Leaders of the New School - A Future Without A Past... (1991)

Lest we forget, this is where Busta Rhymes started (see above right) and is one of the lesser-know Native Tongues-affiliated groups, so you think you know what to expect lyrically, and you'd be right - just delivered with more humour.
But whereas Black Sheep surprised you with harsh lyrical content, LOTNS' first album catches you off guard by basically 'doing a Pharcyde' a good year before the fact, and very well too.
This basically spells: unhinged, cartoonish, funk/soul-based hip-hop all delivered at a pace.
They did one album after this before splitting up and none of the non-Busta members did anything memorable thereafter, despite delivering that essential B-boy group dynamic on this album (i.e. the deep-voiced one, the high-pitched one, the zany one, synchronised rhymes etc).

Think Brand Nubian with a sense of humour, or the Jungle Brothers on a Pharcyde psychedelic tip - but more of an amphetamine high than a sluggish opium one. A Future Without A Past.. is one of many front-to-back classics from this era and has been unfairly overlooked in favour of the equally-great Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde IMO.
Would recommend checking out if you're also a fan of KMD's Mr. Hood, Beastie Boys or the nonsense-speak of Das Efx - it's all on the same energetic consciousness vibe.

My favourite Lou Reed album by a mile - Caroline Says #1 is a killer song.
He's best post Velvet album. "The Kids" rips my heart out every time I hear it. Berlin cemented his reputation as the voice for all people f*cked up people.

Tonight I am digging a lesser known early ninetiesw gem, Cut by legendary but now defunct Australian band Hunters and Collec tors...

An amazingly refreshing blend of their raw pub rock sound with electronics, which actually haven't really dated alot... nor have the songs themselves, there are some timelessly great melodies here, along with heartelt lyrics that never fail to capture my heart and my imagination... a bloody good album...

This is bloody brilliant. Unfortunately it's one of those albums I acquired from my old man and it's not tagged although I have the back cover so I got to get typing!

I got this one yesterday but didn't get around to listening to it 'til today, I've never heard ska and punk blended together this well, and it's sung in Spanish to boot.
