Any comments on this? Any fans of his around these parts? |

His new single (So Cold?) is great. I liked his previous work, so I'll probably get a copy of this. Good bloke, very talented and seems like a good laugh. |

Too Cold is the name, that's one of the stronger ones in my view, but I'm partial to Mind 2 Motion and Rebel Heart among many others, only one or two weak ones on there, plus a few nods to his previous work, which I always like in my music...the most obvious are Mind 2 Motion and Chin High, but there are others... |

He's certainly got a nice line in lyrics, one that jumps out on this disc for me is something like "I ain't a pimp but I'm still pimp-strutting" and of course on the opener there's the immortal "Mind 2 motion, swing your pants, mind 2 motion, swing your skirt" Qualiteeee :-) |

do you like ugly duckling? i just bought their album 'taste the secret', lots of related tracks, much better than roots |

S'alright i suppose, but it kind of souds a bit flat or overproduced or something, at least to my ears. There's a few demo tracks on the double-disc edition that absolutely shit on the album versions, i think his flow suits that kind of rough production much better. |

Ah, yes, but have you got HND yet? ;-) |

its on my 'to do' list, right after number 47- sit on a lit candle. |

Agreed about the extra disc, but the ones I reckon you mean are done with a band, so they wouldn't really sit right on the album itself I think... |

One of the worst live acts I've ever seen. Made me uninclined to check their studio work out. |

Where's the dub man? |
||||||||
|

got the new Manuva album recently, still not listened to it enough yet but it does sound good so far! like you said about nods to his previous work, there are loads... like "sinny sinning" and such. saw him live in Leeds in Feb, was pretty damn good :D |
||||||||

Do we take the references to this being his last LP seriously though? |
||||||||

Wow, so this album has really grown on me, but my guess is it'll probably turn out to be one of the most slept on quality releases of this year. There's lots of detail in the production, though it may indeed seem a tad overproduced now and then. Lyrics are nice, funny at times, solid flow. The choruses he sings are easily picked up and there to stay. I can't pick an absolute favorite song really, they all have their charms. I somehow get the impression that he produced this album entirely using Reason, which if true would make it an even more interesting album to me as a Reason user. Now I hope he's going to do a dub remix album of this one too, "awfully dub" or something. Anyway, definitely give this one a try! |
