With significant help from bass-playing brother Thomas "Bubz" Fiddler (another member of the extended P-Funk mob), Amp released With Respect on Elektra in 1990 as Mr. Fiddler. Although the record didn't fare intimately commercially, it was a solid update of '70s blue funk with advanced production sensibilities. In 2002, Amp issued a 12" called Basementality on the Genuine tag. Featuring a remix from close associate Kenny Dixon, Jr. (aka Moodymann), the record was an even split between mod psyche and smelly baseball club music with Fiddler's talents boldly displayed. The Love and War individual came out the following year, and the uncut Valse of a Ghetto Fly saw release in January 2004. Another solo record album, Afro hairdo Strut, was released in the U.K. in 2006; Play It Again Sam licensed it for U.S. acquittance a year later.
