I knew the name, saw the cool album cover photo and knew some of the samples but never put it all together and checked out who this brother was.
Baby Huey (1944 -1970) died before his first and only album came out.
Amazing psychedelic soul with awesome singing and stellar musicians.

Haven’t listened to that in years, must give it a spin over the week

Also discovered this tonight played between bands at a gig. I'm amazed I never heard this one before.
Scottish post punk was famous for its love of melody but this EP from 1979 is slightly more off kilter. The first song is brilliant.

Never heard of them but that’s deadly.

Finally gave in and listened to Guts by Olivia Rodrigo today. Pretty cool pop music.

I’ll have to give this another go - thought it was overrated on previous listens, pretty ordinary soul rock record.

Any suggestions in same genre?

I sort of take it back. The album tracks are quite dull.

I really like Vampire, in fact it's one of my favourite new songs of the year, but I haven't ventured into the album yet

There's a good song towards the end called Pretty Not Pretty. I always approve of the double use of words in songs.

Listened to the BLACK MERDA album twice as I did with the COSMIC TRUTH tune.

it's a bit different from BABY HUEY - wider range of influences with a lot more rock, psych and blues.
I am not familiar with this kind of stuff apart George Clinton stuff or very early Kool and The Gang or Betty Davis etc.
Still prefer Huey but I will keep listening. Thanks.
I suppose they knew merda means shit in Spanish.

I had heard some OK punk tunes from Berlin band ABWARTS and knew FM Einheit from NEUBAUTEN had been in them but these songs from 1981 are great.

Inevitably Einheit uses an angle grinder here.

Another Berlin band from 1981 with Manon Duursma from Malaria!
Never got beyond demo stage.

Marc Chung was also in Abwarts (he’s playing bass there), they left for Neubauten together. I never got into Abwarts, too traditional punk for me.

Sprung were weird enough for me but only know a few things from compilations. Vinyl on Demand did some cool box sets from that era and there was another compilation called Berlin Super 80s which came with a DVD of Super 8 movies from the era.

Cheers for the info Cornu.

I also got the 2020 reissue of the MUTABOR! 12" from 1982 recently.

https://www.discogs.com/release/16156910-Mutabor-Two-Wishes

w/ Gudrun Gut, Bettina Koster, Manon Duursma and Gary Asquith (Rema-Rema, Mass and later Renegade Soundwave).

The 2021 LP of Mania D / Malaria! / Matador demos is great. Comes with a huge poster of Mania D looking shit cool!
