itt: kinda out there, maybe kinda experimental, maybe kinda pretentious modern r&b

ha. of course. unrequited love, etc

She's not quite "out there", but I figured I'd mention Algebra Blessett in here... her album Purpose was one of my favorites from last year:

Gorgeous voice.

this dude just added me on myspace. Always is pretty cool. looks like he had a remix on that garth trinidad mix i mentioned upthread

"Silverlake" video (plus other stuff):

http://ibootleggedyourmum.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/kissey-asplund-silverlake/

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

I need to catch up with this thread.

but for real though, me too

I like the Algebra tracks! I'd seen something of hers posted over at lolbounce, but it didn't catch me.

For those curious about Muhsinah's day.break, and a few other things in this thread, this was put together for someone else, but might as well place it here too.

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.

Oh, wow. I think the Jazzanova remix of "Wonderlove" might be even better than the original.

Sa-Ra album on Ubiquity, release date of 6/9.

Obviously the hold up was in waiting for a 6/9 Tuesday.

awesome

what's it called? black fuzz?

Pubic Cube (In Space): Book 1 of 4

Clip Never Stopping When It's Time to Kick or Spray, Vol. 1: Meccanomics

Pretty sure Black Fuzz was abandoned sometime before the release of The Hollywood Sessions and has mostly been cannabalized.

Actual title is Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love

Pubic Cube (In Space): Book 1 of 4

I am so disappointed that this doesn't appear to be real.

Wasn't the Black Fuzz stuff recorded strictly for GOOD/Sony? There was that teaser EP ("Nasty You," "Big Fame," etc). I can't keep it straight.

I have no idea what legalities were involved.

From Ubiquity press release:

Their plan was to release their Black Fuzz album through Sony Urban and follow-up with the Ubiquity album. However, as with the best made plans (especially those involving major labels,) Black Fuzz has yet to be released.

Om'Mas Keith is currently producing and writing for P. Diddy’s upcoming album (Last Train to Paris), and will co-star in a major network reality television show.

all music guy

Helping SRCP realize their potential on Nuclear Evolution is a crew of friends and co-conspirators that includes legends like soul chanteuse Erykah Badu, and saxophonist Gary Bartz with his quartet. The album also features up-and-coming talent like Debi Nova, Rozzie Daime, Noni Lamar, Erika Rose, Brook D’leau of J*Davey, Joseph Liemberg, Fenetta Lowe & Jimetta Rose.

so one of the "Moodymann" videos posted above is actually this guy Paul Randolph. he is with Moodymann and Waajeed, Innerzone, etc. damn good stuff:

ooh, "rough and tough" is some good shit. i'll have to track some of this stuff down

aight i cnt really find anything by him, even on last.fm so if someone wants to be a bro and webmail me that'd be great

just sent you a mail, k3vin

much love

Damn, that's pretty nice. Can I get a...?

got u homie (hope you dont mind, table)

thanks, kev!

no prob :) that first album of his wasnt bad, but i'm back to listening to the songs on him myspace, and damn i'm looking forward to a next album by him, this is some great stuff.

ruff and tuff/let me show ya

thanks kev! and yeah. i also like "About Last Night," but it is a bit housier for sure.

so one of the dudes from Excepter has produced an album with a sextet of 12-14 year old girls from Brownsville rapping over VERY Excepter=like beats. my friend's label is putting out the vinyl. very strange and obviously a novelty, but kind of awesome, too. like Rye-Rye but more fucked-up and menacing, on first listen.

Since this thread sorta went unnoticed the first two times around, I'm gonna put it here. I might be claiming new favorite band.
Francis and the Lights

that's kindof a bit more balearic yacht rock than kinda out there, maybe kinda experimental, maybe kinda pretentious modern r&b and there are about a million threads about that.

I think i kinda like it tho

just came in here to rave about algebra, but brainwasher did it a couple of months ago! 'run & hide' is gorgeous.

So off one listen Triangle is basically awesome. Lots of really blunted loops with prettiness strewn about on top. Shock sample of the album: Antibalas' "Beaten Metal" on "Re: Outsource".

new Muhsinah album, I should point out

Oh man, love your new screen name, Rev. That's really set the bar higher, I think.

the Muhsinah album i listened to (daybreak 2.0?) was unbearable imo

was this the thread where someone was posting about Paul Randolph?

yeah!! anything new from him? "ruff and tuff" was my shit a couple months ago
