The 'whatever happened to' thread . . .

[Bang Diddley]

After two great albums 'Masquerades and Sillouettes' and 'Its all happening now',
Lewis Parker seems to have left the building. So I ask, Whatever happened to Lewis Parker ?

 

[michael]

He showed up on Ghostface's Fishscale, which was a bit of a surprise...

[viktorvaughn]

Waaay over-rated album.

It's great! I always thought it was the second one that was poor...bit to UKHH, whereas the first one had a proper unique voice.

 

[mos dan]

Dweeb were last seen (not by me) playing a festival in Didcot in 2005.

Absolutely brilliant CD by the way, worth a purchase

Long piano or organ solos on house tunes?

 

[straight]

id say the fact that half the tunes you hear out have never been near a non computer keyboard has a lot to do with it. theres is an amazing long piano solo at the end of carl craig's d+g revelee mix though.

Long piano or organ solos on house tunes?

you mean like this
richie rich - salsa house


while i'm here, what happened to broken beat ? Was listening to the last few tunes on 'the good good' comps last night, perfect for a warm evening.

That kind of thing, yeah.

Used to love the tunes with lots of pianner in them - walking basslines, quality chord progressions and florid solos. Roger Sanchez remixes used to have good solos on them.



Some of these tunes had so much work put into them - yer standard peaks and troughs would be produced by painstaking orchestration of strings, piano and horn sections (whether real or synthetic) rather than snare rolls or fecking filter twiddling. And the tracks would be long affairs, with a real progression from start to finish:

that lovely remix on that francisco tristano mix on infine label by mr craig is almost entirely a big piano solo - in a kind of acoustic strings of life style.
