Restless Waves Lyrics/Music Jean-Paul Bourelly Nu Breed Publishing Released: Jean-Paul Bourelly and the BluWave Bandits Blackadelic Blu (DIW) 1993 Everybody feels a new one come in round the corner Feel through your bones in your heart so strong Gonna blow away the old dusty mold and bring the new one one Bring the new one on Everybody feels a new wave Some feel It good Some shy away Afraid to loose what they got to the new age The New Age Feel a big wind coming round the corner Its gonna knock up down, Its coming near (its gonna shake u round) Some feel it good some shy away With caution or fear caution or fear caution or fear Cause You can’t control the restless waves You can’t control people when they’re restless You can’t control the restless waves You can’t control the restless I feel uneasy I feel bad In my heart and my brain For all those lost soul Exploited for years on the trail of tears With love do I pave the trail Big wing coming round the corner Its gonna knock you down Its coming near Some feel it good some shy away But the trepidation is predictable You can’t control the restless waves You can’t control the restless You can’t control an Uzi when it makes a restless waves A Tech 9 will hit you from behind Before I can reach my prime You can’t control the restless

about

Blackadelic-Blu was conceived during a time when Jean-Paul Bourelly was throughly entrenched in an urban sound influenced by his clubs of downtown New York in the early 90's. It was a sound that merged Chicago blues roots with rap aesthetic.
Bourelly implements some of his favorite psychedelic colorations coupled with tight grooves heard on previous releases like Trippin and Saints and Sinners with a selection of songs that make the blues at home in this east cost urban context.

What comes out is an omni force in Black music. Bourelly's penchant for walking the tight rope between established genre's are eclipse only by his ability to transform what starts as a tight musical premise into something wide and original.
"Steppin on the Giant" a song of defiance about facing the challenges of finding ones way as the corporate monster looms, is a great example of jazzy funk that on further reflection is quite something "other": "as I walk through that cold New York city street, I'll be steppin on the giants feet" goes one phrase. "Thinkin bout money" with its dusty, echoey guitar and "Travelin Across the Land" (produced by Djinji Brown ) feature rapper Asheru of the Unspoken Heard appearing on Blackadelica as Blue Black. His confident, matter of fact delivery of the text complete this other worldly urban package.

Bourelly's guitar does unleash more of his virtuoso-ish fire power on track like "Restless Wave" which ends in an eerie sanctified vamp out reminiscent of another favorite blues with a cathartic swell, Blues for Muddy (Saints and Sinners DIW 1993)
