Ka-meel (sic)

So..., some guys I know did this thing. It's kinda like Saul's Boutique, which is to say it's totally unofficial, but compiled entirely from the best available official sources, and then sweetened for maximum listening enjoyment. It's an album by a guy that loved the color purple, though he recorded it under a different name than his own. It was scheduled to come out in early 1987, but was canceled in favor of another album, which was then canceled and edited into yet another album. The album that was finally released is considered a classic, and three songs from the album I'm posting here appeared on it. It's one of my favorite records that the guy who loves purple made, even though it was never released. I wanted to share it with you, as I think it's a damn shame that it hasn't been given a proper release yet, despite there being a super deluxe box set for the album that did come out in 1987 which had a few songs from this one. If this all sounds like I'm going around in circles, it's because I am, as it would probably be problematic if I mentioned the purple guy's name, so...

New mastering from the best available sources, new artwork, new download link. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, as it is a serious upgrade over the old bootlegs and puts all the songs together in the same place once and for all.

    Thank you, this sounds amazing. Even though I've heard some of these songs before, it really works better as a whole album. "Good Love" should have been a hit!

      It's crazy good, isn't it? It feels like a really weird deep cut, but I could see it getting dropped in clubs and mixes.

Sorry, smaller post, but we've been getting vaccines, dealing with post-vaccine vibes, and general everyday weirdness. So here's a little one for your listening pleasure. Back on one of my earlier blogs, I'd posted this 12" but put the links up on SoundCloud. I thought this was pretty cool as you could listen to it and download the file if you wanted. That said, I was unexpectedly hit with a strike for posting copyrighted material, almost certainly by a copyright bot. Now, this song is available on streaming platforms and digital storefronts, sure, but neither of these versions are as they were issued on an advance promo 12" that didn't identify Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam , only that the tracks were produced by Robert Clivilles and David Cole . It genuinely had a large question mark at the top of the label and the words "Guess Who?" instead of an artist or song name. I'm sure someone thought this was an edgy tactic to get people wondering whose l

there's a message in my alpha bits. it says oooooooo.

If you get the reference in the title, congratulations, here's your prize. If you didn't get it, you still get the prize. If you feel the prize is worthless, what are you doing here? Now that that's out of the way... I've never understood Italo Disco . Most of what I've heard hasn't been to my liking, but what I did like still seems weird. It feels like there is a lot of wholesale theft in Italo Disco records, covering songs, making medleys, sampling without permission. Sure, all of those things happen in just about every genre of music, but what I've seen of it in Italo Disco is pretty shameless with no attempts to hide it. Rip off Manuel Gottsching's E2-E4 and make Sueno Latino's self-titled single ? Okay, pretty cool too. Make a million bootleg medleys of recent hits? Sometimes that's alright, sometimes it's not. Cover someone else's hits and give your "group" the same name as the one you're covering but in reverse? Wi
