I really want to subscribe to this mag, but I don't have the money nor the time to indulge it.
Though, i'll make it to the bookstore for this issue. Would anyone know if the Heliocentrics is influenced by Sun Ra in some way? | |

Though, i'll make it to the bookstore for this issue. Would anyone know if the Heliocentrics is influenced by Sun Ra in some way? From the article... Over the last four years, the time it has taken the group to conceptualize and complete the debut, Out There, the group has been listening to everything from Sun Ra and the Silver Apples to Broadcast and King Tubby. Another quote... The goal of the Heliocentrics is, according to drummer Malcolm Catto, "a return back to something more humanoid, like the intricacies of a group of musicians communicating together and the subtlety of a living, breathing rhythm section, rather than have the musical straightjacket of quantizing or two-bar loops." With their mission to turn back the clocks to a time when music was made by relating to others rather than sitting alone in the glow of a computer screen, it's clear that these aren't some musical new-jacks who think they can buck conventional wisdom with youthful idealism and vigor. Sounds good to me.

agreed, tA and Cinnie!! I love the fact that this magazine features the guys that were behind the secenes: The Writers, Producers, and Musicians that actually created this Music!! Nobody else is doin' this--We didn't even have a magazine like this back in the day, certainly not in the US! We had to put up with crap like Right On! magazine ( "Win A Date With Stoney Jackson" --WTF?????)   -----to read about The Music itself, you had to go across the pond, at least the UK had Blues and Soul magazine....
There's exactly one print interview with Charles Stepney, and that's from around 1970, in Downbeat magazine. I'm glad Waxpoetics got to talk to the Mizell brothers while they're still alive--it's nice that somebody finally did, in the last 35 years... anyway, All Hail Waxpoetics!!!

Sad but funny. What would be today's equivalent? Win a date with Soulja Boy? 
Speaking of going to Euro-mags for detailed info, recently I ordered a back issue of Jazzwise (December 2002/January 2003, Issue 60) for an article examining Jimi Hendrix and his Jazz influences and connections. http://www.jazzwise.com/magazine/ It's a 7 page piece titled... 
...Running the Voodoo Child Down. This month's issue features an article on bassist Coleridge Goode. (Recorded with Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in 1946.) tA Tribal Disorder

While record hunting today, I found out that a local record store, a hip hop oriented store to be precise, sells Waxpoetics.
Now, I've been wondering this for awhile and I'd like y'all to clear this up before I start buying the mag. Is it geared towards hip hop/rap/new music or is the mag all about the real stuff, yanno, the stuff they have on the covers? [Edited 10/20/07 13:04pm] It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

It is geared towards "the real schitt", a small amount of which is hip hop (Public Enemy). | |

I gotta go get a copy then... and ask 'em if they have older issues lying around that I can buy. I want the Rick James, Mandrill, Meters & Parliament issues It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Is it geared towards hip hop/rap/new music or is the mag all about the real stuff, yanno, the stuff they have on the covers? Not a strictly Hip-Hop mag at all or I definitely wouldn't be subscribing. What is does regarding that genre is look under the hood of Hip-Hop. The music it's based on. Covers a lot of original Jazz/R&B/Latin/World artists along with (as paligap noted) the behind the scenes creative forces that were involved. If Miles is on the cover, there's a feature article about him in the mag. tA Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Yea, I knew they had articles about the stuff they put on the cover, but I don't think a mag is worth subscribing to if it only has one interesting article per issue
But yanno, it's good to know that the magazine has some actual depth and deals with real music. I ordered the Rick James & Mandrill issues from dustygroove, for 6.90$ a piece. Gonna go cop the Miles issue some time next week.

For record collecters and about record collectors. The Parliament/Funkadelic issue (#18 AUG/SEPT 2006), had a feature article on Brazilian artist Ed Motta...  
...I almost passed out when they showed his "Room-O-LPs"

Oldschool funk ..(mainly stuff with breaks) But also about the business side of a lot of people's stories..as well as recording techniques that were used..vintage pics from back in the days..its Superbad..I can read it from cover to cover and find something i dig..*cause im all about oldschool funk !
