Music

Sound happens--hear historically!

Musical artefacts and commentary:

Music is a fossil, a sedimentation of past sounds. They lie buried beneath contemporary tunes. Provide below an example of a musical artefact that traces back to the Black Atlantic (jazz, funk, dub, hip-hop all have Caribbean ancestors). 300 words will do--but feel free to link to anything or anywhere!

Easy Listening for Intergalactic Travelers:

Add to our interminable list of Atlantean musicians and tunes. Be alphetical!

THE SPACE BASS:

Bootsy Collins played a number of these over the years with Parliament (on the front page, you can see a five-pickup version), but 100 of these were made by Washburn to Bootsy's exact specifications.  So if you want that classic, Funkadelic sound--Youngquist approved--and have $5000 or so to spend... Space is the Place!

(Played with the Clone Theory and the Bootzilla.)
