i have sketchbook, and i was wondering if his other stuff
was like this. i was under the impression that sketchbook
was a new direction for him.

plus i was looking at the back catalogue at warpmart and
thinking 'bout gettin more.

and i cant find anything other than sketch on soulseek!

see if you can find his track that got put out on the magic
bus tour CD... you should be able to find it on soulseek.
its not very much like any of the songs on sketchbook.

its called soul plot and its complete fucking GESCOM hiphop
style.

wooo req has done loads...'one' 'frequency jams' and 'car
paint schemes' on skint records, he mixed an album for plush
records (i think) and he and kid acne co-made 'rap traffic'
album....he has a few singles on fatcat and untimate dilemma
too...

your right sketchbook is a new direction, get frequenc jams
its his best album in my opinion, you wont be disappointed
;)

Bob..how does Sketchbook compare with "one"?

kinda abstract hiphop?..

one is indeed hiphopish, or 'ambient dub', a few tracks are
too repetitive for my liking but i love 'new intro' and
'cash money green' (it took me 2 years to understand that
track)....sketchbook is more abstract, its like real
instruments but played differntly, if u see what i
mean....frequency jams has much more experimenting with
different styles, more ambient and deep.....sketchbook isnt
at all deep compared with the others.

In the sleevenotes he lists what he used to make that album
and its very minimal.

Did we? Sorry.

I guess Skint could have paid him to go into a studio and
oompa loompa it up a bit. I guess they blew all their cash
and Fatboy No-wife.

quoting The Face:D
