Octobers MOst listened to.

Re: Re: Re: Octobers MOst listened to.

If you like those tracks, then I'd say to get, n this order:

Good Stuff
Spirit & The Blues
Me To You
Home To Me

The Roadworks live CD is good too, good selection of stuff on there. That's just him with an acoustic band, recorded in 2000 I believe, haven't got the disc to hand to check.

A good place for sourcing blues stuff is www.redlickrecords.co.uk
They're based in North Wales and have an excellent selection, can be a bit pricey but do also have a lot of second hand stuff.

 

Again in no particular order

Moloko - Statues
Eleanor Mcevoy - Yola
OST - O Brother Where Art Thou
Bran Van 3000 - Discosis
Massive Attack - 100th Window
LSO - Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique
Saint Germain - des Pres Cafe
Bob Dylan - various
Soloman Burke - Don't Give Up On Me
FLC - Welcome to Poppy's
Dub Syndicate - Murder Tone
Kings Of Leon - Youth and Young Manhood
Dido - Life For Rent
Underworld -Dubnobass with my Headman

If you are looking for something original get the Bran Van 3000 disc, repeated playing is a must.

Fab, you don't dance to techo anymore

 

sOrry for the late reply mO but it's taken days fOr my head tO stOp spinning after reading your pOst .

I have StankOnia and in cOmparisOn I'd say that the new album is mOre expansive and [fOr want Of a better descriptiOn] it's less 'pure hip hOp' (I felt StankOnia was mOre cOmmercial than the likes Of their previOus releases.) and mOre sOul/R'n'B/Funk. A wOrthy purchase IMO :MILD: .

 

well sOunds like time tO add "SOuthernplayalisticadillacmusik"

"Atliens"

and "Aquemini"

Aquemini is pOssibly my fav' but all are wOrth owning IMO! One of the funkiest bands arOund IMO! GeOrge ClintOn (funkadelic and parliment), even wOrked with them!!!

Have listened tO the samples Of the new One and it sOunds verrrrrrrrrrry innnnnteresting!

If anyone's reading this and isn't *into* hiphop/rap, don't just dismiss Outkast! There's MUCH MOre to these than the average bad ass hip hop ppl! Damn funky!!! With a capital Chicken Wing! erm....

 

Re: Re: Octobers MOst listened to.

Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift

mO, gave this a thorough spin last night.
I started off with "The love below" disc as the current single, "Hey yeah", is (for me) a fantastically produced piece of pop. The rest of the disc is equally outstanding. I was expecting "Speakerboxx" to be less enjoyable and more hip-hop orientated but it blew me away as well.

Listening to this double CD set is like enjoying a retrospective of every relevant/important R&B/Funk/Rap/Hip-Hop release of the past 30 years.
There's a bit of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Cameo, Prince, Busta Ryhmes, Public Enemy, George Clinton, Miles Davis :music: .........and the list goes on.

It's always great to find an album that just knocks you off your feet and this does it in spades. I was listening to "Songs in the key of life." the other night and "Speakerboxx/The love below" is honestly in the same league. another relevant reference would be "The Rainbow Children" by Prince.

It's important to remember, as mO said; Outkast are not just for hip-hop fans.

Stunning :MILD: .

(just a pure b:bub:stard that it's copy protected so i can't stick it on my iPod :banghead:.

 

Yes you can. Just make an analogue recording of it using something like Creative Recorder. By the time it's been turned into MP3 ( :chunder: ) you won't here a difference.

 

If anyone can recommend a simple recording program for my iMac then please do .

I'll be eternally grateful.

 

You mean the all-conquering everything-you-need-in-one-box iMac doesn't come with a recording program

Scurrilous!
