Also what purports to be a tracklisting:
01 “Bamboo Banga” 02 “Bird Flu” 03 “Boyz” 04 “Jimmy” 05 “Hussel [ft. Afrikan Boy]” 06 “Mango Pickle Down River [ft. the Wilcannia Mob]” 07 “20 Dollar” 08 “World Town” 09 “The Turn” 10 “XR2″ 11 “Paper Planes” 12 “Come Around [ft. Timbaland]”
Yeah, 6 sounds like a joke title to me too.

i like 'Come Around', esp. her "dundadadun"isms and that menacing synth bass sound that drifts in towards the end.
― blueski, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 00:08 (sixteen years ago) link
no, wilcannia mob are this actual aussie rap crew who had a song called 'downriver', which i guess is gonna be that. (it sampled a digeridoo! it sucked! thanks minna!)
i can't BELIEVE they put afrikan boy on there as well. afrikan boy is this not-even-one-hit-wonder grime guy who raps normal over kanye instrumentals except for this one tune where he done a comedy african voice all about "one day i went to lidl, went to shoplift in lidl". all the supersuper mag type fashion hipsters mustve glommed onto it since.
is everyone gonna let tim get away with that dreaming comparison unmolested? altho actually, if mia ends up busting a mock aussie flow on track 6 he'll be scarily otm...

Ha ha I wasn't saying those tracks were as good as "The Dreaming" or that MIA was using a dodgy cockney-Australian accent (I love this accent even though it only exists in films and that one Simpsons episode). But tell me that the chorus to "Boys" doesn't sound quite similar to Kate's "SEE THE LIGHTS RAM THROUGH THE GAPS IN THE LAND" vocals.

not a crew, just some pre-teen country-town kids - none of them had ever rapped before or really had any interest in music, they recorded the one song on the prompting of Morganics, a dude who does lots of community outreach social work theatre activism grant money type stuff. Just this week he's released an album he produced for three homeless Tanzanian brothers.
anyway Diplo went and did some outback outreach work type stuff when he was in .au in February, this is likely a result of that.

haha yeah i knew what u meant tim. and i just listened, and cannot disagree. 'sat in your laps' jungle drumz and proto-pharrell shoulder pops could fit too, if pressed.
i do like 'boyz' as it goes, but mia doesnt feel like the main attraction there. would repeat the old "it's the best basement jaxx in a bit" if it wasnt for the fact that the actual new bjaxx ep is some fucking amazing ruff oldskool hotness!

i got to hear the whole album today. Definitely not what I expected, and I mean that in a good way.
Darker and weirder than Argula, much much weirder. There is no obvious 'hit' that i could detect, but it's certainly an inventive album. Most of the vocals are reverbed, delayed, chopped to hell and the beats are like a chunky stew. I was actually getting pleasantly uptight in the listening room until Jimmy which is this lite disco house thing. Quite jarring in context.
She does a lot of singing of other tunes within her own. Entire versus of "Road Runner" and "Where is MY Mind."
Runs out of steam before the end, and they're squeezing a TImbaland track just to keep the US market happy (it's weak), but still and album I really want to hear again. HOpe it leaks before the end of summer.
Album kinda runs
― yussel, Friday, 6 July 2007 07:55 (sixteen years ago) link
it's not weak! love that tune! is it really on the album though? wow. wonder why it didn't end up on the timbatots record? lite disco house? i'll buy that.

All albums should come with a release date and a le4k date. Just to save me the trouble of looking for this once a week...
― avonhun, Friday, 13 July 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Wikipedia entries on recent albums tend to be really specific about what date it leaked to the internet, so there's that.
It's kinda depressing that Blaq Starr reportedly produced a song on this record, dude is a genius and deserves better.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 July 2007 19:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Deserves better than being on one of the most anticipated records of the year? Yeah, he got a raw deal on that one.
― Gavin, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Deserves better artistically, I'm just saying in my own subjective opinion, not that working on a major label album won't be good for his career.

maybe the live drums did end up on 'Boyz', or maybe the recordings weren't usable but made for a better story then "we ended up just using a sample".
