Two of the hardest to find, most recognizable tunes from the catalog of
master composer Galt MacDermot are on 7-inch for the first time. The
moody "Coffee Cold," originally from the 1966 Shapes Of Rhythm LP, is
funky and deep enough to be a Portishead instrumental, and in fact was
re-purposed along these lines by Handsome Boy Modeling School for their
tune "The Truth." The funk and breaks world already knew MacDermot from
the Hair soundtrack, when it turned out the main sample from the biggest
hip hop song of 1993 (Run DMC’s “Down With The King”), had been from
one of Galt's tunes. But "Space," used in 1996 on Busta Rhymes’
“Woo-Hah”, the B-side of this new Fraternity release, is from
MacDermot's much more obscure Woman Is Sweeter soundtrack and remains
much harder to find. Fully re-mastered, this new
Fraternity Music Group pressing is back-to-back iconic instrumental
jazz-funk classics (including un-credited drum performances by legends
Bernard Purdie and Idris Muhammad) and is an essential addition to the
funky DJs crate.
