I think I recommend this any time someone likes scarlet diva, but definitely
check out Bill Ding's "Trust in God but Tie Up Your Camel" on Hefty if you
haven't already, especially if you dig on Hughes' downtempo
Beck-meets-Isaac-Hayes funk vox. One of my all time fave albums, with quite
a bit of proto-Slicker electronics and rhythms.
Cheers,

on the other hand, the scarlet diva soundtrack on hefty records i got is
fantastic. john hughes is credited as the main composer, but john mcentire
of tortoise and scott herren (aka prefuse 73 and delarosa & asora) help out
with the majority of the tracks, along with a cellist, trombonist and
percussionist. hughes sings on a bunch of the tracks, which turn out to
resemble a funked-up and electrified sea and cake. the rest is pure
noise-acoustic bliss. so seamless that for most of the album, you can't
even tell whether the instruments are electronic or acoustic. the style
inherent in this album is superb and influenced by a great many musics, and
the meeting of scott herren and mcentire on electronics is a match made in
heaven. wonderful and brilliant...
