Hugely satisfying and absolutely relaxed mix of tracks through the hiphop-soul-groovy-nujazz axis. This is why I listen to good selections like the DJ Kicks or Late Night Tales releases in the first place. I mean not the specific genre but the top-notch selection.
Would post this without listening to a single note. But, listened to this once so far. And now I need it to rest for a day and start listening again after. What I can say now is that it’s really diverse, and awesome, unexpectedly oldschool but not just that but lifespanning. Runs through the entire NIN catalogue’s moods and sounds and atmosphere in five tracks, and builds upon it to travel further. (Alright, not the entire NIN catalogue, but you know, the good records, the proper ones.)
Favorite track after first listen is probably The Idea of You with the most dragging industrial beat.
This is insanely good hiphop. And this album is probably the best hiphop record I heard so far this year. And the track Tell Me What I Don’t Know is a super smash hit. Straightforward sentences, true things.
It is a half-half album for me. Half is not my style, other half is still not mine but I still like it. It is something I can put in the singer-songwriter drawer and really good songs they are. And the album cover is a stunning good photo.
