The expression 'ground breaking' is a little overused but Planet Rock by Africabambata is the definitive record of it time.
Looking for the perfect beat should be easy to find on compilations and there is a 'best of' aswell..
Tapes? Cortina? 80's Electro? You dont have blond highlights and an earring aswell do you?

I agree with Gary and i think Afrika Bambaata is an absolute ledgend and is a Hip Hop God whom without Hip Hop might not have been as brilliant as it was. There is a CD that will cover all your needs and is called PLANET ROCK and is on the TOMMY BOY label and has all of the hits on it and sells for around �12.99 im not sure if you would find it in HMV etc but Juno Records on-line stock it. Glad you like some of the classic electro stuff my favourite is Planet Patrol's - Play at your Own risk - Excellent tune!! Good luck with that!

Try to track down 'World Destruction' by 'Time Zone' - Its only a 7'' vinyl record,but that was a very under rated track,and that featured Afrika Bambataa and John Lydon ! Interesting combination.

Is this the same Timezone who did Wildstyle? When did that get released then as John Lydon was involved was it quite recent?
