Yeah on this, looking forward to it too

Was thinking just that this morninng when listening to Samiyam. Its really quite similar to what Prefuse73 or the Spezial Materials bunch were doing (and might still be for all i know), same fucked aesthetic but with more groove and less glitches.

thanks Ben, i'll check out Samiyam, haven't heard him yet.

Downloaded his redbull mix but theres not an awful lot on it - to my ears - that matches the track 9 has been playing. Alot of this Dilla inspired stuff seems to get really hectic in a way i don't find that appealing, the tunes with rythmic space are fantastic though. Is there anything anyone...

:mad: 6hrs to go.........

Is this downloading absurdly slow ( 2kbs) for everyone else? If anyone has uploaded it could they pass on the link please. thanks

Went out and bought the cd at lunch. Very impressed on first listen, beautiful sounding and subtly engaging. Did find a couple of tracks a bit too slow moving but then a bright crowded office is hardly the right enviroment to absorb it fully. That said the tape hiss and general atmospherics...

Isn't the problem more about lack rythmn than lack of garage influence or signifiers? Groove or swing isn't exclusive to garage, Loefah's lastest tracks seem to have more in common with hip-hop than garage rythmically but that doesn't mean they plod, at least not to my ears.

I'd say that hits the nail on the head. When I was introduced to the music it was fresh to the majority of people, spoken about with excitement by the kind of active searchers who you listen to when they think they've found something new. I hate hipster (or whatever the correct term is) politics...

Thanks for listening Barry :) "directions" is hopefully forthcoming on 12" through Gracenote Recs this autumn or winter. I'm still not writing stuff thats as focused as i'd like it to be, too much of my time is taken up by having to work around failing technology. That said, if anyone would...

www.myspace.com/narcossist nice to hear some objective discussion on the tracks. I'll give some feedback on the oter pages as soon as i get somewhere with broadband rather than dial-up.
