Maybe I'm just dense but you guys *are* talking about "saltshaker" as in the Ying Yang Twinz, right? Or something else?

The new album is really, really fucking good, the tracks with FlowDan on especially. It's kind of the perfect environment for his vocals - nice to see his verse on Bounce make a reappearance here.

Just noticed this thread is for everything that isn't the Bug. Ah well.

london zoo is very good, but i have yet been able to handle it all in one sitting.
― mark e, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:37 (fifteen years ago) link
it's dark and heavy but i don't think as forbidding or hard work as it's been made out to be. loving the flowdan and warrior queen tracks as expected but i think it's hard to beat tippa irie's performance on 'angry'
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
talking of warrior queen, check her cut on the heatwave's piano riddim, 'things change' <3

'Skeng' comes up on my WMP list as 'Skene' which is sort of off-putting.
― NickB, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
perhaps my problem is that Angry is just so good, the rest of the album falls off afterwards. admitedly i do need to dedicate more time to this album
― mark e, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 15:51 (fifteen years ago) link
The new record is good, but it's not aggressive enough for me; I prefer the Killing Sound singles comp, billed to Razor X Productions (Kevin Martin w/the Rootsman).

^^^this
I need to hear this but for me, over time, The Bug seems to have turned into something that's best experienced live - I've always had a total blast whenever him and Warrior Queen have played out
― DJ Mencap, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:04 (fifteen years ago) link
so weird, the first time i saw them live was at a house party for NYE 04/05, i think i drunkenly told warrior queen how amazing she was for about half an hour
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link
what else should someone who likes king midas sound seek out of kevin martins? any of his 90s stuff? or any other ambient dub/reggae from other artists? KMS is really lovely.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Friday, 20 November 2009 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
There's some similar-ish stuff on Pressure (the Roger Robinson, Paul St Hilaire tunes obv.) Obviously Rhythm & Sound. The Pulshar is really good IMO.
KMS on some influences:http://kingmidassound.blogspot.com/2009/11/texture-tone-and-grain.html

ta. would have thought massive attacks work with horace myself too but i guess thats obvious.

We published an interview with King Midas Sound (Kevin Martin, Roger Robinson and Hitomi) today and he plays down the Massive Attack comparison saying they were probably listening to the same albums as the Wild Bunch used to listen to when they were recording. Full interview here.
I know this probably constitutes spam but we've got a micromix of the album done by Kode 9 as well, which I thought may be of interest to hyperdub fans.
― Doran, Saturday, 21 November 2009 00:39 (fourteen years ago) link
hes prob right, but it doesnt stop them sounding a bit similar (in a v good way).
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Saturday, 21 November 2009 09:06 (fourteen years ago) link
"the difference between us and Tricky is that for one, Roger sings"
i think its more that hitomi has a presence like martina that create the tricky comparisons
