    Debut CD single from Kate Nash. It's been a wicked year for young Kate: she fell down the stairs, broke her foot and found that she could write songs.

Kate has since signed to Fiction and gone from strength to strength, with 'Foundations' being her first proper single. Features 'Foundations' and 'Habanera' (Tango Version). Polydor.

    4 out of 5 stars Solid Sound.......2007-08-03

    This group was unusually large for its time, and while it was another minor player among the many British entertainers to invade North America's shores in the Sixties, it can lay claim to one feat usually denied most U.K. groups: their first N.American hit, Baby Now That I've Found You, crossed over into the R&B charts! Not even The Beatles could manage that.

    Peaking at # 11 Billboard Hot 100 in February 1968 on the Uni label (they recorded for Pye in the U.K.), it also made it to # 33 R&B, b/w Come On Back To Me.

    Consisting of vocalist Clem Curtis, Anthony Gomez on keyboards, Eric Allandale on trombone, saxophonists Pat Burke and Mike Elliot, guitarist Alan Warner, drummer Tim Harris, and bassist Peter Macbeth, the group scored again in March that year with Back On My Feet Again which topped out at # 59 Hot 100 b/w I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving, also a # 22 Hot 100 that year for Herman's Hermits.

    February 1969 saw their biggest hit, Build Me Up Buttercup, rise to # 3 b/w New Direction, but after that it was like they fell off a cliff. When Elliott and Curtis left the group, and Colin Young climbed on board, In The Bad Bad Old Days (Before You Loved Me) could only manage a # 51 Hot 100 in May 1969 b/w Give Me Love, followed by My Little Chickadee which barely made the charts, settling in at # 99 Hot 100 in July b/w Soloman Grundy.

    In 1970 the group split up, although a new Foundations [with a completely different cast] was formed a bit later, but with no further chart success either in the U.K. or North America.

    A nice even representative sound of the late 60's pop boom well worth a spot in your collection.

    1 out of 5 stars More Than the 2 Hits..........2006-03-15

    I love The Foundations who made a lot of great music in the sixties. Of course everyone has heard "Baby Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup", but they had so many great songs. I had a ten inch compilation from the early'80's with about ten songs, all of which are on this disc. They would've fit in very well with a lot of the Motown groups, although they were a multi-racial English band. I mistakenly gave this recording one star when I intended five.

    5 out of 5 stars A couple of pop classics.......2005-03-14

    So many singers and groups are remembered for just one song. The Foundations, whose music was at the R+B end of the pop spectrum, fared slightly better as they had two major international hits.

    Baby now that I've found you, their debut single, topped the British chart in November 1967 and just failed to make the American top ten. It has a really bouncy tune that hides the sadness of the lyrics. In the mid-nineties, Alison Krauss gave the song a completely different interpretation, slowing the song right down. Both versions are highly enjoyable in their different ways.

    Build me up buttercup, another upbeat tune but this time with upbeat lyrics, peaked at number two in Britain but topped the American charts. This song was originally intended for the Paper Dolls, but a mix-up meant that they did not turn up to record it at the scheduled time, so the song was given to the Foundations instead.

    The Foundations had a few other hits. In the bad bad old days was a top ten UK hit, while Back on my feet again made the UK top twenty. Two other songs, Any old time and Born to live born to die, were minor UK hits while My little chickadee was a minor American hit.

    The rest of this CD contains many other excellent songs although it omits all the obvious cover versions that are often featured on Foundations compilations. Unless you want those covers, you find all the Foundations tracks that you need here.

    5 out of 5 stars FOUNDATIONS ARE MUCH MORE THAN A TWO HIT WONDER.......2002-04-12

    ...I always knew their two big hits, Baby Now that I've Found You and Build Me Up Buttercup from the radio and I decided to take the plunge into the group's other music. What I discovered is that though the hits are good, they are not the best songs on this realy good cd. In the Bad Bad Old Days, Born to Live Born to Die, Baby I Couln't See, Take A Girl Like You, My Little Chicadee, Something For My Baby and especialy the ridiculously catchy Stoney Ground are all more than enough to convince any listener that this group is wildly underated. A must have sixties classic.

    5 out of 5 stars The Very Best Of The Foundations Review -error correction.......2002-04-02

    Agree that the collection is a good representation of The Foundations but it is misleading. First of all because Colin Young, previously known as the lead singer of 'Joey Young and the Tonicks'in 1965-66,replaced Clem Curtis in The Foundations in 1968. Secondly, because their greatest hit, Build Me Up Buttercup, featured Colin Young as the lead singer, not Clem Curtis so to write that the group 'fell off a cliff'when Clem Curtis was replaced by Colin Young does not make sense!!

    Amazon.com essential recording

    Funk 101, for sure. We may never totally understand how James Brown took his music from the earlier styles of R&B he assimilated to the feverish development of the harder, more modern sound of records ranging from "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" to "Say It Loud-I'm Black and I'm Proud," but here's another chance for us to listen in awe. In addition to long versions of the period's cornerstones, Foundations of Funk offers an alternate take of "Cold Sweat" and live versions of "Licking Stick-Licking Stick" and "Mother Popcorn"--the latter achieving a meltdown that puts the Brown band on the same side of the street as Funhouse-era Stooges. Hah! --Rickey Wright

    4 out of 5 stars Good but some filler songs, too.......2007-07-18

    I was around during this time period, and saw James Brown live because he was my mother's favorite live performer. I was surprised, however, at the number of filler songs in this collection. Some remastering would have been nice, too. Standout songs that held up for me were "Out of Sight," "Money Won't Change You," "Cold Sweat," and "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing." Even though the instrumentals on "Say It Loud" sound a little stark now, I remember how I felt when I heard the song over the radio back then. It was a bold message and messenger, truly uplifting for its time.

    5 out of 5 stars REST IN PEACE, JB!!!!.......2006-12-29

    THE MAN!!!!! hell, to me, he died too soon. this collection right here is ESSENTIAL!!!! nuff said, it's DA GODFATHA NOW!!!!! rest in peace, soul brotha!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars One of the Best JB compilations.......2006-03-09

    Truly a fine compilation and very nicely packaged. I like the CD being in the sturdy(!) slip-case.

    The song choice is great. The Live Cuts are Killer. I have no regrets with this purchase!

    Of the many JB comps I own this is my 2nd favorite (In A Jungle Groove is the first!).

    5 out of 5 stars A wise investment.......2006-02-26

    Ever pay for a James Brown album and within five minutes of getting it out of the wrapper you realized you were had? Ever heard James accompanied by a Casio keyboard recorded in a broom closet? Must be bad needing a quick album release to satisy some recording contract agreement James made to get a few bucks.

    Well this is NOT one of THOSE.

    This is simply a fabulous collection of greatest recording. It demonstrates why James was considered a genius. And his band was so powerful they could blow down walls. And make you dance, Man. And smile. And get funky RIGHT NOW.

    A must for your next soul funk dance party. Put it on and EVERYBODY will get up off a that thing and bust a move. I guarantee it.

    5 out of 5 stars The Legendary JB and the Incomparable Maceo Parker, It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.......2006-02-22

    Best James Brown CD that I've heard, extended recordings of everything, which gives his legendary band (featuring the incomparable Maceo Parker and Clyde Stubblefield) a chance to shine.

    1 out of 5 stars Really, really, REALLY BAD!.......2006-11-22

    Bought and returned it with the first few minutes after sliding it into the player. The cover art is nice. As for the, um, muzak, I expected something less...fuzzy. Even the player hated it, spitting it out within seconds after tasting the first track.
    If any of the original movie scores rate 5 stars, this rates a solid 10 black holes, IMHO.

    1 out of 5 stars Deceptive Title & Trade Dress.......2006-07-27

    The title line of this product says Enya (Composer), Roma Enya / Ryan (Composer), Annie / Walsh, Fran / Shore, Howard Lennox (Composer), Howard Shore (Composer), Fran Shore Howard / Walsh (Composer). Had I read the descriptions more closely, I would have seen that the composers were listed in a way that made no sense. Rather, the list merely is composed of the names of the writers, musicians, and composers of the music in Peter Jackson's trilogy, so that someone who is familiar with the music of the trilogy would be deceived into buying this subpar and inadequate product. The trade dress is deceptive enough that it might border on trademark/trade dress infringment of the real stuff.
    If you are a fan of the LOTR soundtracks and/or Howard Shore, I would avoid this product and opt for: 1) the official soundtracks of the trilogy; and 2) The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring The Complete Recordings. Let's hope they follow up with the Two Towers and the Return of the King Complete Recordings.

    1 out of 5 stars This was a major disappointment.......2006-06-21

    Too bad I can't give this one no stars. This disk is really bad. The performance is by a bland synthesizer "orchestra" without any of the depth or emotion you can find on the movie soundtracks. I would sell this CD back to the music store where I bought it, but then somebody else might be tempted to buy it. No; this disk is headed for the trash bin.

    1 out of 5 stars Not worth your money.......2006-05-14

    Simply put, this album corrupts Howard Shore's music in the same way the ring tried to corrupt Frodo. The more you listen to it, the more you realize you should have bought the original soundtrack.

    1 out of 5 stars LOTR meets New Age.......2005-10-01

    I wish I had read the other reviews before buying. 78 minutes of meandering through (and maiming) Howard Shore's fantastic work. No focus, no edge to the playing, themes apparently put together at random. The horns are poorly synthesized and sound pretty cheezy. Spend your money on the movie soundtrack. I wish I had.

    First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.

    Anyone who has experienced the club scene (especially NYC) in the late 70's and early 80's must get this CD POST HASTE! I'm sitting here right now taking a trip down memory lane. The compilation of songs is PERFECT. That rarely happens. All of the selections are not only awesome but arranged well in their order. I seriously urge anyone who was growing up through that period (and enjoyed it) or who is curious about the club music to get this CD. Make no mistake, club/house music has a totally different flavor than your garden variety "disco".

This collection starts with a glorious, remixed version of that song and doesn't let up, launching into an impressive array of energetic trance. Bedrock doubles as the name for Digweed's U.K. club as well as the pair's label, so much of the record is given over to other like-minded DJ's and producers associated with the twosome. Each gets a chance to spin their finest wax. Danny Howells, who released a fine contribution to Global Underground's "Nu-Breed" series last year, gets his licks in early, mixing up the second track, "Repercussion" with a typically lithe touch. The great New York DJ Jimmy Van M and Austin Leeds make appearances as well, with Leeds giving a graceful feel to the second disc's more ambient leanings. --Matthew Cooke

    4 out of 5 stars Sorighty..........2005-01-07

    K well first off, I'm not the biggest Austin Leeds fan out there. I first heard a few of his tracks on the Digweed&Sasha 'Communicate' CD and I really didn't care for his tracks. So it saddens me to see Austin Leeds dominate the track listing here. All in all, the rest of the CD is good. I luv Steve Lawler and find his music reaches me. The other selected Artists are good too. And the remix of Heaven Scent is a classic as well. This compilation would have received more marks if the artist selection was more varied and also had more rare or unreleased material on here. Finally it would be nice to see John Digweed release an Artist CD as well. Oakenfold and Sasha both have there's, lets see Digweed give it a try!!

    4 out of 5 stars A solid buy for progressive DJs and hard-core Bedrock fans.......2002-12-09

    The ultra-trendy progressive house label Bedrock (founded by John Digweed) released FOUNDATIONS in 2000. This two CD collection brings together many unreleased remixes of tracks features on the label, and it's a interesting release both for DJs who want to get their hands on tracks not found anywhere else and for fans of progressive who just want to hear more of their favourite producers.

    FOUNDATIONS opens with Bedrock - "Heaven Scent (John Johnson Mix)". It's a great mix, even though "Heaven Scent" in all its forms has been played out since its appearance in 1999, this is one of this collection's more captivating tracks. The two remixes of Science Dept. tracks, "Repercussion (Funk Function's Future Mix)" and "Persuasion (Dominica Mix)" are slow, hypnotic songs that would be easy to build a set up with. Van M & Leeds - "More (Austin's Unreleased Mix)" is an idiosyncratic mix that regrettably sounds too dated for use today. Ditto for the two Moonface tracks here; "Futurised Fears" and "Overactive" were key tracks in the progressive house scene of two years ago, but now could be attacked as bog-standard progressive fodder. Disc 1 closes with Bedrock - "Voices", which is a track that I think has gotten better with age.

    The second disc of FOUNDATIONS is a bit more anthemic. It opens with Mainline - "Narcotic." Featured one Sasha and John Digweed's COMMUNICATION collaboration, this deep and organic track is so subtle that it may only work as an opening to a set, but it's fantastic nonetheless. Austin Leeds - "Force 51" is an incredible track, featuring a slow buildup to chugging synths that still refrains from being cheesy, and it is perhaps the best track on FOUNDATIONS. Leed's other track, "Moondriver", is a less anthemic track that moves along just fine. The fourth track, Steve Lawler - "Rise 'In (Nalin & Kane Vocal Mix") is the low point of this collection, as the atrocious vocals ruin what is instrumentally a solid track. Happily, FOUNDATIONS swiftly recovers with Saints & Sinners - "Pushin Too Hard (Futureshock's Confession)", an excellent remix that keeps all the catchiness of the original but is full of added surprises. Alchemy - "Bruiser (Evolution Mix)" is a wispy, ambient remix like much of Evolution's work, but with its odd tempo jumps does something new. Revolt - "Moonlit (Room Drumland Mix)" is one of Revolt's most disappointing tracks, but a DJ might find room for it at the end of a set.

    If you are just the average fan of progressive house, FOUNDATIONS isn't worth getting. This unmixed collection is really for DJs and hard-core Bedrock fans, who will find a lot to like in it.

    5 out of 5 stars Rare Grooves.......2004-10-02

    First of all, this CD is very hard to find now because it's out of print for long even though it's rather popular among collectors like me. You should buy it if you are a real disco music fan and able to find somewhere, I think. Give Your Body Up series includes many rare disco tunes, moreover, in the extended versions in most cases. But this Vol.1 is most recommendable. I like Why Leaves Us Alone and Bad For Me, both of which are exciting up-tempo disco gems and really really hard to find on any CD. The disco version of Free Man is also good.

    5 out of 5 stars CLUB CLASSIC & HOUSE FOUNDATION REVIEW.......2002-09-15

    THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES TO DATE, ALL THREE VOLUMES HAS CLASSICS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD IN YEARS. I HAVE ALL THREE AND I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH 4,5, AND 6.

    5 out of 5 stars HEY, NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!.......2002-05-25

    Great collection of dance-cuts. I have volume 1-3, and I'm glad I decided to buy them. With the exception of a couple of songs, all the jams are full-length extended versions. This is what I've been asking for all along. The average person from that era don't want alot of three-minute cuts from back in the day. Hey, we want the whole un-cut versions and this series delivers.

    Plus, while listening to it, I came across a few long-loved jams that I haven't heard in years (decades, even). For instance, as soon as I heard the song "BRA" by CYMANDE, man, I almost cried. And then there's the vocal-version of the jam, "ALWAYS THERE" by SIDE EFFECT. Man, I was looking for these cuts; in CD-format, for a long time.

    Hey, if your on a serious quest for great un-cut dance-jams from back in the day; you definitely can't go wrong with "GIVE YOUR BODY UP", it's one of the best series.

    First, get all 3 volumes, put 'em on your multi-disc cd player, then let these dancefloor gems do their thaaang... Can be played at a bbq on Memorial Day, July 4, Labour Day, etc... or while you're playing Twister (tangled up in a pretzel position while trying to grab that Bacardi & Coke that's waaaay on the other side of the mat ;) whatever... you get the idea. Your cooler friends will scream and shout when their favorite joints get those memories flooding back.

    If you are or were in my case, a serious house music aficionado, this CD is a must! If you were just a casual listener then don't buy, pick up a Donna Summer album or something to that effect. If you can identify with Womack & Womack, Weather Girls, Brothers Johnson, Roy Ayers, Sylvester, Jocelyn Brown etc. you got the right CD!!!
    This is not for "percolators", Old School Rockers only!

    Now if you grew up in Jersey especially North and Central Jersey you know that we love underground club classic hits one song you will always hear if you are drving around Newark is BABY I'M SCARED OF YOU by WOMACK AND WOMACK reminds me of my childhood and watching your parents dance in the basement parties when the kids were supposed to be sleeping Great memories!

    2 out of 5 stars Save your money.......2003-02-24

    Touch and Go and Love is The Message was the only reason to give the cd 2 stars, it is really not worth buying maybe you can find other cd's w/ above listed songs w/ better choices.

    3 out of 5 stars A Thoughtful Series.......2001-09-08

    Give Your Body Up is an interesting collection of discs. It achieves its aim of preserving foundational songs essential to the progression of modern dance club music. The discs contain rareties that are difficult to find elsewhere. Each disc in the series, this one in particular, may cover too much ground and have too much variety. There was a good bit of difference stylistically between the Philly Sound and string/horn drenched dance music of the 70's on the one hand and the synth-based, drum machine sound of the early and mid 80's on the other. Both decades are intermixed, not in chronological order. So we find the organic, gospel-inflected "Over and Over" next to the electronic "BRA," the orchestral "Love Is The Message" alongside the reggae-laced "Now That We've Found Love." As a source for songs, however, this series is definitely different from those "Disco" sets that focus on radio hits.

    This is the earth shattering real deal True revolution ROCK!!Powerful,tight,mindblowing.You must get these versions of these songs.It gave me a new perspective on the band when it came out.

    4 out of 5 stars Don't Pass Up the '5.......2006-04-16

    Can you live without this CD? Yeah, if you own all their "officially" recorded output, maybe. And even if you do, this is still a great alternative to what the record companies thought was acceptable at the time. The MC5 were, and are, the bridge to '60's high energy politicized rock and punk. They were the Beatles of their age, and every bit as important as the Velvet Underground and the Stooges. Fred "Sonic" Smith is gone. Rob Tyner is gone. But what the MC5 brought in their wake is with us every day of the week.

    5 out of 5 stars Early Heavy.......2006-04-08

    The MC-5 [Motor City Five] was the real deal. The electricity rips through these recordings, opening you up to a new understanding of "rock music". Of course, the blues influence is also here as in all great rock music. Distortion guitar at it's primal majesty. Real vocals that meant something then, though the message may be a bit dated today. Also, try Iggy and the Stooges for a taste of what real rock music is all about.

    4 out of 5 stars MC 5 - 'Babes In Arms' (Roir).......2003-12-08

    This fifteen track disc is a nifty collection of remixes,demos,
    and uncensored edits from MC 5's lead guitarist Wayne Kramer's
    own private vault. All these cuts were recorded from 1966-71.
    Their other guitarist was the late Fred 'Sonic' Smith, who sings
    lead on the pleasant-souding "Shaking Street".I sincerely hope
    that my copy doesn't wear out 'cause I tend to play it quite
    often.Simply love the TOTALLY ripping uncensored "Kick Out The
    Jams....Mutha.......".
    Vocalist Rob Tyner sounds like he's having the time of his life.
    Also enjoyed the wailing guitar line on "Gold" and not to
    mention their moving cover of Van Morrison's "I Can Only Give
    You Everything". The final two songs are the best this CD has
    to offer,"I Just Don't Know" and "Looking At You" are early
    numbers the band played when they FIRST formed.Only down side
    is that since Smith is gone and Tyner has passed on as well
    means that there can never be a true MC 5 reunion. Great sound.

    4 out of 5 stars i gotta keep it up cause im a natural man, im a born hell .........2003-07-28

    for a band that was outlawed , disbanded due to content censorship and had wayne kramer locked up,,, its difficult to
    criticize them: needless to say ,some of their songs are tremendous, not the least kick out the jams,,,, they were expected to fit into a music industry that they were at odds with,,,, especially with the white power and chicago demonstration karma of 1968. still,,, great music,,,, kick out the jams is still my choice instead of this,but the change to atlantic from electra had its downside as well.... glad they are getting the recognition they so much deserve, rob tyner died some time back,,,, a great stage show and is often selected with iggy as the earliest and best of raw punk
