The Green Kingdom Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Now I know there was some debate around here about Warp signing HudMo (personally I like his stuff a lot). Whether you like him or not, most could at least admit that he is at least one of the popular young up-and-coming producers in the hip-hop/electronic realm. Ok, so I was perusing the Bleep blog the other day and noticed something that truly amazed me: http://blog.bleep.com/tag/gonja-sufi/. Just try to make it through this song, I dare you. Just horrendous! Guy smokes way too much weed and sings to some cheesy Casio beats (in a bad way) and gets signed to Warp? Previous to hearing this, I only knew him from ruining a perfectly good Flying Lotus track on Los Angeles (Testament) with his incoherent rambling and off-key "vocals". A truly unlistenable moment on one of my favorite recent albums. I've been uninterested in some previous Warp signings for sure, I can usually appreciate them making an attempt to diversify their offerings, but this is their first real WTF? moment for me. Hopefully they come to their senses and release something else. So many great artists out there that deserve the opportunity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's not that bad, but I expect something a lot more polished to be....oh goddamn, I just hit the chorus and it's awful. Anyway, expect something a lot grander to be released by Warp, not this. Is it just me or does his voice get worse as the track goes on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Kingdom Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Is it just me or does his voice get worse as the track goes on? And have you heard that Flying Lotus track? It's even worse than this. Dude could be in an anti-drug ad. He must just be connected to the right people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A truly unlistenable moment on one of my favorite recent albums. Yes, yes, yes. My thoughts EXACTLY from my very first listen of an otherwise great album. Possibly the worst singing voice I have EVER heard, absolutely agonising. Only I thought it was a woman. I don't often use capitals, but I had no choice here.

Braintree Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hah, I left a comment saying how awful it was and the moderator didn't approve it. I guess we're just supposed to talk about how great it is even though it's absolutely horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we're just supposed to talk about how great it is even though it's absolutely horrid. I debated doing that, but thought it would be more fun to vent here instead. I was wondering if they would approve a critical comment- guess not. I swear I'm usually not a very negative person, but this one just has me perplexed...

mcbpete Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I actually liked the quaintness of the start of that track but mainly as I thought it was going to build and build. However the chorus comes in with the clipped vocals and ALT+F4 was rapidly operated .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
