Oh, I don't think the first half is necessarily stronger overall (though honestly it is hard to skip those first four), I just meant I haven't really absorbed the back half yet for various banal reasons. I think I'll start off with the two breastcrawl mentioned next time!

Tresor with Black Motion:he’s on “BloodStream” on last year’s The Healers album, but I prefer this track he did in 2016 for an earlier album of theirs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxlm-xE4lV8Black Motion ft. Tresor & Mahotella Queens • So-Where-To

just came across this interesting discussion of Rumble in the Jungle: https://thenativemag.com/scorpion-kings-tresor-rumble-discussion/they have very good things to say about both Tresor and Kabza, but I especially like the pro-shaker rhetoric here:
I love “Starry Night” because it has this echoey feeling that makes Tresor’s voice achingly beautiful. It’s also one of the songs where the shakers are literally at par with the rest of the instrumentation – another mark of how experimental this album is — but the shakers just give me good vibes. Tresor doesn’t have to shout or contort his voice, it just spurts out and that’s what I love about the sub-genre: that sense of ease.

Tresor will appear in that Metallica Blacklist covers album. His contribution is the one I’m the most interested in hearing.

what's happening with Motion, is there a date it got delayed to or was it just put off indefinitely?

J Balvin is also on it - reggaeton goes rock, should appeal to you!

xp to ufo: I don’t see any recent mention of Motion on his Twitter, so probably postponed again?

he has a feature on "Shangri-La" by Afrikaans band Die Heuwels Fantasties:

Motion has ominously disappeared from iTunes :(

Anyone else listen to Motion? Came out a few weeks ago (finally). It's nice.

I need to spend more time with it tbh, but I agree that it's nice!

It’s a lot like his previous solo album, but I loved that so…
