hey, so uh, i'm interviewing lavelle on assignment. tell me where to start-- i know little about any of this, breaks and trip-hop ain't my deal.
― the table is the table, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 03:14 (sixteen years ago) link
well you could ask him about his approach to remixing the Boredoms, I thought that was a fairly intersting matchup that doesn't get enough love.
Lavelle really opened my eyes some 8 years ago at Apolo Nitsa in Barcelona - taking me with him from Young MC to Incredible Bongo Band to aicd house to thundering techno in the space of 6 hours. I realize that's not so out of the ordinary these days, but at least for me, at that time, it was relevatory.

yeah, he seems to get a lot of hate, but he at least seems to DO a lot of different things, some of which are pretty cool..

I heard "Lonely Souls" for the first time by accident (shuffle) yesterday, and despite Ashcroft it's absolutely superb :-/
i mean that second half just killed me :--/

"psyence fiction" > "third"

Both have pretty great production, Third has much better vocals and lyrics.

James Lavelle was pretty upset at being called that.
― Neil S, Friday, 2 January 2009 20:45 (fifteen years ago) link
i've listened to third maybe ... 50 times this year? or more? and i don't remember any lyrics except the portugese bit about the rule of three.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 2 January 2009 20:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I kind of agree, but Portishead lyrics are helped by not being at least in part written by Mad Rick. I would take Gibbons on Third over any of the vocal performances on Psyence Fiction, personally.

I have a friend with nearly every Mo'Wax release. Most of what's there is actually worth owning, but it's sad because if you lay them out in a line it makes an arrow that points to Lavelle's ongoing wankery.― mike h. (mike h.)
missed this at the time. LOL!
i am only at like 75% of the catalogue

i really like the early unkle EPs / remixes and psyence fiction. and some of the dj mixes are great too. but i stopped paying attention awhile ago

Psyence Fiction was in constant rotation in my high school car, but I could never really get into anything that unkle or dj shadow put out after that. not sure if they got worse or if i just moved on or something

the world passed them by a bit. there is so much 90's stuff that nobody listens to anymore. it will take future generations to unearth it.

that sounds good, i love frustrated musician movies.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Wednesday, 30 March 2016 14:02 (eight years ago) link
no trailer for the movie. i think for a lot of those guys the answer would have been to reinvent themselves as celebrity DJs and play obscure library funk tracks and garage rock or something. be the venerable legend. people pay money for that. trying to stay current is hard when you got famous for your dusty beats and samples. (maybe those guys did DJ a lot in the 2000s, i have no idea...)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 14:11 (eight years ago) link
I feel kinda bad for DJ Shadow. He can't really do the thing he used to do that he was amazing at (although I feel like the climate around samples has relaxed again, unless you're making Kanye/Jay-Z money? But he's still done it many times over already, and doesn't want to be retro.). He's released recent tracks without samples that are really well produced, but that sort of make him just another Soundcloud trap/EDM producer.
He did do a big DJ tour a couple of years ago where he was playing all current music (beat scene, footwork, etc), that was cool.

I saw James Lavelle DJ back in 01/02ish. He was a prick and the set was horrible. Basically he played really obvious progressive house and tech house. That night instantly ended any concern I had for him or his music.
