Gil Scott-Heron - Secrets (1978)



This is the album of his that yielded one of Gil's biggest hits "Angel Dust", which is a catchy diatribe against the white powder that nobody seems to use anymore. There's lots of other stuff on the album with the same sort of political soul/jazz feel to them, including "Angola, Louisiana", "Show Bizness", "Better Days Ahead", and "Madison Avenue".

1. Angel Dust
2. Madison Avenue
3. Cane
4. Third World Revolution
5. Better Days Ahead
6. 3 Miles Down
7. Angola Louisiana
8. Show Bizness
9. A Prayer For Everybody To Be Free

MADLIB MEDICINE SHOW #11: LOW BUDGET HIGH FI MUSIC

28-track hip-hop album. Pre-order for 3LP and CD.
Expected ship date: Mid-January 2011

After a brief pause in the Medicine Show series, Madlib returns with a 28-track, full-length hip-hop album of collaborations with AG, Guilty Simpson, MED, Oh No, Strong Arm Steady and others. Karriem Riggins pops in for a short Supreme Team session, Madlib & Oh No debut their group The Professionals, and we hear for the first time a Jaylib-era track from Madlib & Dilla's never-realized second album.

The unofficial title of this album is Dirty Demos selected by the Loop Digga, a reference to a fire which destroyed some of this album's master tapes - a story detailed in the CD's 12-page booklet. The CD cover is by Isabel Samaras, LP illustrations by Gustavo Eandi, and design by Jeff Jank.
