Probably their weakest song, but Deee-Lite has some worthy funk cuts.
Fun for parties, anyway.
DJ Dmitri did a grooving Russian improv babble over a Sakamoto cut, also.
Towa did a smooth cool though not particularly innov full-length of
acid-jazzy matter.
These Asian cats must lose the obsession with rap, however.
The Sakamoto rap album was just an embarassment.
A misguided attempt at hipness.
Sakamoto doesn't need to prove anything - he should just do his own thing.
Rap is done - it's mutated into the stagnant/ultraviolent or the pop/kitsch.
It was probably done before it began.
Hip-hop riddimz are another matter.
This probably means that in four years time, the IDM greats will do a remix
album of "Macarena". A rash of IDM list suicides will ensue, and the list
will be decimated. Such is the inevitable and tragic fate of Artistic
Puritans.
