Posted June 23, 201014 yr Could this be the next big thing? Totally knocked me for a six did this, new to my ears and hit me like a big massive hitty thing! Is this a Modern classic? A cross over sound, a Latin dancer? I don't care but I'd love to do my thing to it! Does any body play it???????? Will I hear this out? Bids? Views on hearing new stuff????
June 24, 201014 yr Always like Bataan stuff, pleasing to see this album released not so long ago. Might hunt one down and give it a spin at our night. RE your question about new stuff being played Simon; whether it's a new release (modern or old sounding), or whether it's a new discovery, i aint really that fussed...........if it's GOOD ENOUGH, then play it. Azza
June 24, 201014 yr Came out on a 7'' in 2004. Got a feeling it's a Spanish release? Not sure.. Would like one myself!

June 29, 201014 yr That was average not really bad or really good. sounds like some 70's sitcom theme tune in parts like robins nest

July 4, 201014 yr Simon, that's a lovely song! I'm a massive Latin fan and this one, although not my beloved 60s has a really Summery and fresh sound - thumbs up from me

Played this at Cafe quite a bit, great mover and always has dancefloor buzzing. Quite a lot of latin is popular at mo.
August 1, 201014 yr For anyone who's interested, Joe Bataan is playing the Goodwood festival on Saturday 14th August, 2010.

Caz Hi Caz I always thought you liked latino stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu-LzmHrrHU Edited August 1, 201014 yr by NEV
August 1, 201014 yr Back to labelling and classifying musical sounds, is not always easy or unique as it sounds. Cycles Of You - features a simple 2/3 bar guitar riff, ham organ overtones, single only male soul vocals featuring no backing group vocals throughout. A lightweight brass section break with bongo drums. The arrangement features several quick turn "selected" tempo uplifts, its a soul record, with little latin content, this could be 1976 common sounding soul arrangement.. Compared to Subway by Joe on Fania that is a solid latin influenced with Salsa/Calypso overtones, yet his penned entitled -" Latin Strut" on Mericanna is labelled as Funk , when its an flute fuelled drenched fucking supermarket tune. Strange but lets not dismiss JB and great to see its acceptance on here. Keep on playing among yourselves - nicely chaps. Edited August 1, 201014 yr by Nick Harrison
August 1, 201014 yr Love it but then again I love loads of Joe's stuff. Same here... Wouldn't mind if this one got played out more!
August 1, 201014 yr Simon I take back all that I said to you at the services this morning I actually quite like this !!!!! See you soon mate ATB Steve
