Also meant to mention that if you're digging the Vadim LP, the new DJ Krush will probably sound quite nice as well. Think it's called "Kasukei", or at least that's what all the press I've read have called it - the sleeve just has a Japanese character on it. It's only just made it to the UK from Japan, and a domestic US release is even more unlikely. More sludgy breaks with teasing scratches and that trademark underproduced sound. Possibly my favorite thing Krush has done seeing as how it's missing all the half-baked raps (Meiso w/ the Roots aside) that have ruined his other LP's for me. Only one vocal track on this one, by Esthero. Look for Req's LP on Skint as well for more staticky b-boy head nodders... And as far as the hip-hop thread goes - haven't even been able to read all the messages yet, but I'll ditto the recommendation for David Toop's "Rap Attack." Not nearly as dense as "Ocean of Sound" but equally invaluable. Like the T-shirt says: "Your music has a history. Learn it." ____________________________________ Brock Phillips - xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx WXYC 89.3 FM The New Science Experience Tune in every Sunday night 10-12 AM EST http://www.wxyc.org for live RA broadcast Promos, demos, etc. welcome for submission Email for postal address and details...
