A Next Set
A Rockers
2000 Black
Third Ear
Major labels make it painless for fans to buy their wares anywhere in any format. Wanna download? iTunes and Amazon are primed to take your cash. Prefer a CD? You can buy one while doing your weekly shop at Walmart. But in the case of Dego and Kaidi's new album, punters will suffer; A Next Set A Rockers is destined for Japan only. With an import price close to £30, few outside Asia will hear the silky funk of So Right, Ty's rap on Hey There, or the infectiously bouncy If You Got 3 Wishes. More familiar are Don't Make Me Hurt You, Got Me Puzzled and Dealt A Bad Hand — superb tracks that have been a staple of DJ sets for yonks. The popularity of these songs has led to A Next Set A Rockers receiving praise from fans of Silhouette Brown and 4hero; it's a shame, then, that only a minority will own it
Note: Thankfully, this album is more widely available now
