1. the other night i was listening to an old cd of mine, the first Gang Starr
album _No More Mr. Nice Guy_ and i heard one of the most sublime tracks,which i
had forgotten about for a while. has anyone on this list ever heard "DJ Premie
r in Deep Concentration"? that is an amazing track... far better than any thing
i've heard in the new "trip-hop" bloom. does anyone know of similar tracks,
engaging instrumental hip-hop produced before such stuff became trendy? i think
perhaps MC900ft. Jesus "Shut Up" qualifies also, though that's in a different
vein.
1a. obidm: autechre ripped off "Deep concentration". well, they used the same
piano loop. Gang Starr's is far better, IMO.
2. Do Children of the Bong indeed have a new full-length out? Anyone heard it
, have reviews/opinions? Are they funk-influenced at all, or am i thinking of a
completely different group?
