"True Funk Soul-diers" around the world have come together once again bringing you cuts strait from source: Out of home studios across the globe. The Funk Wonder From Down Under kicks off Project II, as Pilot Beacon takes the cyber-stage bringing forth a "New Dimension" in what we hope will set new ground in online music communities. Now this girl just has it going on. All that and drop dead beautiful. Up next is the multi-instrumentalist Joseff s'Aint Joseph. What can I say about this guy? I got this cat's CDs in the mail months ago and they have not left my stereo since. It just goes to show that truth is "Thicker Than Blood" when Rock, R&B and Funk Collide as Olio asks the colorful question "Why are music styles defined by race?" Frank (The Axe Man) Axtell takes us back to school with some awesome guitar work. A master of his craft, he proves that he can reveal an entire story of deep emotion through his musicianship without a single lyric. Jshua takes us back to a familiar sound of blues long lost in "The 4th Dimension" while Kevin Schafer proves that there ain't nothin' wrong with a little pork in your diet with "Bacon Tastes Good". Sleepeater wakes you up with a mouthful of grooves surly to wet your appetite for something sweet from Fuzztone's "Candy Store"- not even Move GA*GA's "High Steppin' Lady" would refuse. You'll be up late with Izaiah's "Night of the Club" shakin' whatever ya momma gave ya but don't worry, "You Will Never Walk Alone" because the coolest cats from Brazil will be there to escort you home, where waiting upstairs is Marc Deon, with his vocal-effect driven number that will make you go "Ga Ga" all the way through morning as you climb aboard the "747: Flight of Passage", taking you to the "Kingdom" where Da Silva will make you want to hit that "repeat" button a few times. Project I was a tremendous success in bringing together some of the most talented group of individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. With all the attention the NFO got, Project II has definitely raised the bar. Truly world class. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you.. Project II. -"The NFO Guy"

Story behind the song
While making a living playing different instruments for local bands in Chicago, Singer\Songwriter Joseph McNeil received a phone call from a cousin in Minneapolis asking him to join Sony/Epic recording artist Alexander O’Neal’s touring band as a guitarist. Although never having been with an international act before, he quickly learned the rigors and joys of being involved in a professional production. While living in Minneapolis, Joseph also met and began working with one of Prince’s musical protégée’ Tony Le Mans. Joseph and Tony discovered they had similar musical influences as well as writing styles. This led to writing and production collaboration for a Minneapolis based band Joseph subsequently joined called “Pink Cabaret”. With encouragement and influence from Tony, Joseph returned to Chicago to write and record songs for his own project “JOseff s’Aint Joseph. While in Chicago, Joseph was summoned yet again back to Minneapolis to do three days of recording at Paisley Park studios with the band “Hot Sauce”. This band can be seen briefly in the movie Graffiti Bridge as George Clinton’s backing band. Though asked to appear in the movie, Joseph declined. Back in Chicago, good reviews from music publications and local approval prompted Joseph to put a band together and launch a short tour that was well received. Joseph’s songs, some of which speak of social and political issues, fuse Blues, Funk and, Rock together while also bridging the musical gap between Baby Boomers and today’s youth. When asked to describe his music, he calls it P.S.R. or, ”Psychedelic Soul Raw’. College Music Journal however describes it as being reminiscent of sixty’s rockers “Sly and the Family Stone”. Though Sly and the Family Stone of the sixty’s it may not be, it is JOseff s’Aint Joseph of today!
