I just picked up Amp Fiddler- "Afro-Strut"

Good Stuff.....I wish we could get some comments on this cause Janet is tired!

Umm, am i late?? I usually am about music, I try to be as current as possible, that's part of why i am on the Org!

thanx for the response

Fine....people keep lookin in but ain't got nothin to say....
i guess nobody has heard of Amp and can't give me any opinions, or maybe a show story or two....

Thanx again for nothin

its not that...its just, well...amp's been talked about a lot when the album dropped and for a good few years after.

the guy at the record store told me THIS album just came out. It has a 2006 copyright. I was just looking for other opinions about it. I know about his first album. But i thougt this was a new one. Sorry i guess i am late....

Thank U for responding at least...it is appreciated...

Someone (I think it was paligap) posted about this album not so long ago.It was recently released. I havent heard it. I 've got "Waltz of a Ghetto Fly" , but it didnt really move me. I've heard that his other material is outstanding,though.

oh, and get used to Janet for a while.

Well his album is a groovy juicy fun jam. I bought Janet so i am supporting her, it's just that i feel she is 40 years old and from Cali...her sound on this album does not ring true to me. I live in ATL and she obviously was "inspired" by the sounds down here but lemme tell u honey, Miss Janet would not be up in the 'crunk' party passin a blunt and chillin with the round the way folk this sound she is pumping on her album would suggest....

I like his new album a lot more than the last one . And he is an amazing live artist .

Kim69 said:

I hear ya.

Kim69 said:

ohh..this is a new one? ill gotta check it out...thanks for the update.

late pass granted...

...



That's funny, I just posted this in the "whathcha listen to?' thread:



Great album, Light years better than "Ghetto Fly", IMO....

paligap said:

I hope so. I liked Ghetto Fly for about 3 days, then the "new CD smell" wore off...
since then, I've been a-fear-ed to go near anymore of his stuff...

I have some of his songs but I haven't had time to listen to them all...

I haven't heard his new album yet.
But Amp is a really nice guy.
I'd spoke to him ones after the show.

Tosh said:

wow, what city did he play in when you met him?

Pr3ttyM3ss said:

In The Haque. After the show he came to me, and ask if I enjoyed the show etc.
We talked about his band/music etc. That day pfunk drummer Jerome Brailey was in his band.
All the bandmembers with the exception of Jerome were available for the fans. and 2 female background singers were talking and dancing with the fans in that basement. One of his background singer was Stepanie of Stefanie of something like that.

Tosh said:

that's great... okay, but i have one more question, what's the Haque?

Saw this brotha' at a festival in Detroit this past summer and he debuted some songs from the release.

Pr3ttyM3ss said:

It' s a city in The Netherlands. In Dutch it's Den Haag.

Tosh said:

Were U @ the gig in Het Paard Van Troje ?
I met Jerome Brailey backstage then and had 2 of his albums autographed .
Big Foot is a cool cat .

Amp's 1rst show which i saw was also in The Hague , @ the North Sea Jazz festival .
He had an amazing keyboardplayer during that show , which unfortunately wasn't performing during the Paard-gig .
