Those just for introduction, there is great stuff to dig much deeper as well

Man I forgot that I used to play that Yesterday’s New Quintet album all the time. Need to check the others - thanks.

Interesting article here that dives a bit into his history with Dilla and DOOM. Man, this record is great.

here's another article

So it has come to light that the penultimate track is the instrumental of this 'ere joint I love how the beat is partly constructed of respliced negatives taken from the ubiquitous think break, almost like ghost notes applied to production - Madlib is so damn genius when it comes to stuff like this.

While this thread's gone state for a minute I've been enjoying this shit outta this album.  Not ready to call it classic but currently filed under "delivers."  A few randos:

Who's the vocal snippet on One for Quartabe? Sounds like Busta Rhymes but also not. Might need a new pair of socks er psssh get outta here.

Very rando, but years before this album I'd heard the Duumbiyay sample on a minimal techno joint in an untracklisted A Guy Called Gerald dj set.  I have to imagine it's pretty obscure but does anyone know this track?

Also, fo' shizzle, dizzle

Still really enjoying this as well

I ordered vinyl on the last Bandcamp Friday so I've been trying to avoid streaming it till that arrives, but I recently learned that it's estimated to ship in JUNE so I'm fairly certain I'll play it a few more times before then.

I cannot wrap my head around all the shit he says is coming out... collabs with tony allen, thundercat, malcom catto, 4 industrial albums, a disco album??? lolwtfawesome

damn it's been a minute since I heard about Malcom Catto...remember him from back in the Mo Wax days. looks like he had an album out last year - https://littlebarrie.bandcamp.com/album/quatermass-seven. sampling now on BC, sounds quite decent.

and also saw on the fork the other day that Madlib's working a project with Kaytranada - https://pitchfork.com/news/announcing-driven-by-sound-documentary-with-madlib-and-kaytranada/

pls Madlib, brains cannot compute all this shit

Dude is my favorite non electronic producer because of just how damn eclectic his taste is. I know he's a Cabaret Voltaire fan, can't remember what track but I've heard a sample of theirs in his work before and he has mentioned being into them and Throbbing Gristle in an interview.
