i listened to Flying Lotus' "Los Angeles" and honestly, it was kinda really boring. no songs, no basslines, no samples, just beats and weird noises. kinda lost me. his bbc essential mix is still pretty rad though.
the j*davey album is great

The Flying Lotus album didn't make a huge impression on me, either. I haven't gone back to it. Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't.

musinah seems a lot like GAM to me. not sure if i like her. screechy singing all over the place and not very songful.
Your capacity for constant rongness astounds me.

I discovered a podcast on slsk of garth trinidad and muhsinah
Woops, meant Garth podcast of Georgia Anne. On 1st listen, it's decent, with some exclusives. Will listen again soon.
haha on the GAM comparison, considering my mixup above. Although I don't get the "screechy" accusation on Muhsinah. Screechy is how I define much of the R&B out there, as Tombe Lockhart says in the interview posted above.
Gotta admit...it was that album that opened the door for me to revisit the Broken Beat meets Neo-Soul thing, which surely led me to this, but I don't think they're exactly the same. I got into Mark and Ticklah thanks to DJ Spinna colabs.
i listened to Flying Lotus' "Los Angeles" and honestly, it was kinda really boring. no songs, no basslines, no samples, just beats and weird noises
I consider Flying Lotus, 00Genesis, Jackhigh, et al to be a sub-genre. Not R&B, although, occasionally in an R&B mode.

I mean, I'm not saying you are rong about Muhsinah and GAM being similar, just the rest. ; )
― The Reverend (rev), Monday, 26 January 2009 23:16 (fifteen years ago) link
tbh i only heard her once a few months back and i prob should reinvestigate just to make sure i was right or not but i dont know if i want to repeat that experience.

I love both their voices, especially Muhsinah's.
― The Reverend (rev), Monday, 26 January 2009 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link
weird. the tracks on her myspace arent like the ones that were there last year at all. these are nicer. not very GAM at all.

for the record, day.break has been my favorite album on this whole thread (probably of the whole decade). not just saying it to pile up. i'm really blown away by it. i just know contrarian ass ilm would'nt agree if stated (and probably won't anyway), so i was hoping everyone would find it on their own and at least have no expectations

xpost - that flying lotus album has pretty good bass if you listen to it on a good system. i find if i hear it just on my PC speakers a lot of the low end disappears.

Finally, some of this has come in.
So far, not half as good as the Fader Suite903. Musinah gives way to IDM, Dubstep or whatever, inst Acid Jazz, Electro, but...
This Mara TK & Jake One track is great.
Om'mas Keith Prince-a-like track with Talk Box is great
Samiyam and Hudson Mohawke's "Eff This" is a *fantastic* beat that begs for a great vocal
Waiting for the rest.

Anyone know anything about MarToRio? His song Share Of from the Red Bull Toronto mix is in the heart of this. I've found next to nothing so far.

this is where we talk about PPP right? i'm enjoying this album more and more every time i spin it. i'm partial to the karma stewart songs, my favorite is 'on a cloud'; her voice is so soulful and retro (in a good way). does she have anything out there on her own that is worth checking out?
also looks like lastfm is autocorrecting them now, i remember rev complaining about that recently

Aight, so on one listen I like this new Heavy record a lot. It's a lot less hamfisted then their debut. More neo-soulish, too. Lots of rhodes and sax all over the place. And a heap of Stevie-isms. They even call the last track "Wonderlove" and go for a glorious, all out, unabashed Minnie-circa-Perfect Angel tribute. Somewhere in the middle there's a broken-beat rendition of the Sesame Street theme. The two "bumpers" are a good vamp that a didn't need to hear for more than a minute, but otherwise I can't really find fault. I didn't expect much of this, but color me impressed.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 18 March 2009 06:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, wow. I think the Jazzanova remix of "Wonderlove" might be even better than the original.
