I am becoming dangerously obsessed with Loefah - Truly Dread Any recommendations for similar?

hello i'm looking for examples of single artist albums that are all segued - like orbital's brown album (the only one I can think of and don't have it to hand to check if seamless across all tracks). also albums where one artist has recorded a number of tracks that really span genres - say...

me too - used to be making compilations or doing mixes and thinking 'no i can't play that next it's not green'. then realised it was just the cover art. but i still couldn't bring myself to put it on! do you find SAW85-92 black & white? i'd love to hear more about this colour/sound stuff...

Natasha Bedingfield?

i must say i don't immediately get a swell of happiness at huw stephens/ rob da bank. half of peel for me was in his personality. rdb/huw s just don't feel like individuals - 'unpluggable' everyone said about peel. will that be continued? haven't heard ras kwame, presumably that makes me a...

do dat mean others who have down down up up would be my bestest friends?

eh y'welcome. maths - i love it :)

*sigh* cor I wish I lived in New York. May I respectfully request: 'Bad Bwoy DJ' (DJ Hype) 'Feeling So Real' (Moby), and the 'Chime' remix off Naughty Naughty vol 6? Set it up DJ!! Running wild!

Yeh it sounds as if you have it right. 4/4 just means that you have an even count (in mainstream house music this is marked by the kickdrum) where you go '1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4' etc and the 1 is where it feels like the 'unit' or section of music starts. A case in point is Nomad's '(I Wanna Give You)...

I tried experimenting with counting my heartbeat in fives for a while. It works. So I would love to know how 4/4 got so big.

As in he of The Daou - Give Myself To You, Tribal etc? Didn't know of that association - thanks!

I confess my naivete but recently read a bit of Lester Bangs for the first time, and thought that what he did really well was to explore the emotional connections of the music, not so much a thought process but a feeling process. By the way where does one find mainstream music criticism...

eggman - i like that! :D after all if it was just emotion that made music matter, anyone could make great music cos we all have great emotions it's the structuring of emotion that = music i weren't sayin that being able to feel emotion from music made you capable of composing it - just that...

Yeh. The emotional bit is the only thing that matters to most people in the world. How a piece makes you feel is most important. When you listen in this way, you're hearing the connections that are being made with our collective consciousness. When you listen in the other way - 'Trained...

Schizophrenia, no? Profoundly disturbing. I wonder what musical auditory hallucinations are classed as in clinical terms.

I'll try and find the script (which is worth reading in itself - the stage directions - no hang on they can't be stage directions can they - non-verbal bits of the screenplay, then - are as funny as the lines), check it... man like Bruce Robinson. Where do you go from there? Bit like George...

Classic. The lyrics for the chorus must never deal with anything but the most basic of human emotions...stick to the cliches...they deal with the emotional topics we all feel... the lyrics can be quite meaningless in a literal sense but still have a great emotional pull (The Manual) Or as...

i'm missing this completely. i get 'birth date', 'home page url' and 'instant messaging' under optional info - no 'custom user title'. human error?

yeh poor ole busted. i did like their first singles. very funny lyrics.

can you have a consistent favourite bit? I love some of the non-verbal stuff - like the look on withnail's face on noticing the ponce-basher (after 'what fucker said that?'). The Hamlet soliloquy at the end is - well I say it again - flawless. Incredible. Also 'they'll chew through the...
