Hi guys
Would anyone would be interested in a top 100 from me. It's a dyed in the wool house list which I feel strongly about. I've been reading a bunch of the threads here for the first time since a couple years ago and I'm inspired by the energy of the debate. I used to listen to a lot of UK stuff until some formative experiences listening to soulful music, on high end sound systems on LSD. I think the attitude towards that sound here could use some refreshing or some abuse of me, dert.
Here's number one. Heard this for the first time on a rooftop during a Bushwick evening in summer. The production can't get any better than this and good luck finding a more plaintive vocal experience. The good thing about this kind of song is that the message develops through the whole course of it, and Francois uses the entire frequency range to communicate his ideas about rhythm and structure. That's not the kind of thing you'd be aware of while first listening to it, but after 10 minutes and it feels like 2 or 3, you're in a very different place than you were at the start. Took me a couple months to find a good copy.
