Features Disc of the day
James Brown
In The Jungle Groove
(Polydor, 1986)
Giving the drummer some, JB on blazing form, '69-'71.
From 1987 on, speakers quaked to the sounds of Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, Coldcut and others using the 'Funky Drummer' break - Clyde Stubblefield's super-hypnotic percussive shuffle sampled from the 1969 James Brown tune of the same name. The previous year this funk-centric rarities selection had given non-crate diggers the chance to hear it in its original nine-minute glory. Selecting from the Godfather's output from 1969 to 1971, it's full of extreme tastiness; highlights include a piledriving, polished-up full version of Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothing and the opening 'what's wrong with being sexy' stomper It's A New Day; the songs were recorded with different groups, the latter with Mr Brown's soon-to-depart '60s band and the former with new blood the J.B's, but both exert the same churchy, polyrhythmic power to which resistance is useless (ex-band members have spoken of James Brown musically directing the band with bodily movements and vocal exultations, and in a strange way these songs exert a similarly physical effect on the listener). And don't forget veteran DJ Danny Krivits' bonus beats edit of Funky Drummer itself, which extends Clyde Stubblefield's original eight-bar breakdown into three minutes with transcendent drum nirvana the result.
