i don't think Platinum Pied Pipers is very good. decent beats, but bad mc/vocalists.

"The hottest UK star pushing against electronic-ecstatic jazz boundaries has just hooked up with next planet's saviors of soul. This is Four Tet vs the Sa Ra Creative Partners! Colliding in a 'Contusion' of Calypso-inflected tack-synth-melodies, squelchy rude basslines and utterly serious 'supercool' speak, this is the most explicit fun anyone's had with Four Tet's musical parts since Jay Dee got involved last year! We're also treated to Four Tet's own 'Sun Drums and Gamelan' remix of the track, which recalls 'Rated X' era Miles Davis."
Anyone heard this yet? Thoughts?

It's so busy, there's quite a few different styles crammed in there. Including harddrive laptop skipping and broken beats, a distinction from straight up disco-looped house?
Don't know about the Fourtet connection in general. I'm interested to see where Sa-Ra position themselves in relation to R'n'B, hip-hop, electronica and downbeat though.

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.
― subroc back to haunt, Tuesday, 23 December 2008 16:33 (4 years ago) Permalink
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.

new album is out.

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.

Shafiq Husayn , one third of California beat unit Sa-Ra Creative Partners, will release a solo album via K7/Plug Research on September 15.

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

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.
― Goethe*s Elective Affinities, Monday, 10 August 2009 21:06 (3 years ago) Permalink
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.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 25 February 2010 16:35 (3 years ago) Permalink
lil girl is the standout. this could be a good ep.
