<\/a>I apologize to FMB’s five fans—I’ve slacked off the last few weeks. But 2010 music is rolling out, and lots of it is good, so I’m going to try to be more regular about it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I don’t know much about Chris Joss beyond the fact that he’s a French producer that specializes in retro funk filtered through a turntable mentality. I do know that his new album—Chris Joss Presents Monomaniacs Volume 1<\/a>, slated for release on Monday—is just what I needed today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Monomaniac” is right: it’s basically 40 straight minutes of wordless ‘70s cop show soundtrack. No, wait, more like a ‘70s porno, the first scene, where a comely lady is pulled over by a state trooper with a large mustache—the soundtrack for that. You don’t want this stuff in overly large doses, but 40 minutes is about right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This song—“Backbeating”—should give you the idea.<\/p>\n
