For those of U who dont know, I recently went back to an album called R.Hide in Plain Site by Romanthony. Im sure other orgers would love it if they dont know it already. If anyone is interested in swapping music for a copy of the album send me a note. In the mean time check this review out to wet ur appetite...

Romanthony
R. Hide in Plain Site
(Glasgow Underground)


One of the most eagerly awaited releases of the new millenium, Romanthony's third album sees this mythical dance music legend finally coming out of the cold. His name first cropped up around a decade ago when funky house records started surfacing on the New York club scene. Ten years on, Romanthony has recently given his first interviews and had his picture taken for magazines, claiming modestly that prior to this, he didn't merit the attention. He certainly does now as R. Hide in Plain Site mixes Prince style vocals, funky breaks reminiscent of James Brown and cool house beats. It's 100% modern and looks likely to transport Romanthony to superstar status. Word is that The Artist (Prince) recently heard the album and muttered "Why am I not doing this?" If it's funk, soul, pop or house that lights your candle, check out Romanthony for 2000...

I've got this Album for a couple of months. There's ONE song called "Bring U Up" which is VERY "Prince-like", I even thought it was truly him, when I heard it for the first time. But the rest of the songs are mere house-tunes.

Glad to see someone else has this album. Bring U Up is like P however, also check '? $ Luv' aswell uncanny. I like it though, cos even the housy tracks sound like Prince.

If somebody wants to hear the voice of Romanthony, you can hear him sing on "One More Time" and "Too Long", the first and the last song of the Daft Punk-Album "Discovery". Both are very cool booty-shakers

Crystal Vault is right by the way. Forgot to mention the Daft Punk collaborations.

Daft Punk are gonna be remembered in 30 years time.

There are a lot of acts springing up all the time int he public arena, and you can tell instantly who's gonna be the one that is gonna be the sound of that era.
