which do you own? i can name more.. later. or you can just
browse my radio show playlists to see what i play most often (though it's
not really indicative of my hip-hop interests, as i hate
censoring things for airplay).

what do you think of the sakamoto album? strange you'd have
a bit of an obscure piano album, at least obscure in america
(where it's now out of print).

to make up for the 4 you have in the list here are 4 more
formidable bangers:
Arab Strap - The Red Thread
Black Star - Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star
Cex - Oops, I Did It Again!
D'Angelo - Voodoo

its pretty good. i like "the last emperor" off of it. i had
to import it though. its a bit sparse for me, but a good
album. i assume you have it, so it can't be that strange, as
you apparently live in D.C.

sparse... well for those of you reading out conversation,
it's a trio of piano, cello, and violin playing sakamoto
(the pianist and composer)'s best film score works from the
70s, 80s, and early 90s.. it's really beautiful stuff. not
as orchestrated as some of the soundtracks, but in some
cases not as barren (some scores are just piano solo). these
pieces have craaazy melody and rhythm, truly masterful stuff
anyone would like (unless all they listen to is hardcore
bullshit).

well, i agree. once again, there are some really beautiful
pieces on there. i actually bought it when i started playing
piano because i had read that it contained good piano work.
it was bitch to find though. i guess i'll say its very good,
but not my favorite sakamoto work.

Points: 4428 Status: Addict



and i don't mean to imply that sparse is bad, just maybe not
coming from sakamoto. i actually listen mainly to solo piano
stuff, not alot of the "hardcore bullshit" that people on
this board seem to favor.

You can download a free Dykehouse album at planet-µ. 5
tracks which are good considering they are free.

Speedy J is highly recommended. Get "A Shocking Hobby" if
you like dark tunes. "Public Energy #1" is almost as good.

Get Amon Tobin if you dont have anything of his.

D'arcangelo's "Broken Toys Corner" is kickass funky
braindance to tha max!

Anti-pop Consortium - Tragic Epilogue, my fav hiphop at the
moment, these guys are just too cool.

If you want some chillout jazz, get Ki-Oku by Dj Krush and
Toshinori Kondo. Very soothing trumpet with hip-hopish beats
with ambient background noise.

hey, release date enough info for me...

good, cuz the "pre release" isn't a finished album.

Points: 429 Status: Regular



yeah, i know it ain't the finished version
which gives me GREAT hope for the "real" versions...
just hope when it's finished they dun change these versions
too much...i think "sit down stand up" is better than good
as it is

funny, i think sit down is terrible in that form and great
live. but enough about hail to the thief, there are plenty
of threads devoted to it and it seems like every other
thread somehow ends up on that topic.
