When you flick through it you get this sense that its very much this Dada, Burroughs cut up sample collage. All sounds just coming from all directions and scrunching in on each other like some nutty hardcore track.
But listening to it properly, its actually nothing like that at all. It’s actually just a very slick loop. Smug jazz chords. "In the pocket" drums worthy of the Scorpio theme from dirty harry.
It’s a testament to the 70’s fetish of the 90’s. fender rhodes. funk. the films samples are presumably from the 70’s.
there’s a red light song (from the 90’s) called ‘sensi’ which samples loads of yard tapes, michael rose and a volcano-era reggae thing. it completely encapsulates the jamaican sound world of the era. it distills it and compresses it to the extent that that you’ve got a whole 2 decades of jamaican music contained in this one track; the swampiness of lee perry, heavy dub bass, dancehall drums, ragga chatter, reggae piano, etc.
this comes from the same place, just replacing the impetus jamaican music with 70’s funk and fusion.
