The Fundamentals of Science with Q the Physicist
February 10th, 2008 Posted in Podcasts
This week I rediscover Ursula Rucker, spoken word artist whose powerful words can move the world, methinks. Her 2001 album, Supa Sista, is the source for three of the four tracks featured here; the fourth, Loveless, is a 4Hero tune. While not too spectacularly fast drum and bass wise, the songs have nice grooves that incorporate well with the mix. Most of the mix is driven by female vocals (except for Honey and Brown Boy) and while the spoken word might be a bit weighty at times, the rest of the tunes (London Elektricity and The Funktastics figure prominently in the mix) all have nice liquid grooves that should keep your head bobbing as you listen. You just might even be inspired to write a poem or two after listening to this mix. I know I was!
