Memory keeper. Mostly music, some movies, series, video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Came accross this one completely randomly while image searching for ESB and the cover caught my eye. And it turns out to be a triphop-downtempo album, which is just great! Easy going, no moody depth here, just some nice tunes and beats.
The new Krush record is out, and there is not much to add except there’s no disappointment whatsoever. It is a perfect record with the beautiful moody triphop he can offer, and not one single track out of tune or style. I will see him play live just a week from now and I am quite excited about that, especially after this album. I sincerely hope that he brings along a bunch of vinyls so that I can have this little beauty shelved.
Cool two new tracks from Tricky. Even cooler what he says about Ivy, who is featured one of the tracks:
“The strange thing is, I’ve had the track for a while but I only just found out that she’s not rapping in Chinese. I ain’t got a clue what language it is. I have no idea. It might be completely made up but whatever it is, it sounds wicked. I’m lucky that with my label, False Idols, I don’t need to worry about things like this. I’m never going to have an A&R guy saying to me, ‘We don’t understand what she’s saying.’ Because we don’t need the support of commercial radio.”
Yes, you don’t. And it is a great thing.
Marc Collin of Nouvelle Vague created an album with covers of some trip-hop classics. Nice collection, mostly okay covers, slow and moody, nostalgic, sweet-and-sorrow.
The other day Rdio was slow on the stream and nowadays these are the moments when I dig up some old favorite records to listen to. So this is how I revisited Parker’s debut long player on Mo Wax. I so much love everything about it and has this deep personal touch that I feel with a select few of albums, like Grooverider’s Mysteries Of Funk for example.
Kiss My Arp is also a stunningly melodic experience. I have Andrea Parker in my mind as the queen of this dry, lean, cold break electro, and probably that’s adequate for many of her compositions. But Kiss My Arp is definitely something much better filled with life and perfectly matches the late-90′s line-up of Mo Wax with its trip-hop sounds and moods.
Beautiful ambient soundscapes, triphopish tempo and grain, IDM electronics.
Végighallgattam végre ezt az új The Bug albumot, de nem vagyok boldog. Sokra számítottam, és az eddigi EP-k alapján volt is miért, a lemez többi száma viszont pont az, ami miatt nem volt hiányérzetem. A már kiadott öt tracken kívüli számok nagy része valami fárasztóan buta grime, amire nem voltam kíváncsi.
