>yeah you see when you say R Kelly it makes me really crawl and that kinda
crap crates me >up the wrong way but like techno I shouldn't listen to a
track and hate it and then say >naa I hate techno cos I don't so I try to
listen to it and not sum it up as it being R&B, >sorry Andrew SOUL.. :)
Haha, thanks Ian! I guess I should clarify - what was referred to as
'pleading music', basically the soul version of cheesy stuff like Paul Van
Dyk etc., is what I label in my head as 'R & B'. And then tracks like 'You
Don't Know My Name', D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Badu, Kindred, Tweet, Balil,
Raphael Saadiq, and the 'Organic' crew I call SOUL! I don't like to lump in
all these artists together just because they're recording in the same era,
for me they are getting at something completely different.
So there. :)

There's a lot of RnB (R Kelly is the prime suspect), that is truly
horrible - what Tristan calls 'pleading' music - 'ooooooh babeeeee
pleeeeeeeese taaaaake mee baak' but there are some fresh producers out there
seeing the likes of Kelly off.

I find most r&b too slick but I picked up the Cody Chestnutt
CD <Headphone masterpiece> a while ago and it rocks. Self produced in a
bedroom studio on a 4 track...alegedly. But an good listen.

is this the Armand Van Helden one? if so I agree I
don't really like it

Blackwater is soaring,
beautiful, and melancholy than that track and its
techno :)

I soooo not agree. I think it's cheesy and
cheap.... If Techno would
ever
evoke these feelings in me, I would not like
it.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY NAME IS THE BEST SONG I'VE
HEARD IN AGES!!!!!
My god what a heartbreaker! Techno has a
hard time inspiring the
same
emotions, generally speaking of
course...there's such _ambition_ in
a song
like 'You Don't Know My Name', it's soaring,
beautiful, and
melancholy.

Well every time I mention a hip-hop/R&B CD
here Carl Craig ends up
charting
it or playing it, so... ;) I think that
'chipmunk' thing came from
RZA
distorting samples, I like it, but there's
none of that on West
productions
like You Don't Know My Name by A Keys (a
Theo Parrish fave
incidentally) or
Encore by Jay-Z, etc. The album is superb.
