various / cosmic car records - Flash Your Lights: The Music of the Electrifying Mojo

**Jeez, Includes Ron Hardy edit of Prince 'Traffic Jam' - honestly!** Ohhh... 'Flash Your Lights' is a vital collection of edits and original tracks deployed from the mothership of legendary Detroit radio jock, Electrifying Mojo. Quite simply, this guy was the biggest influence on Detroit's music scene of the '80s, bar none (well maybe the Roland corporation are a close 2nd). His Midnight Funk Association shows on WJLB broadcast the widest mix of up-to-date electronic music from YMO to Philip Glass and Depeche Mode, sandwiched between Funk, Soul and Disco music, and would give the likes of Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills (aka The Wizard in those days) and Derrick May their first plays on radio, besides an invaluable, foundational lesson in all that's right and good, musically speaking. The collection includes (besides others), a dynamite Ron Hardy edit of Prince's 'Traffic Jam', Capricorn 'I Need love' (instrumental mix), 'B52's 'Planet Claire', A Number Of Names 'Skitso' re-edit, Fiona Franklyn 'Busted Up On Love', and Flying Lizards' 'Steam Away'. Just unmissable, really.
