i didn't know that
this is a really interesting and great review. the reviewer did their homework!
i'd love to be able to find that early cassette version of Future Rhythm that Digital released before the actual album.
it also makes sense why this album was so good, reading this part of the review:
"Shock G found himself rejuvenated while putting together
Future Rhythm. “
t was fun because D.U. had that creative freedom of no longer being on Tommy Boy,” he added. “I could experiment again and I was back to having fun recording like I was before the music industry.”
this last line of the review sums it up perfectly too
"Like all great artists that seek to “reinvent” themselves, Digital Underground found a way to do so while still making an album that could have only been recorded by them. Future Rhythm is as convincing a testament to the genius of the late Shock G and the rest of the members of the group as their “golden age” material. The album continued to make the group’s funk, and legend, grow even stronger."
