he he, no. . .of course quite a bit of SP from early on had a definite
fusion, um, infusion (the most obvious point of reference being jaco
pastorius circa Heavy Weather. some of this stuff sounds uncannily like
some of HND).
personally, i liked the big loada beats WITH the fusiony stuff. THAT was a
truly original sound that he had going. teh newer stuff is just too noodly
and self-conscious sounding. the older stuff, while certainly noodly in
places, was also ruff as fuck. i just thought that i worked really well,
and his new stuff doesn't get to me as much. hardly at all, actually.
now the new animals on wheels. now THERE'S a drill-and-bass poster boy
who's managed to craft a downtempo, minimal post '96 thing that i can really
sink my teeth into. the new CD is comparable to new SP, except that with
AoW i don't feel like i'm being "taught" anything, just "entertained", which
is nice when i want to be entertained.
i know, i'm making fairly obvious points that have probably already been
discussed to death already.
