Odyssey - Our Lives are shaped by what we love

[Shaolin913]

Our Lives are shaped by what we love ........... and who. True ?

[bourgeoisdork]

This was sampled on Joss Stone's "Super Duper Love" as well.

[Snizmark]

This songs the truth

[sergeypikalov]

Cyne - Tide of Life sampled this as well.



[ROoooo80]

classy album and Lp cover

[twattyplaps]

odyssey were never a cheesy band

[hooooopscoooop]

they sampled another rare oldie song same beat!

[Blablooblaa]

Awesome song.

[Hermeto77]

great song! love it! thanks for upload

[sighertrc]

great lp with 3 good tracks, was a good spin for giles peterson and the soulfull crowd buying records around londons soho in the ealy 90's...kev beadle, giles, pat forge, etc.......loved this track, now the northern crossover boys latched on to "battened ships" thats what music is about, ready to school even the hardest of collectors with records they never had or missed, plenty more out there!!!

[crojinzer]

what is the name of this LP??

[incrediblecHiller]

@crojinzer also "Odyssey"...

[texas76132]

You can buy the cd on Amazon.com. The cd is called "Mr Scruff Big Chill Classics." It is track #21. Unfortunately, it is not on the mp3 version

[thinkdeepr]

I love you for posting this song, this is the only place I can hear it! How sad is this world that it didn't even make it to limewire, or the iTunes store. (Apple -- You SUCK)

Thanks Hiller

[benreilly313]

@thinkdeepr

you can find it on Mr scruffs - big chill album :)

[benreilly313]

@thinkdeepr

you can find it on "Mr Scruffs - big chill" album :)

[9nemesis9]

Outrageously brilliant, thanks for posting!!!

[JimmyMVideoJukebox]

both odyssey's were good. "cheesy disco band" the other was not. if you actually heard their lp's, you wouldn't be saying that.

[garyn1953]

I was turned on to this by Amy Goodman and Democracy NOW! It was played during break this past during one of their newscasts. I'm pleased to learn of the connection to Haiti. 'Our are shaped by what we love'. :-D I bet Randall Robinson turned Amy onto this song.

[Apsu72]

Good post IncrediblecHiller. That'll be enough criticism about Odyssey the disco group. I Love Native New Yorker

[isaiah6ft2]

I think this song was written by the son of the famous Pan Africanist CLR James, author of The Black Jacobins, the classic account of the Haitian Revolution.

As a child he was "Nobby" and the children's stories written to him by his father who next to W.E.B. Du Bois the the pillar of the Black radical tradition are now published as "The Nobby Stories for Children and Adults"

[AkitoJr]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

HIP HOP SAMPLE FOUND!!!

it took me a while to figure it out.

the intro from this song was used on

Lil 1/2 Dead's "East side, West side"(1994)

wow talk about obscure LOL

thanx.

[Morg206]

hahaha damn man. i randomly clicked this video and like 2 seconds in i shouted "LIL HALF DEAD" then i read your comment. what a dope sample

[AkitoJr]

thank u

it is hard to believe lil 1/2 dead's debut album came out 15 years ago

man how time flies

[flavadaveflynn9]

@AkitoJr also cyne- Tide of life

[w11ll11am]

amazing!

[eamcas67]

After hearing this for the first time last week I have not been able to get the tune out of my head.

I spent a whole day trying to track it down to no avail.I finally came across a reference to this track being on a compilation Mojo Club presents Volume 3 and was fuming.

I have had that vinyl since it came out years ago and never played this track, assuming it was the camp Odyssey.

What a dick.

[drgonzo89]

0wn3d!

[birdmanbenjibeat]

@eamcas67 well all do that and forget the belters we have in our record collection!! I always back track into my vinyl and find goodies I forgot about or ignored at the time!!

[Bizarronumber4]

Great song. It would be nice if the album got released on cd.

[drgonzo89]

i wish i could find this on vinyl.

[BraveUlysses01]

I live near Leeds at the moment!

This is an amazing song, I love it so much.

[esmereldatitswallop]

Brilliant track, great post!

[TONIO2K8]

wow another one!!! love this thanks for some great music!!!!

[alsetalokin]

sometimes i wish i were born in the 50's so i could have grown up listening to this music when it actually came out

[skoskate]

[JABFAN64]

[Grreystoke]

Heard this first time on one Cosmo Baker mixtape... incredible tune!

[adrianfisher]

Spooky! Someone just sent me the album on CD-R and I'm playing it right now!

[Justbleazy]

Wow!!! Can you mp3 that CD to me?? I love the their guitars in their songs and can't find any of their songs to save my life.

[TucsonLuni520]

if there is anyway you can get this to me on mp3 i would greatly appreciate it!

[gathage]

OMG this is odyssey!?! ooooh it all makes so much sense now!
