Sounds like a tools album to me. And not a very interesting one. There's even a couple that sound like less interesting versions of some old jack trax. I like a lot of omars stuff and own even more, but I don't play it out often because his levels are crap and sometimes I don't even have the headroom on the mixer to tweak it so it doesn't sound like a huge sonic chunk drops out when you cut to his joint. Albeit when I do, (and I can get the highs and mids sounding clear with the bass NOT sounding like it's pressed against a brick wall)...it goes the fxck off. He'll get it right soon. Once he learns to a-b monitors for consistency and care about final mixdowns. This one was mostly a letdown though. His sound doesn't seem to be evolving and there's not enough to it to stay interesting. I almost feel like two of these are beats tracks for previous omar joints. Maybe I just expected more...dunno. that Marcellus though...tom's on the money with the "a mix" whoooo!
Okay actually I think there's a much shorter way to say all that. The Marcellus track can create a mood from anywhere. I can hear it and it activates a full mood. I think omars latest is a mood extender, meaning if you're not in that space already, it might sound dead flat, but if the mood is on & hot already, it'll bump it into the next terrain. But it doesn't initiate. Zat make any sense to anyone? k -----Original Message----- From: robin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 11:27 AM To: Mark Cullen Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) new Omar-S > And, as im on the digest someone may already have posted this, but just > in case... > new Omar-S > http://omarsdetroit.us/lps.html Thanks for the headsup Mark. Didn't I read on his myspace page that he was doing hiphop from now on (probs meaning the 110 ep)? This (111) sounds like house to me :) An observation not a complaint, mind :) Funnily enough I was going to post this morning how I'd got bored of the whole Omar S sound and his over use of loops (I've got pretty much everything he's done though so I do like something about it). I guess I need to hear this stuff on a PA though. No-one I know of plays it though.... robin...
