	PART 1 : Live selections from New York radio in the 80's (WBLS, WKTU, KISS FM) featuring music, traffic and weather reports from money-making Manhattan. Remember, these mixes were put together before samplers were invented, using only decks and reel-to-reel tape machines. Starting with the brilliant 10-minute Tony Humphries 'Traffic Jam' mastermix for KISS FM followed by the phenomenal DJ Twix 'Devastate' (check out the live vinyl looping half-way through). Next up, a stripped-down dub mix of Planet Rock mixing into Kraftwerk's 'Numbers' and CHANNEL J's sex therapy phone-in. The fun really begins with the legendary WBLS Mister Magic/Marley Marl 'Rap Attack'. The best remix I've ever heard is here, Craig G/Marley Marl's version of Tears for Fears 'Shout' - a total annihilation of the original. Finally, an unusual coupling of Newkleus 'Jam on it' mixing into Talking Heads 'Slippery People'.

Sun Ra - Cry Of Jazz

THE CRY OF JAZZ is structured in seven parts. Parts 1, 3, 5 and 7 consist of dramatic scenes in which the significance of jazz and Black American life is discussed by an interracial cast. Sandwiched between these discussions are parts 2, 4 and 6, in which the structure, history, and future of jazz and Black American life are presented in documentary form, along with a jazz soundtrack. Most of the music is composed and performed by the late jazz great Sun Ra and his Arkestra. The music is vintage Sun Ra from his '50s Chicago year
