Amp Fiddler

Has anybody checked out Amp Fiddler's new CD, Waltz of a Ghetto Fly? http://www.ampfiddler.com/ What's the word?

I had high expectations of this release, so high I even paid $25 to get it before it was released in the states. I should've waited until I saw it in the used or cut out bin. There was a lot of hype surrounding it and with good reason, one would think that a person from the P-funk camp going solo was a long time coming and he'd have a lot to say musically. It just turned out to be some bland neo-soul shit! Though the first track is off the hook, there just wasn't enough of that throughout the rest of the album.

Agreed , this lp just sounds tired. Just following a lame trend.

His first lp is the bomb!! The entire P-Funk MOb is on it including Eddie Hazel. You won't be disappointed.

His album may be disappointing, but he is a brilliant live act worship worship. I've seen him live twice this year and I was overwhelmed nod.

Yeah, "With Respect(1990)" is a much better intro to Amp Fiddler...

"With Respect" is seriously or will be seriously slept on. It is 100 times better than his latest effort. Every track smokes on his first one. It's definitely worth seeking out.

I will have to check him out live! Seen him many times with The P. And have met him and spoken over the phone with him several times. Nice dude.
