anyone else heard this yet? i like new flesh, i admire what they do, ditto for big dada as a whole, and this album is a bit of a grower. its quite an interesting album, their producer part 2 has obviously been listening to grime, dancehall, mainstrean hip hop, uk garage, and hes made it into something thats identifiably his and sonically, quite brilliant at times. i dont think the rappers in new flesh are up to much but theyre not horrendous (a bit rough around the edges though, like theyre not really trying hard enough), but with a lot of the tracks on this, i cant help thinking what the point is as i listen to one track thats like new flesh doing dancehall, another track thats like new flesh doing so solid/early ukg-rap, another track thats like new flesh doing grime, another track.... you get the idea. theyre not mere lightweight 'imitations' - there is a novel, kinda 'precise' (but not mechanical) approach that part 2 has to his production, but i cant help wondering why i would bother listening to this when i could listen to the artists theyre borrowing from. yes, i know this is a tired argument, and im not saying all music must be 'authentic', theres lots of great stuff thats been made by 'outsiders' to scenes/genres, but theres something thats a little too polite about this, a small problem i have with a fair amount of british big dada stuff. theres something lacking in the way of 'extroversion' or attack. yes, you could make the argument that not all hip hop, leftfield or otherwise must all have a high level of aggression, and i would agree (to a point anyway) but theres something a little too 'small'-sounding or non-attitudinal about this.....
