Fugi Red Moon Grand Junction

I recently decided to pick up Fugi's Funky Delicacies CD "Mary, Don't Take Me On No Bad Trip" because I discovered that the CD contained an unissued track in "Jo-Jo" and alternative take of his Cadet 45 "Revelations". The other advantage is that the tracks have had their Parts 1&2 mixed together which turns sides like "Red Moon" into mega opuses! So though having the 45's it was good listening to have them all linked together because they sound much more powerful mixed together.

There are also informative liner notes about Fugi outlining his personal life messed up by heroin addiction and background on the recording of the tracks. There is a great story about the writing of "Red Moon" which was created while driving around a polluted Detroit high on drugs which created the vision of the song's title.

Released back in 2004 but still available and don't miss it because there are some fabulous "in dangerous rhythms" on the CD.
