GIL SCOTT-HERON Secrets (2009 issue UK 9-track digitally remastered CD album - Gil Scott-Heron is justifiably recognised as one of the most unique black music artists of all time. His music transgresses all musical barriers in the same way that Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye did. Along with his song writing partner, MD and co-producer Brian Jackson, he recorded some of the most memorable songs of the 1970's, songs which combined a message with powerful rhythms. 'Secrets', their 1978 album continues the journey started on the 'Bridges' album. 'Angel Dust' warns of the dangers of drug abuse; 'Show Bizness' is an hilarious look at the perils of the music business, whilst 'Madison Avenue' talks of the over commercialisation of western society. 'Better Days Ahead' and 'Prayer For Everybody' see Gil in a more optimistic light hoping for a better future, which are especially relevant today)
