“An interview-based documentary on the life, work and far reaching influence of Melvin Bliss – the singer whose early 70s song “Synthetic Substitution” is one of the most sampled tracks ever! The funky drums in that song became the bedrock of many a hip hop classic in the 80s and 90s – and in the interview for this documentary, we’re getting to see for the first time ever how clearly proud he is of the lasting influence the song still enjoys – and how long it took for him to even know how important his song became. It’s really strange that Melvin remained largely unknown all this time and until he passed away in 2010. The DVD features a long interview with Melvin who tells his life story in his own words. Includes appearances by Mel Jr, Ced Gee, Chuck D, Easy Mo Bee, DJ Scratch and others”
