So I've been on a Fugees binge since yesterday morning.
The Score is their best record, and is in my Top 50, but the one I that I often turn to for a fix of that great Fugee hiphop/reggae mix is the remix record that came out in the fall of 1996, about six months after The Score.
It's called Fugees (Refugee Camp) Bootleg Version, and I love it.
In particular, the last two songs, No Woman No Cry and Vocab Remix, are awesome.
Fred - I read your blogs (all of them) and try to listen to your sunday podcasts, etc. On the same wavelength musically, live in Bridgehampton, the company I worked for in Prague (called Oskar recently purchased by Vodafone)had JP Morgan as major investors (so know maybe some of the folks you know...jonathan meggs, mike hannon, dana ardi??) I met with Matt from Return Path last year and just recently wrote a blog about him and company...http://blogs.bnet.com/hr/?p=119...(I've seen you write about him too...)
Anyway, it just seems there are some interesting degrees of separation...Thanks for the Fugees tip.

An even better old Fugees remix in my opinion is the Refugees On the Mic remix which was from the Vocab CD single.
The original song was on their 1st album and was totally unremarkable. The remix has a euphoric old school feel - great stuff. I used to play it all the time in 94.

By the way I may be the only reader of your blog who also runs a hiphop webzine.

Wow. That brings me back.
I'm reading a VC blog and the Fugees come up...yeah, I'm definitely of the mind that this is a better time to be following business news than ten years ago...
