i just dont know what to say about this description of love and
war. IMO nothing is generic about anything about it. perhaps the
old quote he used in the lyrics is a little familiar, but i think
that was the point.

you sound like this one friend of mine who doesnt like anything
that doesnt have a very straightforward beat to it. personally i
like more variety in my beats.

i really dont see how any of this music is "generic". but you know
amp fiddler plays keys on at least one and probably more tracks on
that album.
really i dont know what to say. i have both amp fiddler 12"s in my
box, the amp dog knights, the detroit experiment LP with amp on
it, and the moodymann tracks with amp on them, and theyre probably
most of the best new tracks i have.
