Yeah, 3 years old but still haven't gotten a good clean copy of it. (The one on imeem sounds like a first draft, but it whooshes through the headphones like damn!)
Point taken on the "featuring Badu" aspect, tho.

i saw ommas perform at a club earlier in the year - hilarious stuff. nice little (as in tiny, borderline white stripes numbers) band too.

The version posted on rappersiknow certainly sounds finished.

Finished, but highly compressed/muted somehow.

I mean, good enough that I've been listening to it on repeat for the last two months, but still ...
What was the Monch track? It's off youtube now. I haven't found the two or three things I've half-listened to by these even interesting, but Hey Love is really nice, maybe i've been missing out.

Am I behind in this convo is is Monch's Agent Orange in question here?

Oh right I either didn't realize or i forgot that they produced that. Thought what you posted must have been a remix of a Desire track. Thanks.

Seems counter-intuitive that when Monch returned with much more soul and horns than I expected, sa-ra of all people were partly responsible for an expectation of stuff that was a bit more raw.

and it isn't titled Pubic Cube (in Space): Book I of IV ;_;
Just got this from emusic... Halfway through it and I think it might be pretty great. The first few songs just kinda floated by, but ten tracks in I'm completely on board. "Love Czars" is awesome.

I think "He Say She Say" is my early favorite

the single is ridiculously awesome, and i was never hugely into sa-ra per se before

that track is super rad

Even though most of the new album doesn't really do it for me, even after repeated listens, I can't get enough of "He Say She Say" -- it is absolutely, deliriously magnificent.

listening to that shafiq album. these guys are so pastichey. almost everything they do sounds slightly deriviative. and i get the feeling its almost deliberate, their way of tipping their hat. but it just sounds slightly drab or like a damp squib. so mish mashy. plus their vocals are really shit and flat. this album should be on ninja tune.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 25 February 2010 16:34 (3 years ago) Permalink
actually the main prob with this album is that surprisingly it seems overproduced. and then theres something about the production thats almost too slick and perfected, with all the grit and rough edges sanded off.

lil girl is the standout. this could be a good ep.
