Review: Compared to the freeform styles of the Leave Talking 10", the star spot on Rocket Juice & The Moon's "Manuela" by Erykah Badu drives the free-flowing funk of the supergroup (made up of Damon Albarn, Flea and Tony Allen) into a cheeky and mildly dubby pop nugget with a shuffly rhythm to it. Badu is on fine form as ever, lending her coolly delivered-tones to the stripped down track in that disarmingly natural way of hers. Mark Ernestus gets drafted in for a dub version which may surprise his fans as the original remains thoroughly intact, especially in terms of the drums, instead focusing on the freeform synth warbles to provide the centre-point of the track.

Review: Slipping out incongruously on Honest Jon's without any forewarning, you might mistake Rocket Juice & The Moon's loose, jam-fuelled funk for any number of unearthed rarities from around the world. The fact that Damon Albarn, Flea and Tony Allen are in fact responsible pleasingly makes no odds when it comes to enjoying these three tasters from the album. There's a strong focus on keeping the recording raw and live, as Allen's drums sit tangibly close in the mix while while Flea's bass lines are pointedly simplistic compared to the flair for which he's known. For all the bombast the participants may be known for, these are just great unwound grooves of a simple nature.
