altho 'Countdown' ft. Bahamadia and Black Thought is the best thing he ever put his name to.

I randomly found this on the iTunes store and started listening to some samples -- it sounds pretty great!

i've said it before, but GB feat. Spacek - "Simply So (SA-RA Vocal Remix)" is probably the best thing i've heard from Spacek or Sa-Ra.

"Eve (Jay Dee Remix)" and "Dollar" aren't to shabby either.

you know - sometimes spacek sounds like sting.

hello?

hi vahid. i was "out".

i think the two spacek proper albums are more song oriented and have that offbeat jay dee thump filtered w/a british electronic vibe. the solo steve spacek album is, as jess said, sort of not there and airy. still very beautiful, but almost an ambient version of the same. if you want either, hit me up and i can get them to you.

You're thinking of Steve Miller.

i still can't get into this. the sa-ra remix of that one track is hot though. horn-y.

i figured out the prob i have with steve spacek while listening to his album again - much as i like the music (although even that could do with a *bit* of punchiness every now and then - it can err a bit on the side of too tasteful), his voice is just too feathery and light (he reminds me of the guy from hot chip in that respect). it doesnt help that he records it so intimately/sings so softly and doesnt really do songs with strong melodies either - the closest this album gets to a 'normal' song is look into my eyes, which oddly sounds a bit out of place as its such a change from all the minimalism on this (also a bit of a MOR song, sounds like some weird sort of 'nice' winebar soul). apparently the black pocket album is all instrumental though, which could be interesting.

if you read carefully dear deej, i said he reminds of me the guy from HC in the way his voice is a bit too light/quivery/diffident at times to really give his stuff gravitas.
