there's some great theremin-esque action on this record btw

"milliseconds"

Apparently that's "Strawberry Incense"? Nice.

that sounds like harp!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

hahahaha matt <3

XD

yes there is plenty of harp on this record.

there's some great theremin-esque action on this record btw

prob that kaos pad she always is messing with live

yeah exactly. would purchase album of her just dicking abt with that for an hour.

dammit, this can't drop soon enough

peeps that have heard it:

i have only heard the song on that's on her home page and "window seat"

i think they are good, but i really dug the awesome, weird messed up p-funk meets dilla type more hard hitting groove songs on the first new amerykah

are there more uptempo or midtempo ones? cuz the two i've heard are good but definitely meeeeelllooooow

its a pretty mellow set, all told. she said that this is her left-side-of-brain album, more emotional, less political. its no less awesome though.

I'm putting myself in the mindset that I can enjoy this album a lot even if it doesn't come with the raw like "The Cell" or "Twinkle."

m@tt you shld also listen to 'jump up in the air (stay there)'

sounds like it's gonna be a lot like 'mama's gun' which is great for me, bcz mama's gun is one of my favourite albums...

this:

you built a wall
a 20ft wall
so i couldn't see
but if i get off my knees
i might recall
i'm 20ft tall

reminds me a LOT of why I fell in love with 'Mama's Gun' to begin with.

also:

you're in love with me - but i'm driving your benz
you're in love with me - but i'm drinking your gin
you're in love with me - but i'm fucking your friends

The lyrics for each song, except this one, are printed in the booklet.

Each song has its own page. Beneath the title for this one: "(lyrics too terrible to write)"

hahahaha!

agitation, produced by sa ra, is one of the gems on this album... has a real rotary connection feel to it.

That one fills the "Amerykahn Promise" slot this time right? Flat out track jack? (But a good one, nonetheless.)

ooh, i'm not sure - don't recognise the source, and there's nothing on the song-writing credits i have suggesting that

It's "Just As I Thought" by David Sancious

that's totally right, thanks for cluing me in on that eric

It's "Just As I Thought" by David Sancious

Just sayin'

Oops, I meant

... I don't get it.

The album cover design seems very similar to me.

Plus both are like about 45 minutes long. And totally awesome for it.

But don't mind me. There are about four artists out there I'm fanatical about and I tend to believe they are all the same person.

wtf those album covers are nothing alike :|

But don't mind me.
