hahaha thank you dave!
andy, you can like it and i wont think less of you! :) many (deaf!! :P) 
really good friends on here dig amp a lot too. i'm not consciously comparing 
it to anything. music stands on its own and so do opinions. my ears hear 
what they hear. it has elements of jazz, house, soul/rb, etc etc. a great 
combination it would seem, which is why i am/was interested. but it comes 
out terribly disappointing and uninspired and overly familiar _to my ears_. 
your mileage may vary and all that. it IS generic sounding _to me_ -- even 
if the combination of genres seems to defy that, the sounds themselves dont. 
somehow, my brain tells my ears i have heard it before -- even if the 
different sounds were never together in quite the same way before, i still 
recognize them and dont like them, on their own, together, either way. and 
in any case, if it was a generic record of sounds i liked...but i just plain 
dont like the sounds or vocals. coming at it as a jazz record or an rb 
record or a house record does not change how it sounds or how i hear it. if 
i tried to hear it as whatever unique new hybrid genre it may be i'd still 
hear the same thing. it does not have that much character, to me. nothing 
you're saying makes it sound any better, to me. enough people have already 
given amp props that i dont think you need to defend your opinion...but i am 
a potential fan of this music for stated reasons, and i was wayyy 
disappointed. enough said!!

jt



Yeah, I agree completely with JT's comments, as a long time jazz player
and fan I notice that some of the jazzier things seem more hype to
others on this list than to myself, and I think maybe it's because my
background and jazz makes me a little harder to impress with releases
that go in that directions.  It's so easy to sound like noodly lounge
music in this genre!!!  Haven't heard the new amp fiddler record so I
can't comment on that specifically.  But, well I'll just keep my opinion
on his cover of Too High to myself.  ;)

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.

what lyrics?? i heard lovv and some scatting..?? quote? guess i
need
to listen again...? but i just dont even like his voice or his
delivery..syruppy, too smooth not enough real feeling..to my ears! it's
a
subtle thing.

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.

if its fresh to you then great. not generic? well, i have heard
thousands
and thousands of jazz records. i sell them for a living. so maybe it's
unfortunate but i dont hear anything but limp playing/ideas, heard it
1000
times before kinda stuff, as far as the jazz elements go. as far as his
voice i hear a alot of rb classic vocalists distilled into something
generic. its not amps fault his voice sounds the way it does but it
doesnt
grab me at all. i gotta say i am not very enthusiastic about the jazzy
kdj
stuff either, but usually it comes together better, progresses, etc etc
so
that it doesnt bug me and hits me better. it's a subtle thing. sometimes

playing/singing this kind of cheese gets by with me, other times it
makes me
cringe and run to pick up the needle..

box, the amp dog knights, the detroit experiment LP with amp on

a lot of the jazz on detroit experiment falls flat as well imo! sorry. i

know at least a few people on here who are into jazz agree with me..
i much prefer russ gabriel's recent stuff. if he hooked up with a nice
rb
vocalist i think it could be in the same area as amp but blow him out of
the
water.

if i wasnt extremely disappointed with it i wouldnt have said
anything...

2003-07-07 Thread David Powers
I didn't mean his comments specific to the record, but he ended with
some general comments on his perspective as someone really versed in
jazz.

Detroit Experiment I was really only feeling a couple tracks, it seemed
pretty cut and dried, like stuff that has already been done better by
Herbie Hancock in the 70s which is a real pinnacle of music for me.
Herbie is sick!  I don't mean to knock the talent of any of those
musicians on the Detroit Experiment btw, it is just an opinion.  A song
like Too High though which Amp Fiddler remade, well I wasn't feeling
his voice and you better be damn fresh if you are going to remake a
Stevie song.  I wish they would have had Stevie sing on a remake of his
song, now THAT would have got me excited!

How can you completley agree with JTs comments when he spent most of
the post
picking apart a record you havent listend to yet? 
Its easy to shrug ones shoulders and say there will always be generic
music
within any given genre, but to make or support a critical agrument
about an

I also know very little about jazz compared
to most, so maybe I don't have the same distaste as a more
typical jazz
head might. 

i think being too involved emotionally with any given style of
music creates a distaste for certain sounds. when i was really
into drum and bass, the left field style drum and bass didnt
really appeal to me at all. neither did the second reprazent LP.
now that im emotionally detatched from that, it seems what i can
tolerate within that genre is much more varied. thats why i make
no pledges of allegiance to any genres now, i just like it funky : ) 

I
like Freakin, reminds me of a cut you'd hear coming out of someone's
trunk at a BBQ in the summer, recalls a Fatback or SOS Band vibe
almost.

yeah, i really like that track alot as well. 

PS - I love Detroit Experiment as one of the whole greater than
the sum
of the parts thing, each track is a little different and the crazy
influences do come out individually AND collectively (to me). 
Midnight

 Herbie is sick!  

I am telling you Midnight at Twenty Grand is the cut!!  Such a moody
detroity soundtrack, I can imagine driving into the city to that one, or
looking out a rooftop across the city on a warm night outside.  

BTW - Totally agree about Herbie... not trying to take anything away
from him. But as a proponent of future music (esp. of the detroit
flavor) I can't just sit back and say well that sound has been done
better 30 years ago by someone else so why bother.  I want people to
keep pushing, I want to hear someone who'll in 30 more years have blown
Herbie away... hey I know it's far fetched but you know what I mean.
Once you have the Herbie moments on vinyl you need, there's plenty of
places and trajectories he's launched forward... I want to seek out
where those seeds landed and who is taking it forward... on the
electronic tip especially.  Ayro seems promising...

So you jazz fans, how about the top 3-5 must have Herbie Hancock LPs

I'm stunned. I really can't believe anyone doesn't love this record. When I
played it for my friend Ben, who doesn't really pay attention to anything
electronic and is generally uninterested in it, I had to rip the headphones
off his head. When I played it out a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends
who fiercely hates vocals in house was cheering me on. It's useless for me
to reiterate Tom (Andy ;)'s points, b/c I think he's said it all perfectly,
but Dave, please give this a listen, b/c I wouldn't characterize anything
about it as jazzy in anything more than the vaguest sense. It is pure funk.
The keys that come in 1/2-way through are gorgeous. Perhaps they're simple,
but they are as effective as anything Moodymann has ever done on his own and
then some. The precise moment that they enter confirms the perfect
arrangement of this record. I have heard it at least 50 times now, and every
time that his keys come in I get a tingle in my spine. It does it for me in
every way. J.T., we're really butting heads recently, aren't we. ;) Oh, and
his live set was bar-none the best moment of the festival for me. Nothing
else was even close - other than maybe Traxx @ Cannonball.

There is no point in doing LFO again if they are not going to do 
LFO again(at least in a similar vein).


If they are going to do something else then it would probably be a good 
idea to use a different moniker since LFO is so, well, LFO


It would be like Hawtin using the Plastikman moniker to do FUSE stuff 
or vice-versa.

Head Hunters is the next must have.  So completely influenced by 60s soul,

Aha! I also just got back home from this (3.30am) - another deeply 
affecting set from Alan. I hadn't had a good dance for ages until 
tonight - still buzzing in fact!
If anyone gets the chance to check him out do so without fail, his 
live sets have never dissapointed, as Tristan said, something primal 
about them that's irrestible. He's also releasing stuff on Sud as 
well as Background BTW.


Any other 313ers present apart from Tristan?

Seen him a few times in the last year, including tonight, and his sets are
always wicked. He injects something primal into clicks 'n cuts. It's great.

I'm stunned. I really can't believe anyone doesn't love this record. When I


alright, ok, i'm an idiot then! :P
i listened to it again and gave it more of a chance...i must admit the 
lyrics are decent, dunno why i didnt notice them the first time, nice 
message yeah. i guess i only heard the things i didnt like -- the smoky 
horns, the very nice/typical keys (sorry, its just a scale! nicely played 
but too nice! loungey..spine tingling?? ookkk :P), and the vocal delivery in 
general (btw there are bits of scatting in there matt, not much but a 
little) to say its not jazzy is to ignore the smoky horns and loungey keys 
and scatty bits, but i agree lovewar isnt really very jazzy overall, or 
housey, or even that rb tho, its more like old soul because of the 
vocals...i really wanna like it, and now after being treated like a moron 
for not liking it, i almost cant help it :P it's very good but it just dont 
do much for me, even now that i feel stupid about it. the parts i dont like 
go a long ways towards turning me off to the whole thing. i dont like that 
loungey leaning sound (like dave mentioned..) and it's very _nice_ stuff -- 
there's no twist...too damn nice! i do like the dub better, didnt even 
listen to it the first time i played the record. the beat does drop to just 
sticks and has a lot more happening, nice snares etc etc. alright. i'll hold 
onto it a little while maybe it'll grow on me.


i still just aint feeling amp's vocals either tho. very much like old soul 
but without any rough edges and sounding a bit overcooked...imo! t 
smooth and smoky. i bet he was great live without the studio smoothness. the 
record is all close but no cigar to me...i do like it more now that i hear 
what the lyrics are saying tho.


i'll review some other stuff i really do like soon. so far out of an order 
of 30 records this is the only thing i'm not very happy with.

My favourites: Empyrean Isles is far better than Maiden Voyage. The
Prisoner  Speak Like A Child are gorgeous, layered post bop lps. The
Japanese only Dedication for the fantastic solo Nobu - and of the later
electronic ones, my pick would be Sextant. Though all of Sextant,
Mwandishi and Crossings are essential. I prefer this stuff to
Headhunters and later. Saying that, most later albums have some track that
makes it all worthwhile. If you can track them down, pick up the 12s of
Stars In Your Eyes (promo for the extended mix) and Magic Number. There
was a really tedious South Bank show (UK ITV) on Herbie Hancock last week.
It didn't encourage me to run and grab his recent stuff.

RE: (313) Herbie H

2003-07-07 Thread alex . bond

BTW - Totally agree about Herbie... not trying to take anything away
from him. But as a proponent of future music (esp. of the detroit
flavor) I can't just sit back and say well that sound has been done
better 30 years ago by someone else so why bother.  I want people to
keep pushing, I want to hear someone who'll in 30 more years have blown
Herbie away... hey I know it's far fetched but you know what I mean.
Once you have the Herbie moments on vinyl you need, there's plenty of
places and trajectories he's launched forward... I want to seek out
where those seeds landed and who is taking it forward... on the
electronic tip especially.  Ayro seems promising...

Talking of Herbie - did anyone in the UK see the 'South Bank Show' last
Sunday?
They did a special on him. Loads of wicked old footage of him in the
70's/80's.
Lots of interesting insights too.

I've got a few Herbie H LP's and 12's. Although I tend to find myself
liking the LP's that he did that weren't necessarily trad jazz lps. He said
in the documentary that every so often he does a project thats 'now' and
deliberately goes out to make an LP with a particular sound as opposed to
something he might do that he feels is him. I think the Sunlight LP (which
I really like) was his take on disco etc etc, and then other LP's for diff.
genres e.g. Headhunters for funk etc. I also like the LP with Magic Number
on - something windows its called.

I dunno, I know nothing about jazz. I have a few Miles Davis LPs, some
Pharoh Sanders stuff and that, but I've never been able to find much more
stuff that I'm really enthusistic about (mainly because I don't even know
what to look for). 'In a Silent way' is something I like...

Maybe JT can recommend some stuff for us for the list? or anyone else? top
5 jazz lp's to find that we might like??
would be interested to know.

The keys that come in 1/2-way through are gorgeous. Perhaps they're
simple,
but they are as effective as anything Moodymann has ever done on his own

then some. The precise moment that they enter confirms the perfect
arrangement of this record. I have heard it at least 50 times now, and
every
time that his keys come in I get a tingle in my spine. It does it for me
in
every way. J.T., we're really butting heads recently, aren't we. ;) Oh,

his live set was bar-none the best moment of the festival for me.
Nothing

RE: (313) Richie's hair was (313) Richie Hawtin in Toronto June 3 0

2003-07-07 Thread Grammenos, Peter

He bandged it out in nyc for the muscle 'headz' on sat night, but played
more concept type stuff from 5-8am, lots of volume fading and edits played
from his laptop. He also has those extra knobs on the xone:62 mixer of his.
Magda played before him and dropped some new tracks that local nyc producers
have made, but the track that did it for me was the new plastikman stuff...
I was in the booth at the time when she dropped it and everyone stopped what
they were doing and looked at one another, jaws down to the floor... Really
cool stuff.

I heard clark drop lots of brinkman and the original freakbox in the back.

Cool night.

Saw Richie last night in Baltimore.  I had heard that he was growing out his

hair but OH MY GOD, I didn't expect a full head of hair cut in a sort of 
geeky 1960's clean cut boy next door style.

This was the first time I have seen him playing a set that wasn't an all out

heavy banging till your head and chest hurt. Much more minimal and almost 
quiet, more of a head nodding than dancing set.

_not_ _his_ _party_.  i've seen him at megarave events where there were
giant inflatable animals hanging from the ceiling.  he played some candy 
rave thing in texas last year where there were carnival rides.  seriously.

as to whether he can veto these things: no.  being who he is he'll 
probably
have some degree of influence, but he's a contractor in these 
circumstances, not the guy in charge.

maybe the fact that the control series of parties -- which originated 
in
detroit, were 100% his events, and therefore completely under his creative 
control -- has morphed into a portable performance technique with the same 
name is what's tripping you up.  don't expect to see a 'richie' party just 
because he's there, unless it's been put on by Minus.  and more than 
likely, is taking place in detroit.

 what strikes me most about some of the 
 criticisms of this record is that they appear to be 
 out of proportion relative to both its strengths *and* 
 its weaknesses! Is something else going on here!?!

Oh god Ken, why does there always have to be a conspiracy behind
everything ?  That last line is out of order.  

I like the record but if someone (else whose opinion on music I respect
A LOT, by the way)  DOESN'T like it, I'm not going to think it's for
some dark and mysterious ulterior motive... some records just hit
different people differently!  SHeesh folks...

 my criticisms probably usually 
 come off as out of proportion and agro 

actually I felt the tone was more like a couple of headz sitting around
a record store dropping needles on stuff and just BS'ing about the
releases and relative hype or substance of various stuff, I thought it
was funny :)

 just me being a picky opinionated mofo, please dont 
 take me too seriously i say all this crap with 
 a big smirk...dont mean anything by it..just way 
 opinionated about some things...

and we wouldn't have it any other way!  Stop apologizing for it JT..
opinions challenge assumptions and this has been a good thread!  It's
drawn out a lot of good discussions about the merits and shortcomings of
said record! 

 nice reviews on the new bleep43 ken :) but i am

 So you jazz fans, how about the top 3-5 must have Herbie

Maiden Voyage is a standout LP and track.  Sublime mid 60s jazz

Head Hunters is the next must have.  So completely influenced
by 60s soul,
and so influential on 70s funk and jazz.  You know the bassline for
Chameleon by heart even if you don't recognize the title. 
Trippy synth
solos abound.

I heard Sunlight on a Shake or CC mix and had to track down the
1977
release.  Commercial, mildly funky, and so loaded with antique
gear it'll
make your head spin.  Warning:  vocoder in FULL effect.

Most people point to Rockit from Future Shock next.  An

I've got Extensions by Tyner which has a great line-up of Alice Coltrane
on harp (wife of John), Elvin Jones on drums, Wayne Shorter and Gary Bartz

however, if you want to hear one, if not the greatest trumpet player look
for Clifford Brown - if he had lived longer he might very well have

he points quite a couple of records out, and even describes them, so you've 
got a vague idea what you're buying.
and even if kirk's favorites turn out not to be your personal favorites, 
they'll help you find what you're looking for. as that's always been my main 
problem: where to start?


oh, and when digging for unknown artists; always go for the funky looking 
bands, and guys with beards, you'll never fail ;^)

I was going to ask if anyone had any strong recommendations on jazz from
after the 70s. Andrew Hill's album from 2002, Dusk, is a firm favourite of
mine - I'm listening to it for about the 200th time as I type. It isn't
Marsalis style classic jazz, it isn't noisy art made for Wire readers, it's
just ace. Much like Joe Henderson (yes OK, Jurren so what? ;) Andrew Hill
just focused on his own musical personality, without caring much for
fashion. That's a good signal that Here-lies-great-music if you ask me.
Anyone else got some hot late jazz tips?

  The 12 features both Kerri mixes on the 2x12 - they might slightly
  differ - plus instrumental and beats mixes of both. 3 tracks on each
 side,
  which isn't so great. But if, like me, you're only after those mixes
and
  have already grabbed the Pepe Bradock ones then it's better value than
 the
  LP.
 
  is the cc mix on the same 12 with the pepe mixes? it is, isnt it?
  what about the chateau flight? is that LP only? shame if so...
  yeah the LP was muy expensivo, a couple friends are gonna want this
stuff
 so
  i'll point them to the seperate 12s...do they have nice covers too?
just
  curious, the LP cover is so nice (but not worth an extra $10!)

 Yep, CC + Pepe Bradock. The FK remix came out about 5 or 6 years ago, too.
 Beyond that everything is exclusive to the LP, AFAIK.

I just heard the FK and Joe Clausell one the other day. It was a bit bland
and noodly IMHO. If anyone's hunting it down, they have a copy @ Apple
Records in Croydon (UK), and they do mail order.

There is a Kerri Chandler remix 12 with 5 versions that came out a week or
two before the album. Had I known the album was coming out, I would've
waited, although the Alternate version on the 12 is better than the album
version (also IMHO ;), but not a whole lot different really. Other than the
Pepe and C2 remixes, the Senor Coconut version on the album is pretty cool,
and I think I liked the new FK version. Only scanned the album once so far
though, so these reviews are subject to revision. ;)

Re: (313) Late jazz?

2003-07-07 Thread David Powers
Some jazz I really like.

I posted on Herbie but I'm not sure it came through.  So I'll repeat it:  
Mwandishu, Crossings, and of course the super funky Fat Albert Rotunda are my 
favorite albums by him.

John Zorn's Masada group.  It's not exactly jazz but it is definitely amazing.

Everything Charles Mingus ever did.

Muhal Richard Abrams big band.  One of the Chicago guys who has been really 
adept at combining music rooted in the Afro-American tradition with more 
experimental sounds.  Also along this line, try anything with Roscoe Mitchell, 
or stuff by the Art Ensemble of Chicago.  

Stuff by Henry Threadgill, from the 80s through now.  This guy is another of 
those Chicago cats, and some of his compositions are just totally wild.  His 
band Very Very Circus had 2 drummers, two tubas, and two guitars among other 
things.  Not every album is on the same level, but the majority of his stuff is 
just killer, unlike anything else I have ever heard.  I would strongly urge you 
to check him out.

Solo albums of world jazz by Don Cherry (formerly with Ornette Coleman).

If you're the adventurous type, try Cecil Taylor, Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton, 
etc.

Oh, I would also say that Andrew Hill has always been a great piano player and 
has matured to create a quite intriguing sound as of late that to me is more 
interesting than his classic blue note albums.


Dave

There was only one Planet E release AFAIK, but it came out twice - the
original pressing is very hard to find but the blue vinyl repress is much
more widely available.

I think Dytiq was exclusive to the New Electronica compilation - which would
make sense as the comp is called Unreleased 1 :)

RE: (313) club sodade

2003-07-07 Thread Sylvia

Cesaria Evora is Brazilian

Since when ? That's for sure I missed something...
Cesaria comes from Cabo Verde.

Official Cabo Verde language is Portuguese.
And yes they have dialects in Cabo Verde.
But no, Brazilian language is not a dialect.
And yes we have dialects in Brazil.

I already hear the question: where is located Cabo Verde?
Well,  the Archipelago of Cabo Verde is
located 450 km off the coast of Senegal (west Africa),
it is composed of 10 islands and 8 islets.

A very brief history.

Between 170 and 210 million people speak Portuguese throughout the world
today.
Portuguese ranks eighth among the most spoken languages in the world
(third among the western languages, after English and Castilian)
and is the official language of seven countries: Angola (10.3 million
inhabitants),
Brazil (151 million), Cabo Verde (346,000), Guinea-Bissau (1 million),
Mozambique (15.3 million), Portugal (9.9 million),
and São Tomé and Príncipe islands (126,000).

During the 18th century, other differences between
the American and European Portuguese developed.
At that time Brazilian Portuguese failed to adopt linguistic
changes taking place in Portugal produced by French influence.
The Brazilian Portuguese remained loyal to the pronunciation
sed at the time of its discovery.

In the 20th century, the split between the Portuguese and Brazilian variants
of Portuguese
heightened as the result of new words for technological innovations.
This happened because Portuguese lacked a uniform procedure for adopting
such words.
Certain words took different forms in different countries.
For example: in Portugal one hears comboio,
and in Brazil one hears trem, both meaning train.
Autocarro in Portugal is the same thing as ônibus in Brazil,
both meaning bus.
In the vast noncontiguous areas of the world where Portuguese
is spoken there are differences and variations in the pronunciation,
grammar and vocabulary (this is the case with every living language).
Though we cannot deny these differences, they are not sufficient
to challenge the basic structure of the language. Despite its history,
Portuguese continues to maintain its considerable cohesion among its many
variations.


Brit/American: lay by/rest area, petrol/gasoline,
lorry/truck, minerals/soft drinks

Well that's for sure American is an English dialect.

a language is a dialect promoted by élites.
