Sade: Classic or Dud?

Tracey Thorn comes closest, I think.

austrian trip-hop/downtempo DJ duo, popular in the 90s alongside the likes miles ahead of thievery corp.

LBI OTM. i was just connecting dots.

if you're interested, rev, check out their G-stoned EP and K&D sessions collection (both pictured & represented above).

haha yeah don't taint k&d by association with their contemporaries. they were like the only good thing to come out of "downtempo."

k&d sessions is still really good it's-too-hot-to-move late-night late summer listening.

i like those thievery corp joints that arent very downtempo, like that doors remix

also lebanese blonde is kinda dope imo

man i owned JAZZANOVA records and i still could not fuck with tc

Haha so true Strongo :)

not a TC fan, but deej OTM re: "lebanese blonde"

theres a downtempo version i dont like as much but they remixed their own shit & it kinda bangs

K&D was so ubiquitous at a moment in time - don't think I could ever decide to put it on.
I need to give Sweetback another go tho

I enjoyed the Sweetback album a lot at the time (it was as close as I ever got to buying a Sade record between the "Your Love Is King" 12" and the Soldier Of Love album) - must find out whether it still holds up.

The Brainwasher

Only one of those doing anything for me is the Who Is David Byrne? joint

sweetback is sade btw, just wout the singer

yeah, i know that

well, for everyone else then

so good! the visuals and the intro sorta remind me of gotan project

sade dancing!!!

amazing. fucking psyched for the new orleans show next week.

buying tix for austin tx next weekend, show's in october :D :D :D

really great show. totally worth the (not inconsiderable) ticket price. classy stuff. also it was a sade show in new orleans in july, everyone looked amazing, great vibe.

so im getting into sade

i got lovers rock, it is epically fantastic. i am in love with the song flow especially but also somebody already broke my heart and immigrant and by your side which along w/ smooth operator is p much the only sade song i had heard before. i am in my room bc my housemate has banned me from listening to sade (i am also banned from listening to enya wtf)

evict your housemate imo

there's a quiet storm and you are just gonna have to DEAL OK

nah he's a nice guy

i like the way her voice sounds like its pushing in this really flat way against the edges of her range.

She and the band SLAYED in Oakland last night! Her saxophone-man Stuart Matthewman nearly stole the show. Going again tonight before another 10 year wait.

i have a ticket for Austin Sept. 7th show :O !!!!

She was so good when I saw her a few weeks ago. So totally cool, so totally in control, but she was definitely having fun, too. Super staging as well, totally subtle and tasteful, which is what I'd expect, but still more than I usually expect from an arena. Love the economy/restraint of her band.

is it possible for anyone to u/l the kenny larkin remix of "give it up" linked upthread? that one's down, it's not on itunes for sale and it died with my hard drive a few weeks ago ;_;

here ya go http://www.mediafire.com/?duo9cec30t2iri4

yr welcome. it meant i listened to that track again which improved my day :)

love that remix

yeah, so much

We played Diamond Life at our record club. http://devonrecordclub.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/sade-diamond-life-round-45-grahams-choice/

I really want the Bring Me Home DVD. The truncated version they showed on tv was incredible.

I hung out in her guitarist's loft yesterday. (BRAGGIN' 2015)

Wait wat

....meaning you hung out in stuart matthewman's loft?
