Hi Jas! M+M are one of my faves from the 80s. "Cooling The Medium" was a single but you don't hear it much any more. Lots of deeper album cuts that I should play, too...

Ben i think we should do M& M feature on HF! I actually just ran into James Erdeg taking pics in the street (who is back in ottawa from Toronto ) who is a megafan of MM too

Oh and Jas re: MC Solaar, check the sample source from Serge Gainsbourg et Brigitte Bardot "Bonnie and Clyde". Great video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa7wjr1NwhA
