you wrote (as a counterargument perhaps against Tom. J.):
Listen to T-Power's 'the self evident....' released in 1995....
This album is totally overrated. Mediocre at best. Super predictable (and
OVERused) samples, (Let's see, we've got Conan, Bugs Bunny, and oh yeah
don't forget the obligatory 'cool' Bladerunner sample), no method to the
madness regarding the drum programming (ie gets annoying after the first
few tracks), and if you are implying TJ's jazz fusion skills are inferioir
to Tpower's (and coming later and thus not as innovative), well that's
just plain nonsense.
The record just doesn't flow. And some records (in the experimental dnb
side) aren't supposed to flow, like AFX's fungle, but I think Tpower's
trying to flow, but failing.
