Ill Advised / Mr B.I.R.D.

Volume 5

Well it's the long awaited return of the kids from the Heavy Duty Boot institute for delinquents and social misfits. HDB 005 is an essential box filler, each track a stroke of under the counter genius.

Can You Bring the Freaks combines Charles Wright's impeccable brass ensemble with an vocal slice and dice of the low slung hip hop workings of Grand Agent.

Track 2 is Where Are You? an essential summertime pick me up, The Jackson 5's Where Are You? matched up (without asking!) with the legendary microphone master Grand Puba... Laidback but still funkier than your white Uncle Sylvester, a classic in the aisles! (Maybe?)

Everyones favourite avian brother: Mr B.I.R.D. borrows the The Playboy's 'Snoopy' force feeds it through the desk adding some Chicks On Speed, Rapping Hood and Mos Def along the way... The results are most excellent!, a real b-boy throwdown, Organs, french vocal, recognisable harmonies, boogie down breaks, ooooh this is good! contains all of your required five a day breaks and samples.

as if this couldn't get any better the Mediterranean beat butcher Mr B.I.R.D. Drops what could only be described as a weapon of dancefloor destruction, Dick Hymans legendary Give It Up or Turn It Loose into Diana Ross and Afrika Bambaata, what comes out the end is sheer brilliance!, expect to hear this worldwide on every decent dancefloor from Barnsley to Bangladesh, 'upside down, Boy your turning me, inside out... round and round!!!!'
