I've always been a big fan of Herbie. "Rockit" was one of the first singles I ever bought.
For me though, the real magic was discovering "Mwandishi", "Crossings" and the mighty "Sextant" real avant-garde electronic / jazz crossover and totally different from the stuff that he did with "Headhunters" onwards.
Oh yes. If you have a copy of "Sound System" (the excellent follow up to "Future Shock") and play "Metal Beat", has anyone else noticed a lot of the track is a cut up of Yes' "Leave It" from "90125"?
