for the stuff that doesnt really fit into the other thread...
been listening to the new pete rock album quite a bit lately - exactly what you would expect it to sound like, but brilliantly, and a lot better than the first volume of petestrumentals, which was pretty much samey headnodders from front to back. ive thought that since around 94, pete could often be too smooth, with everything mixed and engineered to perfection, and obv this is still mixed and engineered to perfection, but its a lot more diverse, not just mellow moods.
the new alchemist album, israeli salad is good too. standard beat tape format, but i like pretty much everything he does, even if he is often minimalist to a fault.
also skimmed through the recent KA album, but dont quite get what makes it so special. sounds like someone from dilated peoples doing raekown with a slightly worrying obsession with 70s conspiracies. good samples though.
