Review: Elbernita "Twinkie" Clark is the core member of The Clark Sisters and she wrote, produced and arranged this magnificent album, He Gave Me Nothing To Lose (But All To Gain), back in 1979. It is a stunning debut long player that has never before been reissued and so is one of those that fetches super high process on the seance hand market. It brings funk and soul totters with plenty of real and raw gospel vibes, lovely vocal harmonies and even a few dance floor ready funky numbers like 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright'. A real allrounder that is well worth having.

Review: Given the brilliantly simple concept behind this fine compilation - contemporary Detroit producers remix Funkadelic - we're rather surprised nobody's done it before. With 17 varied re-rubs stretched across three slabs of wax, there's naturally plenty to enjoy. Highlights come thick and fast, from the deep house/P-funk fusion of Alton Miller's take on "Get Your Ass Off and Jam" and Andres' loose, hip-hop influenced revision of "Music For My Mother", to the thrusting loops and heady late night hypnotism of Anthony Shake Shakir and T-Dancer's version of "Standing on the Verge". While many of the versions stay relatively faithful to the original, the more "out-there" interpretations - see BMG's outer-space ambient dub of "Maggot Brain" and Moodymann's epic revision of "Cosmic Slop" - are also consistently impressive.
