ohh, I got some other night slugs stuff that kills (Mosca's SQUARE ONE was on constant play a few months back), but haven't heard that comp. Getting it right now, you've been dead-on with your reccomendations so I pretty much always stop everything to check out whatever you throw my way.. Really appreciate it, dude.
Hey foix, I've asked before, but where do you find your music?! I check out RESIDENT ADVISOR about once a month, I don't always agree with their reviews, the actual opinions expressed in them, but their reviews are well written and articulate enough to at least describe the stuff I'm going to hear. So I check them out just to see if there's anything interesting.
BTW, this terror danjah album "undeniable" strikes again, as far as "albums with vocals" go. I really really really don't like just about any of the vocals on the album (lots of poor rapping, like The Streets but even more arhythmic and downright boring), but the MUSIC is so goddamned brilliant. Vocals only take up about 18 minutes of the album, but the vocal songs are the longest on the album. I just flat-out don't understand why these brilliant musicians feel the need to get every random rapper they're friends with, awkwardly and arhythmically "rap" over top of their brilliant compositions. There are plenty of inventive and interesting things a good producer can do with vocals; hell, take a few lines out and make 'em a hook, have 'em repeat a bunch, fuck with them until they're unrecognizable... you could make a guy's vocals so chopped up and insane that it matches the beat perfectly... "yo yo yo hello hello got multiple tongues so you don't know where to look this ain't no 4/4 don't listen for da hook yo" you know? But instead of it going from there, cut up the yo yos and make em wonky as fukk, have the "4/4" line cleverly stutter on an actual 4/4 beat and then break apart, maybe overdub yourself going "5/4" and then "7/4" as the music breaks apart. I dunno, I get little ideas all the time of weird shit to do, I just don't understand how music can be so intelligent and intricate but then you got some guy performing vocal disarhea on the mic.
Anyway thanks for the reccomends, FXXXX!
