Holy Crap, I never thought I'd hear this song short of my dragging out the CD and playing it myself. Great 'out of the blue' track, Bill.

- Sweet!

I love this song!!!

Had to bump to an 8 for that funky intro.

Testosterone-y!

Great Play List !!! The reason I listen & Support Radiopardise. Way to go.....it's time for me to continue my RP support. I think I'll buy some of your stuff,,,,,

This tune rocks, and the album is a concept album of epic proportions. I mean, Cherokee Chief -- about that drug lord in Nicaragua, I believe, who was finally taken out (not long after the record came out) by a blast directed downward from the vulnerable roof of the thing. And Bobby Don't Do It -- I've known a few folks who have flipped the big switch, and it hits home hard. We're Always Talking, wow... Been through a divorce? It all takes years to sink in. As does the import behind the photo. Indeed! I once dated an emerald broker from Columbia who said, "You don't want to know how many people die to get just one of these things into the hands of someone who has no idea nor care in the world." If one didn't conceive of a bigger picture, one might imagine this a world ruled by Casual Gods!

Very interesting. That operation was also depicted in the opening sequence of Powaqqatsi , but I never knew the story behind it.

Thanks a bunch! it is really useful.

I loved The Red and the Black, and really appreciated this tape at the time. The Red and the Black sounds pretty dated now, but I still enjoy it. And I replaced my Casual Gods tape with the CD when I found it used. Still a good CD overall. Rev it up, Man with a gun, Let it come down come to mind as good tracks.

Another disk I am holding on to because of at least one song I like to hear from time to time. I didn't know I'd be having a time right now!

Nice segue from Shaft.

...fine song, but the sound quality is pretty dismal -- it is all "swimmy" and coarse sounding...can anybody oblige us with a good 320kbps rip, please?

cool stuff from Ex-talking head. Still IMHO his first solo release "The Red and the Black" is his best...damn hard to find on CD though

Well, i guess now it is making a funkadelic Thanksgiving afternoon. Yay!

REV IT UP !!! I love this song. Brings me back do my college days. I'll have to dig through my tapes and break this one out again.

Here ya go.

Never heard this before. I was thinking, after hearing Shaft that we were continuing on with the funkadelic afternoon. Being a huge TH fan, I'm impressed with this. They were, after all one of the great funk bands!
