Yo,
I have many matters to discuss:
1)Does anyone know what happened to Req (erstwhile?) of Skint records? He
had an album slated for summer 2001 release called 'Car Paint Scheme', but
appears to have vanished from the face of the earth. There was a rumbling
about a single with Kid Acne... His website doesn't give many clues.
I sent a post to the moderated list on this note, but they're all bastards
and didn't help. Bloody Canadians...
2)I'm looking for a list similar to this one dealing in hip-hop (preferably
not too overground - Kool Keith, Mr Lif, stuff like that?). Anyone got any
clues? Also, a drum and bass one would be nice; again, none of the cheese
that seems to be creeping back into it these days - Teebee, Dom & Roland etc
is my cup of char.
3)On that note, I just got 'Properties' by Quoit, which is Mick Harris doing
industrial d&b - very nice indeed. If anyone liked the stuff he did with
Eraldo Bernocchi I can totally recommend it.
What's our favourite Brummie been up to? The last thing I got got was
'Greetings From Birmingham', which was his trademark industrial hip hop
stuff. Slighly eclipsed by the superior remixes by Surgeon and Xingu Hill, I
thought. Does he have any material with the same raw percussion but
something a little more melodic than a creaking door?
4)What label is the Machine Drum album on?
Can you get it on vinyl?
5) Can anyone recommend any free sites where I can download Spoken Word
samples (the kind you might play over mixing)?
6) The 'Now Thing' compilation on Mo' Wax completely blew my mind and was by
far the best thing I heard last year (I thought, contrary, it would seem, to
all of you, that 2001 was a pretty crap year in music, by the way). Can
anyone list any similar releases which aren't impossible to get?
I think that's about enough to be getting on with.
Cheers, peeps,
Poppa.
