what i got is what i got..........
Before I get into the music, read 'My Friend Leonard' by James Frey. It's the sequel to 'A Million LIttle Pieces'. You need to read that one first, but 2 of the best books I have ever read. Frey is the modern day Bukowski. The writing style is direct without being overly descriptive. He builds it slowly and in a way that has you thoroughly engaged in the story. now.....
Jamie Lidell, Multiply - Quite a change of pace from his earlier releases including the ones with Cristian Vogel as Super_Collider. The album is pure funk with some hints of abstract beats, but for the most part a pure funky, soulful collection of songs. think Motown/Hitsville and Stax. A part of me loves this type of music and to see it be released on Warp by Lidell renews my faith in music. good music is good music. Full circle, motown to techno/house to abstract to motown. "A Little Bit More" is a track that's gonna make you move.
Funkstorung, Return to Acid Planet - A collection of songs collected from their "vault". A double 12"-only release showing more of their eclectic old-school style rather than the pop-orientated stuff on Disconnected. A lot of 303 acid fuzzy bass lines.
Lali Puna, I thought I was Over That - A collection of remixes and rarities. One cd is the remixes that they did and the other one is remixes of their own songs. Some interesting songs here. Nothing that really tops the originals.
Spectral Sound Vol.1 - The alter ego of Ghostly International bringing together some of the great tracks and unreleased stuff from the likes of Matthew Dear, Osborne, Geoff White and others.The second cdis a megamix of Spectral tracks compiled by Ryan Elliot. Bass heavy and "progressive" type melodies.
Sufjan Stevens, Greeting from Michigan :The Great Lakes State - Released in 2003. A great collection of pop songs from this multi-instrumentalist that are all about Michigan. A very warm intimate record. Gotta check out his other stuff soon. Wow.
Deadbeat, Primordia - An album from 2001 that displays more of a dark slow building collection of beats. Not as dubby as his newer stuff, but just as good. Another artist who is pushing music forward.
