Aim - Demonique from Cold Water Music (1999) /trip hop/((“he was my patient for fifteen years. he became an obsession with me until i realized that there was nothing within him—neither conscience nor reason—that was even remotely human. an hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him… he just […]
Aim - Ain’t Got No Time to Waste (feat. YZ) from Cold Water Music (1999) /trip hop/((“Time waits for no one and everybody got to go. you think you got forever? then walk around real slow. hesitate if you want, get caught out late. It’s moving too quick I ain’t got time […]
Aim - Cold Water Music from Cold Water Music (1999) /trip hop/((Aim put the hip back in trip-hop, despite that it wasn’t really there in the first place. They sound pretty much like you migth expect trip hop to be if you hadn’t heard it before. Chilled, mellow, dreamy beats, but crate-digger […]
Max Graham was incredible! I have never enjoyed a DJ performance that much in my life! I like to think that a healthy amount of liquor wasn’t all to thank for my excessive enjoyment, but rather only partially. Before heading downtown, Brian, Kevin, and I watched the first part of Fear of […]
Conjure One - Redemption (feat. Chemda) from Conjure One (2002) /eastern electronica/((This song shines like spring warming the earth with joyful, driven melody. It bubbles up, grand, and unyielding. yeah, you get the picture… words kinda fail here.))
What a rotten Psych mid-term. I hate multiple choice questions where you have to be sure on 2 different facts to get the one mark and only knowing 1 means zero. I thought .5 was supposed to round up to 1, ya bastards!! That’s what we learned in Math anyway. I […]
Nina Simone - Sinnerman from Pastel Blues (1965) /jazz/((an explosive 10 minute tour de force of unforgettable singing and instrumentation.))
Way Out West - Intensify (Part 1) from Intensify (2001) /prog house/((Fairly similar to the above, but perhaps a little more into the builds, and a little less gritty. +vocals. Hard to decide between the two. These guys know how to bust a groove that’ll make you move.))
Way Out West - Dancehall Tornado from Way Out West (1997) /prog house/((Over seven and a half minutes you get some sweet synths, samples, building, playing off eachother, and being downright danceable. It’s fuckin brilliant, mate. Hard, melodic, intense, epic, immense… that’s the W.O.W. way.))
Blockhead - Insomniac Olympics from Music by Cavelight (2004) /trip hop/((I admit it. I love to take the Blockhead in all sorts of strange places that would make your mammy blush. That’s no reason not to let your children near me though, I swear! This guy’s album is slick, dreamy, jazzy, catchy, […]
