so now i'm listening to the Broken Soul full-length thanks to slsk (but no worries-- I'm buying this one as soon as it hits on vinyl).
freakin' awesome beats-- i think a good progression from the Diggin in Brownswood EP. maybe it's just me, but with some bnb stuff, i can't really feel the groove and it feels like jazzy IDM/breakcore, but a lot of these tracks are really pretty housey but without the explicit 4/4 kix, snare, hats (if that makes any sense and doesn't sound totally obvious/stupid). a question: i know a lot of the Madlib stuff is fairly sample-based. How about the DJ Rels & Monk Hughes records? I am certainly not intimate with the whole Pharoah Sanders back catalog, but haven't recognized a single sample on either album.
