Re: 2008 so far.
You all needed to listen to Does It Offend You, Yeah?'s You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into at least a month ago. I love this album. It's like Digitalism only better, more consistent, and more exciting.

Re: 2008 so far.
until then, I'll keep it going...
I don't know if its M.I.A. or some other semaphore to the music industry that the third world is actually capable of making marketable music, but here we are with 3 great releases from the soundway label available at your favorite local snooty indie music shoppe. (at least that's where I found mine) The releases are brilliant because they are quintessentially african sounds crafted into the best music movements to come out of the states and the uk for the entire 70's. So they will tweak your ears enough to sound fresh, the way maybe herbert legitimized big band music for the club kids. Only they aren't the sounds of a dj savant in a musical sandbox. They are heartbreakingly sincere musicians evoking the very sweat and lights of a parallel club which you long to be a part. All A+'s Nigeria Disco Funk Special: Sound of the Underground Lagos Dancefloor 1974-1979 Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds and Nigerian Blues Nigeria Rock Special youtube : Kraak & Smaak are not going to bring world peace or defy all conventions, they are, however, great at what they do. dance floor songwriting in the tradition of bent or lemonjelly B+

I think these are terrible and sum up everything that's wrong with the 'new rave' sound today. They're not a patch on Justice or Digitalism and sound to me like a normal indie band who thought they'd jump on a bandwagon. This review sums them up perfectly, imo: Quote:

Re: 2008 so far.
my favs so far--
Trimski Soulfood Vol.3 Former Roll Deep member with an ectoplasmic flow. A very strange, introspective, and inspired mixtape with highlights such as the mental 8-bit "The Low-Dan" and sino-dubstep collabo "The Bits" with Dusk & Blackdown. There's also an indirect diss to Dizzee Rascal in "It's A Cold World" that strikes me as quite hurtful. Portishead Third Flying Lotus Los Angeles The Bug London Zoo JME Famous? Tinchy Stryder Cloud 9: The EP Jammer Are You Dumb? Volume 3 More grime that should really be reaching a wider audience than it probably has. JME and Tinchy both have star potential; Jammer's mixtape is just out of control and reminds me of Elephant Man or Ward 21 albums at their most hedonistic. Grouper Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill Ghostly, meditative, kind of perplexing folk record. Times New Viking Rip It Off Loud 90s-style indie record with a punk sensibility in its abrasive recording techniques & the length of the songs ... I think I like this better than the No Age record from this year, it sounds even more unstable & urgent. V/A Subtle Audio Vol. 1 Melancholic artcore drum & bass compilation. Re-releases of old stuff: Gas Nah Und Fern Despite its cloaked, muffled sound, techno that's big and massive and important-sounding (an antidote for these confusing times). A Guy Called Gerald Black Secret Technology Ragga Twins Step Out I haven't heard this, but it's probably awesome. |

Re: 2008 so far.
Agreed. It's otherwordly. It scares me. And also, even with so few elements, he creates so many colours and vibes, it's amazing

And, forgive me (I wouldn't sample, edit, spin, adjust-to-my-taste, etc. your words even if I could), but this would be so much more right if you used the "wrong" before bandwagon.
