The Madness and Me 2007-09-13 11:50:00 So, does one half of Orbital sound half as good as Orbital?Longrange is the much-awaited, by me anyways, new project by Phil Hartnoll of Orbital and, um... some other guy. Now, Oribital is maybe my favorite electronic act ever, so the big question is... how does it stack up? The answer... decently. There is certainly a whole lot of the Orbital lushness in there, which is good... but it's kinda lacking an edge, which for me is not as good. A lot of the songs with vocals are getting a little close to pop, but since Phil was always the mincy one, I suppose that was to be expected. This one is my fave so far... kind of the "Belfast" of this album, if you will...Longrange - Lie Down So yeah, that's not too bad at all... waiting for Paul's project to drop now... whose will be better? Stay tuned! Read more:Madness
The Man-Machines 2007-09-11 15:01:00 Hey folks...Finally done with the hell job... and I promised something good... now I deliver...Kraftwerk - Live at Coachella 2004Amazing show, fantastic sound quality for a bootleg... I was there... they played right after Radiohead... oh fuck yeah!Enjoy!
A short hiatus... 2007-09-05 21:37:00 Hi all,Due to the supremely fucked work schedule I'm on this week, I won't be blogging again until next Monday. But rest assured... lots of good stuff is coming your way next week.Peace,The Management
Laboring on Labor Day 2007-09-03 12:58:00 Happy Labor Day (to those here in the U.S.). Ironically, I am working today. So sucks to be me.Since it's sorta unofficially the last day of summer, here's a song that couldn't be more appropos... Puracane is one of those groups that fit the classic Trip-Hop template, i.e. cute girl in front singing, pasty dude in the back twiddlin' the knobs. They've only released one album thus far that I know of, but it's a really good one, right up there with the best work of Morcheeba and all that lot. How a group like that decided to cover Jane's Addiction I can't figure out, but damn if it doesn't work splendidly...Puracane - Summertime Rolls So, on this here job today, I just got to meet famed conservative blowhard Tucker Carlson, and although I certainly don't agree with the dude's politics, I must say, he's a terribly nice fellow. I'm sure he eats babies and stuff when he's not being all professional, though... positive of it. Remember when he got pwned!!1!! by Jon Stewar
Death Jazz! 2007-10-01 12:31:00 At least that's what the band calls it...The band being the bunch of Japanese Jazz lunatics known as Soil & "Pimp" Sessions. These guys are nuts. They play Jazz like it's Punk Rock. I swear, if ever there were to be a mosh pit at a Jazz show, this is where it would happen. Here's one of their less crazy jams...Soil & "Pimp" Sessions - Worldwide... that one doesn't even have the crazy Japanese shouting over the top. But as you can hear, these guys have serious Jazz chops, and yes, they have been championed by my man-crush Gilles Peterson. There's nothing wrong with a harmless man-crush, people... nothing! Um... that is all.
Download this! 2007-09-28 11:57:00 Let's end the week with a good one...New Sector Movements is a project from producer I.G. Culture, a close comrade of the mighty Bugz In The Attic crew, so you know what to expect... broken beat goodness! And since I'm having another one of those days when I seem to be short of pithy comments, I'll just tell you to heed the album title and Download
This right now! (See what I did there? Huh? Huh? I know, you'd punch me right in the face now me if you could)...New Sector Movements - Never Been CloserAnd with that, have an awesome weekend!
Goodbye Summer! 2007-10-18 12:08:00 For post number 200 (Virgos love milestones), I have decided to inflict upon you another Tonegent original production (Virgos love self-promotion), just finished a couple of days ago... kind of a bouncy, jazzy downtempo sketch of a thing.Tonegent - GoodbyeSummer
(ysi)Please feel free to leave any comments you have on how much you love or hate it. BTW, You might notice that little link up there that says (ysi)... that's a Yousendit link. Now, I'm quite aware that Yousendit blows because you can't hear the track before you download and it only stays up for 7 days... so don't even bother. Click the song name like usual. The other link is just there so my posts will show up on Hype Machine (hopefully). Yes, Virgos love validation, too.
Now it's Dad's turn... 2007-10-17 12:56:00 Since I posted some Femi Kuti a while ago, why not some Fela?I shouldn't need to say anything... so I won't... :PFela Kuti - Who No Know Go KnowYep.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquariussssss! 2007-10-22 09:42:00 Funny memories of this song...Mark Mac and Dego, aka 4Hero have been innovators in D & B and Broken Beat for a long time, but this song here is a bit different. It starts off as sounding kind of like a Zero 7 song, all downtempo and acoustic like with the female vocal harmonies, but then in the chorus turns into this over the top "Age of Aquarius" freak-out. Like, a naked hippies running through a field in sychronized dance steps kinda thing. I guess a more flattering description would be to say it's a total '70s Soul Jazz choir kinda thing, but the "Age of Aquarius" joke never got old. To wit, a friend I used to DJ with would often play this song at cocktail loungey sort of gigs and forget how big and outrageous it got, only to remember too late, as folks started to give the DJ booth strange glances once the freak-out began. And he must have done this at like 10 straight gigs. Bizarre. Don't get me wrong though, it's a hell of a nice tune... just a bit, shall we say, big...
