{"product_id":"vinyl-jesse-rae-almost-ma-sel-again-vinyl-12-vinyl","title":"Almost Ma Sel Again (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJesse Rae: anachronist Celtic funk warrior, renegade pioneer of funk, soul \u0026amp; dub (collaborating with Parliament, Funkadelic, Adrian Sherwood, Roger Troutman \u0026amp; the Sugarhill Gang); mad pedestrian-punk-poet, steeped so much in his own mythology he exists not only outside of time but in a universe of his own making; three time runner as an independent electoral candidate for Scottish Parliament, kitted-out as ever in ever in his Scots regal (kilt, helmet and claymore); the original trailblazer of the MTV Age (see 1985 music video ‘Over the Sea’, shot on top of the Brooklyn Bridge - aye, you read that correctly). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg folks. The Real McCoy. Prince of Scotland, king of hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAppearing on wax for the first time, three cuts from the world's first ISDN virtual album, Jesse Rae’s seminal ‘Compression’ (CD) - which first dropped on Echo Beach in 1995. ‘Almost Ma Sel Again’ - a Scottish Burns-Funk classic intercut with a reading of Nigel Tranter’s The Wallace, a breathtaking (de)construction of emotional-electronic-free-funk; as deep as the heart that reaps it. ‘Virtual U’ - a mad cut of downtempo Scot\/US G-Funk cum hip-hop interposed with answering machine messages from New Jersey’s own Bernie Worrell. ‘Switch Tae U’ - an orchestral and sublime bit of downtown house music. And of course, joining these three is a re-mastered cut of Jesse Rae’s 1982 cult classic ‘Rusha’ - a tripped out slab of linguistic psychedelia.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere we have it then: real shit indeed! Jesse Rae on Pace Yourself folks. For the already initiated and first timers, welcome to the Caledonian wormhole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHYTHM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40428930040009,"sku":"481486","price":53.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/481486-Product-0-I-639207185402187519.jpg?v=1785121806","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/vinyl-jesse-rae-almost-ma-sel-again-vinyl-12-vinyl","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
