10. Curtis MayfieldSuperfly
This is so infectious and it’s ambitious with the orchestration. It uses so many sucker moves and it’s quite intellectual music. It captures a lot of emotions and nuances but at the same time it’s really got the funk. It’s so clever.
It’s funny; you listen to Nick Cave’s current music and that’s where he’s at, in a sense. He’s close to those kind of guys. It’s got a groove to it but it also has a real Cinemascope feel to it. Push The Sky Away has a real Isaac Hayes feel to it. I like music where you get a massive picture in your head. My two tests for music is that it’s got to have a groove and it’s got to put pictures in your head.
