Ice Cold Music

Ran into some magazine friends on the way to coffee, doing their little man on the street segment. One of the questions: what is your favorite album of 2003? Er, um, yeah, um... damn I actually ended up saying Outkast. Are things really like that? Don't get me wrong, the album is hot. But underneath all the dirty south heat and fuzz its also so... ice cold. I can't shake this feeling that Andre isn't really flying the freak flag high, he's just acting the part. And he's not quite sure if he want's to play Prince or play Iceberg Slim. Compared to this live D'angelo bootleg looked in my Winamp he's just faking the funk, and doing a damn good job. I'll take it for now, but damn... What else is there, 50 Cent? too thug. Beyonce? too much filler and the two of her best songs are albumless bootlegs (the In the Club cover and Ghostface's Summertime). White Stripes? too much of the same thing. The Rapture? probably not going to actually come out till 2007, really should have followed their tour selling CD-Rs. Manu Chao? Same live set that's been on bootlegs for 2 years now. Sure one of the Swisha House CD's captures the skrewed and crunk perfectly, but there are too many to deal with... And no, I will not mention any of that wannabe hip hop out of east London. But Playgroup's Partymix captured the year's zeitgeist best, with a bunch of semi-obscure eightie's dance tracks... 3 months left... Posted by Abe at October 4, 2003 06:22 PM | TrackBack

Damn. I was gonna say Hallucinogen: In Dub (which is wicked if you haven't heard it... mind bending dub remixes of Posford's stuff by Ott). Other than that... Cex? Prefuse? There's a new Aesop Rock out that I haven't heard yet.

For some reason it seems like I'm forgeting something really obvious... I may be getting back to you on this one.

As far as i'm concerned Prefuse should be twiddling the knobs on his radio as far away from me as possible, thank you.

Hallucingen on the other hand is awesome, close to the only psytrance I like, should have my hands on the Dub album by morning, thank you.

Don't like the sound of Aesop's voice, two monotonous, never could get into it. Cex I haven't given enough time, never been a Tigerbeat fan, although Crack W.A.R. are good fun.

I left out the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs from the post. But yeah I want more. I'm praying Ghostface comes through.

Oops, what I meant to say was that I was going to say In Dub, but it turns out it came out last year, I just did't find out about it until this year.

Let me know what you think of that album... it doesn't sound much like Hallucinogen, more along the lines of Shpongle. It appears Ott has his first solo album out... should be tasty.

In dub is pretty solid on the first listen, man still blows the rest of the psytrance world back to those obscure beaches where they belong...
