chassis Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 So we can all talk shite about how great he is. I saw him live at some festival a few years back but the only song I had ever heard was bongo bong. Anyway I was completely blown away by his live performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f34UXq9i2k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko_cJIeEUAA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JsyMamIuss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TamvrMZl4g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJMLJVha5sw Sorry for the terrible accompanying videos for some of them.

chassis Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I really think Esperanza is one of my favourite albums. It always puts me in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mohamed Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 from a certain point i've noticed an abuse of the sounds too, and all of his albums starting to sound like one big fiesta not keen on those tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mohamed Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 an abuse of the sounds i think i was bothered by hearing always the same chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 he re uses lyrics, samples, and backing tracks all over. you'll find different songs with the same backing track, different songs with the same lyrics, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats something you notice really quickly when you start listening to his albums. But somehow he pulls it off. Its kinda like he's saying 'I know its supposed to be lame to re-use shit, but I dont care. This is a good riff, and I'm gonna put it on a few different tracks. Its nice! Why not?' and it kinda makes sense within the context of his particular style of laid back backpacker chilledness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
