Mutiny 'Aftershock 2005'

Mutiny
Aftershock 2005
Carrying on with the Bill Laswell theme, (although in a minor way here), Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey is the one time drummer with P-Funk, aswell as found on other projects by Bill Laswell, Lucky Peterson, Jah Wobble, Pharaoh Sanders James Blood Ulmer & even Snoop Dog; just to mention a few. He also wrote the 1976 legendary track 'Tear the roof off the sucker' (Mothership Connection).

Funk rock with a rock/pseudo metal feel this is an ok effort, but for those into this kind of funk rock/crossover should look more closely at the Laswell produced O. G. Funk posted a few months ago, which I believe is a far more solid effort.

Bill Laswell is credited here as 'executive producer & psycho analysis', Robert Musso, (who should never be overlooked), typically as engineer & also production, whilst Nicky Skopelitis Can be heard on guitar (trk 2). Desires (trk 8) is notably inspired by Eddie Hazel. Vocal duties are shared around, but more often left in the hands of Fashe Forde. I can't really fault the drumming of "Bigfoot", but maybe his songwriting talents aren't quite up there with his drumming skill. Just out of interest Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey was inducted into the rock & roll Hall of Fame in the late 90's.

In so far as Bill Laswell is concerned I think (but can't say with 100% surety), that this will be my last related post for a little bit at least. I'm not quite sure what a little bit actually means in terms of time, but I'd like to post some other stuff. Actually, tonight I had intended to post some funk, but it just so happened that Mr Laswell appeared here also. Hmmmm, what doesn't he have a hand in? I can't reall anything related to classical, but then again with some of his World Music type projects, they too might be considered classical. The man is so prolific he's turned into a serious monster!

By the by...I've been kinda busy over the weekend, so for all those who made comments they are very much appreciated (& have been read) & I will get back to you all shortly. I had a choice this evening to answer comments (which I enjoy being a part of) or post something. I suspect that a new post is more important for most. Cheers!!

***Note: Mr Moodswings Stefan has added another P- Funk related Laswell project to the mix (Limbomaniacs). Please see comments for info regarding this release. All thanks to goes out to Stefan.
