MISSUS BEASTLY - SPACE GUERILLA


 
Download here

Track 1 - Space Guerilla
Track 2 - Guitar For Sale
Track 3 - Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Track 4 - Fuzzy, Don't Go To The Disco
Track 5 - Hoffmannstropfen
Track 6 - Cose Dola
Track 7 - For Flu
Track 8 - King Garlic

Maybe this LP should have been called "Space Gorilla" because it is an absolute monster! The title track has been sampled by at least one hip hop act that I know of and it appears in a shortened form on the "Dusty Fingers Vol.10" ( under the name "K.G Intro" ) and "Rare Funk Vol.1" compilations but here it is presented in all it's 10 min 48 sec glory. Whether you enjoy tight breakbeats ( "Hoffmannstropfen" ), chunky guitar riffs ( "Guitar For Sale" ), esoteric jazz ( "For Flu" ) or disco funk ( "Fuzzy, Don't Go To The Disco" ) you will find it all and much more on these 8 tracks. It is a wonderful melting pot of European prog rock and Blue Note-esque jazz that demands the listener's attention from start to finish.

Wow. Thank you! My fav blog comes through again. Can you recommend more albums on here similar to this sound?

Mr. Craig said...

Let me think about that and I'll get back to you.

Mr. Craig said...

Yeah, probably not much at Funky Frolic that compares to Missus Beastly. You might want to check out this page -

Some of the albums look really interesting so I might see if I can find a couple to post in the future.
