is this... even a little good? I want to like recent KRS albums big time. But yeah, him landing on Duck Down is a pretty good idea. They have the whole D&D Studios connection from the mid-90's, so... and DD has Sean Price who has turned into a super secret amazing weapon since his days in Heltah Skeltah. |

do let me know how this sounds, though. |
Quote:
it's produced by ill mind,havoc,black milk,marco polo,moss,dj mentplus,nottz,khrysis,coptic,9th wonder and there's guests on almost every track; dj revolution,mary j blige,rock,talib kweli,smif n wessun,immortal technique,k'naan,pharoahe monch,sean price,bounty killer,slug,naledge. basically if you close yr eyes you'll be able to predict exactly what it sounds like, but for what it's worth all the guests sound really excited to work with krs-one,and they are on almost every track so that helps alot look for "runnin away",and "think of all the things" on youtube i thought they were the best tracks |
I would say that havoc, khrysis, pharoahe, sean price & slug is a pretty good argument.
|
slug is good on it, it's a bizarre combo and one of the things that made me curious,and it was cheap as hell at walmart, like it's generic duck down post 2004 or whatever sound, so no surprises but everyone involved in the project is dope so there's nothing really shitty to complain about or anything
|
I agree that DD has a generic sound ever since their re-emergence, EXCEPT in the case of Sean Price. In the 90's I would have said that Rock was my favorite in Heltah Skeltah, but Sean P made a serious COMEBACK that was like woah.

Really? Because I have a few from them and they all seem quality. The Tim Buckley 'Happy Sad' especially is really nice. The Velvets I have from them ('VU' and 'Another View') were good too. |
It might have been that I didn't have such a great setup back when I bought them, but I've heard other people complain about the same thing too. It might only be a few of their albums, though. I've had VU&Nico (alright), Maggot Brain (alright), Chairs Missing (terrible), 154 (pretty terrible), Starsailor (alright), and Scott 4 (terrible.) I wouldn't doubt that some of them are good. Like I said, I have Metal Box and it's one of the better sounding LPs I own. I'm just very skeptical since I can't return LPs if I don't like the sound.
They do put out a lot of quality albums, I must say. |
At often stupid prices though.

Well I'm only up to Amazing Grace, but I'm absolutely blasting it and the sound is pretty damn crystal so far The best I've ever heard Fahey. Oh god this such a fantastic record! So yeah, barring loudness issues mysteriously cropping up later on in the record (I'll get back to you about that), I recommend it. Also, the packaging is completely beautiful. Thick card and a full reproduction of all Fahey's art, including the art book insert he drew for it. Beautiful. |
sweet! sounds like it's worth the price with all the reproductions. i'm definitely getting it over the weekend. hopefully they'll do more fahey records soon. other than this one, i only ever find his first christmas album in shops.

^You should. I've listened to the whole first LP now, and it is GOLD! As a little side note though, I would temper that by saying that I know sweet fuck all about audio, so take my enthusiasm as wholly uninformed.
Oh also, got this for Christmas: ![]() Amazing! It's Schlippenbach and a handful of other modern avant jazz greats doing a 3+ hour concert where they beast through the entire Monk songbook like total madmen, just like BAM BAM BAM through each tune in these really unusual arrangements. It's fantastic, but pretty deranged after a while. Edit: Oh, and can I point out that, on the evidence of the above gift, my mum is likely much cooler that yours. |
