Peoples Cohort Psychedelica Track Listing:

    1.    (0:00:30) Public Enemy PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 - In the 1930s, the US used the term Public Enemy for individuals committing criminal activities or for those extremely damaging society.  I'm not so sure the group itself did such acts, but rather served the opposite for hip hop culture and pop music in general.  Professor Griff, Chuck D, Flava Flav, and the guru behind the turntables, Terminator X, commanded the New York political hip hop scene along with groups like BDP and Poor Righteous Teachers during the late 80s through 90s.  This track, from their debut Yo! Bum Rush The Show, epitomized the band's political moniker and controversial lyrical motifs - that is, if you think speaking truth is controversial at all!  
    2.    (0:04:33) Fila Brazillia MOTOWN COPPERS - Formed in 1990 by Steve Cobby and David McSherry, this UK group of electronica/funk was definitely a force not to be reckoned with throughout the 90s up 'til 2004.  They split in 2006, and McSherry has pursued lecturing in audio production at the University of Lincoln.  This vibrant track is off their 2002 LP, Jump Leads.
    3.    (0:08:38) Skream BLUE EYEZ - Wicked thick dub selection from this UK youngster - barely 21.  Going deep, going down-tempo, and blowing out glass near any subwoofer!  Oliver Jones was at the center of 'dubstep' as a teenager (as early as 15), and says he roughly has 8000 songs in various stages of development.  Watch out for this freak!
    4.    (0:12:43) The Doors PEOPLE ARE STRANGE - Not a big fan of The Doors, however, I can't help but admire these lyrics and shuffle as the backbeat.  Along with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison died at 27 years old - the triple-J-jinx of musician deaths during 1970-71; a very morose and sobering year for music.  
    5.    (0:14:49) Junior Boys DOUBLE SHADOW - Canadian pop electronica group.  Their second LP, So This Is Goodbye, was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, which is given to the best full-length Canadian album.
    6.    (0:18:50) Triosk Meets Jan Jelinek ON THE LAKE - Australia's new found glory, in terms of me here!  Adrian Klumpes, an experimental jazz pianist orchestrates the trio with Ben Waples on bass and one of my latest favorite drummers, Laurence Pike - who also plays drums for Pivot (on several FSB podcasts already).  This record comes from 1+3+1, Triosk meets Jan Jelinek.  Mr. Jelinek is an electronic musician from Germany.  This song is a great reference for 5/4 time signatures made to groove like a 4/4 beat - a la The Cinematic Orchestra style, who follows (but in 4).  
    7.    (0:23:47) The Dining Rooms FLUXUS (THE CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA WORLD GOES ROUND MIX) - Ambient/electronica band from Milan, Italy producing quite funky beats.  Who better than to mix your music than none other than The Cinematic Orchestra?  Wicked track from their Versioni Particolari remix LP.
    8.    (0:30:03) Holocaust GOD BE WITH YOU - Production by the artists that follow this track in the mix, Blue Sky Black Death.  The Holocaust is a Wu-Tang affiliate, preaching the bleak ally-speak, war-zone like reality of the streets and the world in general.   
    9.    (0:33:35) Blue Sky Black Death DAYS ARE YEARS - Another incredible track from their double-LP record, A Heap Of Broken Images.  One disc is pure instrumentals, and the other guests rappers.  This San Francisco duo treads boundaries uncharted in hip hop and continues to push hip hop music towards a more viable and respectable genre by including more than just a single loop, verse/chorus structure like most mainstream hip hop.  
    10.    (0:39:11) Peace Orchestra WHO AM I - Trip hop producer from Vienna, Austria.  This track is the most well-known track Peter Kruder has produced, due to its exposure in the Animatrix project by the Wachowski Brothers.  This track comes from Kruder's self-titled debut from 1999.
    11.    (0:44:49) Lewis Taylor SHENEVERDID - OOOhhh, Mr. Taylor!  Come back to music!  This funky, soulful guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer has retired from making music, and left underground albums for people like me to present to you!  I was first introduced to Stoned V.1 by my mate, Jason, about 5 years ago.  Ever since, I've been amazed by the innovation and the quality of music coming from this one man.  Absolutely excellent!  He has only produced a couple of albums, mainly remaining a performing artist in the UK, but Stoned V.1 is a must in your library!
    12.    (0:49:09) Black Milk TRONIC SUMMER - The second of brilliant hip hop production on this mix.  This is an instrumental track off Black Milk's solo record, Tronic.  He hails from Detroit, Michigan and has produced tracks throughout the main vein of hip hop.  
    13.    (0:51:13) Alice Russell LET US BELONG - To my listeners, I hope you do not get sick of hearing Ms. Russell on my mixes, because as long as she's making music, she will always have a slot in The Funky Soul Burner podcast.  This absolutely mind-numbing experience comes from her latest LP, Pot Of Gold.  In this, it is the space between notes that captivates me most, and pushes and pulls me (most noticeably with the drums) while her soulful voice wraps around its simplicity.  Does the bass in the verse sound familiar?  Think when you first heard Eminem...
    14.    (0:55:26) Lindstrom I FEEL SPACE - Another brilliant track off, Its A Feedelity Affair.  This is in homage to Lindstrom's 2008 release, Where You Go I Go Too.  I would put some music from that LP if I could, but it would take up half the entire mix!  
    15.    (1:00:59) Muse BUTTERFLIES & HURRICANES - This was the track that solidified my admiration for this band off Absolution for its Rachmaninoff theme throughout, especially in the bridge of the song, where it sounds straight from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3.  Matthew Bellamy, the lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist is highly regarded in the UK and is often compared to Thom Yorke of Radiohead.  Muse have been hailed as one of the greatest live performance bands on the planet...so, check 'em out!   I was first made aware of this band by my bro after they released their debut, Showbiz - the Radiohead reference is quite clear, but also quite different.  If you go on YouTube, type this song in LIVE, and you can see the outstanding performance Mr. Bellamy gives via piano - for a Rock guy!

Your experience has ended as a temporal entity, yet you've only just begun.  Welcome to Peoples Cohort Psychedelica.  Embrace your peers, the Funky Soul Burner acknowledges you...
