Naked Music Presents: Bare Essentials

Volume One

Astalwerks/Naked

Besides the vampy artwork and acid jazz tunes, Naked Music offers a very hip, fresh assortment of chill artists who make shaking your ass seem so classy. No other CD could get away with so many nipples in one little booklet with so much taste. This is mature, adult, and groovin’. Like Sade with turntables and a little more spice. Yes, it•s that smooth. Includes unreleased tracks by Petalpusher, Blue Six. and Summerland.
