but i knew you already had this

check the Spacek stuff if you haven't already. English electronic take on jay dee smooth samples and hard beats. very heady. my only problem with the group is the singers weird accent. it's just so proper.

Hey...do you know where to get the track at the end of BBC Radio 1's Philly special? It's called "Braid your hair." I want it!!

Oh--I've liked all the Spacek I've heard, but it's too electronic-y to match with "Fall in Love." Am I being too picky?

do you have the jazzy jeff BBE album "The Magnificent". it really is as it's title claims. there are many songs on the album that are very much like this slum song. there's even a great one w/Shaun from Boyz II Men (?!). and i forget what the J-Live album sounds like right now, but i think jeff produced a bunch of this?

also, the king of filtered beats (although rhythmically kinda boring) is Pete Rock. i'm not the hugest CL Smooth fan, and if you're not either, check out I.N.I.'s album. very good album and tons of filtered, trippy beats. he's not as smooth an mc as slum (and there's hardly any singing on it). if you're looking for something w/o any mcs Pete also has that Petestrumentals album on BBE that's prettty good.

I second the INI recommendation. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a 'lost classic' like some do, but it's still purdy good.
Petestrumentals is a bit boring but worth hearing.

i bought Petestrumentals after falling in love with 'Welcome to Detroit', thinking it was gonna be more of the same and was very unenthused after i first heard it. i sold it, but burned it before i did. it wasn't until recently that i got a copy of Reason and started making music that i really learned to appreciate it.
