What you need to know:
Carbon/Silicon is the new project of Mick Jones (the Clash, Big Audio Dynamite) and Tony James (Generation X, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, the Sisters of Mercy) and as you'd imagine, it's rather good.
The whole Baile Funk phenomenon is fairly fascinating and worth a Google search or two.
In the excellent Clash documentary film Westway to the World, the band's final album, Cut the Crap, isn't even mentioned. There's a good reason for this.
Vinyl sounds better than CDs. It's a fact.
