* STOZO THE CLOWN - DIG DONZ
(Funk/Electronica)
A Review of first record by Soul Patrol Bob Davis
Well, well, well Ronald 'Stozo' Edwards the world famous P-Funk artist, sometime NYC promoter and probably the biggest Shuggie Otis fan on the internet (this side of yours truly) has been promising this CD for quite a while now and I finally have it in my hands. I open up the CD and see that Stozo has written me & Soul-Patrol a very nice message and also hand drawn one of his famous Stozo logos right on the label of the CD itself and I smile. Then I put it into the CD player and say to myself....."whoa this is some wild sh*t, that sounds like the Temptations on acid..." Next song "sounds like James Brown fried, dyed and laid to the side in a pool of blood".
Then I pull out the liner notes and it all starts to make sense to me.... It's Electronica!
And much like another surprising CD of Electronica I recently reviewed (Tricky Dilemma) it requires at least two listens to make sense. And when I get to song 4 STO ZODIAK (Digi Donz), all is right with the world because now I realize that right here Stozo is doin his own version of INSPIRATION INFORMATION, and that is kinda what this CD is all about. Another look at the liner notes reveals that on song 1 RONALD WUZ A ROLLIN STONE, Stozo uses "Shuggie's original funk box" and that makes me smile as well. The lower center of the "gatefold liner notes" reveals a computer running a sound editing program, revealing the true roots of this album which does an excellent job of combining original electronic music, samples and live instrumentation. In the liner notes Stozo credits artists like Shuggie, James Brown, Miles Davis & Public Enemy as inspirations and I can certainly hear them all in this well crafted CD that while not for everyone, will certainly be on my playlist in 2004.
