In Geosynchronous Orbit and Looking Dapper
In celebration of a resurrected Good Looking Organization, I have been listening largely to a nonstop mix of the first five LTJ Bukem-helmed Earth compilations (as well as Volume 7, but the rest I need to find in the stacks).
While I discovered LTJ's efforts shortly after Goldie and Roni Size, it was he that really bridged my love of 70s funk and soul with a jungle consciousness that has never stopped appealling. GLO, along with its sister label Looking Good and the various sub-boutique imprints all had a consistent level of quality, both in terms of the music and in the overall packaging. Nookie, Makoto*, Artemis, Blame, Tayla, Big Bud (sometimes with the late Weldon Irvine), Blue Mar Ten, PHD & the Funky Technician, Doc Scott, and the Amalgamation of Soundz among so many others.
* especially the almost straight acid jazz cut (with Lori Fine on vocals) currently in my ears: You're Divine.
