zen, you have exquisite taste

[zenbooty]

zen, you have exquisite tasteWhy thanks! One of these days I should get really drunk and post my whole collection (about 350 cds, and if I had to guess, between 300-400 albums on cassette, though I've never really counted the cassettes).

I was listening to Funky Kingston on a tape I've had forever, but never touched much at all. The back story is that once years ago (in my SF days), a friend of mine went studying abroad in Argentina for a semester, and asked me to babysit his music collection. Of course I obliged, and proceeded to go through his massive pile of tapes, listening and figuring I'd record what I liked. This got to be tedious and time consuming, so instead I just broke down and started recording everything. Over the next 5 or 6 months or whatever I copied his entire tape collection, and many of his cds, some of which I never even bothered turning up the volume to hear while I copied them. So now I have this big collection of music on tape that's probably even more eclectic than my own cd collection, and has been a source of constant inspiration as a music collector. Anyway, that's my back story.

So I'm listening to Funky Kingston for the first time, and it just grabbed me. Damn, I've never been a big reggae fan, though its ok. I much prefer ska and dub. But this album was great, and Friday as I was driving home for the long weekend and listening to it, I decided I must pick it up. So when I get to the record store, I pull a total zenbooty and wind up splurging on 4 cds!

Funky Kingston is great, of course. That's what got me to the store in the first place. The big classic by these guys is a tune called "Pressure Drop." The Clash would go on to cover it years later. It also has two excellent covers of songs I would never imagine being covered reggae-style: "Louie Louie" (!!!), and "Country Road" by John Denver.

The Squarepusher was decent but kinda unnoteworthy compared to a lot of his other stuff. Its pretty conventional drum + bass. Its good, but he's done better.

Interstellar Space is one of Coltrane's last works, and some of his most experimental. Its all duets between himself on saxophone and Rashied Ali on drums. Most of it moves at a blistering pace, with the drums and sax just hammering and flying all over the place and each other. I first heard the piece being interpreted by Nels Cline and Greg Bendian on guitar and drums, respectively. I saw them live and they were so incredible I grabbed their recording on CD right at the show. I've been trying to get my hands on Coltrane's original for a couple years now, but its been hard to find. I'm surprised at how easy its been to compare the original to the guitar interpretation, considering how heavily the piece leans on the improvisational skills of the players.

Lastly there's the Dub collection. I really got into dub when it resurged in the nineties with a techno feel, with bands like Twilight Circus, Kruder and Dorfmeister, etc. I had heard very little original generation dub from the 70's, so when I saw this comp cd I figured, "What the Hell." Turns out this CD is MONSTER. Definitely the big surprise of the bunch. Its got tracks by Lee Perry, the Upsetters, and King Tubby and the Aggrovators, among many. It rocks and rolls and rocks some more. A definite good start for anyone who is interested in dub (for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, dub is where reggae producers took reggae tracks, then looped, sampled, spliced, and added affects to them, all on the fly, and all while recording the entire process. Its like a producer playing with his recording equipment like intruments themselves, shredding the reggae track into a psychedelic, reverb and effect drenched dance tune. The final product sounds not unlike a slow organic techno, and in fact would come back to popularity with the big techno movement in the nineties, as DJs and musicians modernized the sound with even spacier electronic techniques and effects. Very cool stuff.).

Anyway, I highly recommend all the artists I've displayed.

[StonedWheat]

I just bought some old slightly obscure hip-hop stuff. Someone recommended me "Cormega - The realness". I don't really like it that much. Maybe I just haven't absorbed it yet. I went through some amazon "must have" lists and also bought "People under the stairs - O.c.b." and "raekwon - only built for cuban lynx" I really really really really like the People under the stairs album.
