it's easy to keep going back in time on this, the black avant-garde did not even start with sly stone as you know but a lot of this stuff sounds like dubbed-out remixes of there's a riot goin' on

I was more talking in regards to the start of this current scene (as I'm sure you were) but lets not get lost in these sort of arguments. Please.

Some other releases, not yet specifically cited, for which I will rep:
Pattie Blingh & the Akebulan 5 - Sagala (GA Muldrow plus a little Declaime/Perkins; later Samiyam mix of "To: Re" is also pretty much messed up)
Dabrye's off-center R&B'ish remix of King Midas Sound's "One Ting"
Steve Spacek's pair of solo 12" for Jazzy Sport
Rahsaan Patterson - "Pitch Black," with the Cure bassline and bubbling tarpit FX:

i thought it sounded like chante moore...
im reinvestigating this last van hunt album. more of a new wave influence on it but it just seems so derivative. some nice touches here and there but barring a few tracks on each album where it all comes together, he still seems to have absolutely no certain identity of his own.

I know we're doing our best to steer clear of boundaries here, but I think Foreign Exchange is more of a Darien Brockington/Eric Roberson/Dwele thing.
DJ Spinna's neo-soul efforts probably too.

theres a really niche-but-large slow jamz audience out there that some of these artists can easily get slotted into
