to widespread acclaim.

Following the tragic loss of founder member Jason Rae early in 2008, the boys hit the studio to record the follow up to "Hot Damn!" They've teamed up with singer and fellow funk aficionado Nia Saw (aka Lucinda Slim) who has performed around the world with the likes of Zap Mama and DJs alongside Keb Darge at their long established Deep Funk night at Madame Jojo's in London's Soho. The new album sees them back at their funky best, with more brass stabs than a Victorian knife fight, more funky licks than a tramps dog and the sort of snappy backbeat that could cause whiplash unless properly supervised.

From the straight up B-boy funk of "The Jerk" to the Isley Brothers-esque disco funk of "Love Gets You High" and the vocal afrobeat of "Too Blind" this is another belter of a record from Scotland's answer to The JBs that is sure to restate their place as one of the world's premier funk bands.

very limited re-stock of this musical soundtrack on lp !!!

The debut single from Herma Puma - the transatlantic hip hop production duo consisting of Simple X (USA) and Pimpernel Jones (UK). Having met through a shared love of golden era hip hop and dusty library music records, they crafted their debut album Synchromystic over the internet.

Disposable Rappers features vocals from Simple X's fellow Chicago native Sensei Of Soul, dropping J5 style flows over a club-friendly funk break-fuelled beat. On the flip Psyche Out is exactly what it says on the tin - a trippy DJ Format-esque break track - again perfect for the dancefloor.

Robert Aaron's music, with its range of saxophones and keyboards (piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), has a unique style that is hard to find in this age of mathematical solos
