Although this group is long defunct, its one major recording will be fondly remembered for years--if not decades--to come. The Heroes consisted of rapper Michael Franti and percussionist Ron Tse; together, the San Francisco Bay area-based duo created a biting, politically savvy record that touched on both personal vulnerability and governmental venality. Franti used the microphone to preach about injustice, homophobia, materialism, and apathy. Although Public Enemy had long before established hip-hop's political potential, they never quite attained Franti's ability to translate black rage into universal themes. In the Heroes' best number, "Television, the Drug of the Nation," Franti raps, "Imagination is sucked out of our children by a cathode ray nipple / Television is the only wet-nurse that would create a cripple." Unfortunately, after extensive touring, the pair went their separate ways, Tse to a variety of solo projects and Franti to Spearhead.--Martin Johnson

Dimitri From Paris - Cruising Attitude [2004]
French dance music has always looked on the sunnier side of life, in particular the jazz-inflected house of artists such as St Germain. Dimitri From Paris also aspires to that school of thought.The style is predominantly jazzy, with more nods to the lounge than the dancefloor. Okinawa Love, featuring Kisen Horino, is a gorgeously paced, piano led track with an airy theme. Live Jazz is just that, some evocative brush strokes moving into a deep house beat and subtle piano - very St Germain. The feathery voice of Victor Davies adds some soul to This Is Your Life, one of the stronger vocal tracks, while the most daring departure is in Le Soundtrack, introduced by timpani and given a wordless, Goldfrapp-style wail over the top, most effective.DJ Dynamo Dimitri still brings you stellar lounge sounds and an overall feel of being in another country sippin' on Martinis and soakin' up the sun. This CD "takes flight" with its impressive line-up of vocalists and dreamy cinematic orchestrations.
