WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
SQUEEZEBRAIN & THE MACHINE ‘Uncle J’ (Beat-Nik Records)
‘Apocalypse Now’ chopper-introed and other soundtrack quoting brilliant funky 0-109-109⅔-110-110⅓-111-0bpm scratch mix medley of Uncle James Brown and more, the best of its type in ages though probably hard to find on this “limited edition promo” (‘Dirty Harry’ quotes are over a simple short B-side 0-116¼-0bpm backing track)
