Caretstik Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 From Stones Throw: Madlib has always called himself a DJ first, producer second, with jazz music as his first love and inspiration. With that in mind you might say this is what he does best. The title card of Madlib Medicine Show No. 8 reads: Imagine an 80-minute music history course talking place in a dusty, hazy studio with wall-to-wall jazz vinyl - records from the past 40 years – jazz, fusion, funky, obscure. This course will not be graded. There will be no lecture. Madlib’s at the turntable. Class is now in session. The front & back cover is the painting Jazzcats Crossing the Hudson (info). CD contains an 8-page booklet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Makinami Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The best medicine volume until the date, imo (I'm a huge fan of his YNQ work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm think I'm going to feel a little empty once the Medicine Show series is finally over. Amazing that so many releases in one year can be so consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Holy crap I need to get some of this stuff and I think this #8 will be the first ! Are all the releases that good ? Cause it represents a lot of money if I want to get all of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause it represents a lot of money if I want to get all of these Was just about to create a thread- this mix should be amazing! Cover painting is awesome as well. Also just ordered Pt. 7 (High Jazz) Most of these are definitely worth getting, ranked the ones I have (and will have soon!) The mixes have all been amazing so far... 1. 8: Advanced Jazz 2. 7: High Jazz 3. 6: Brain Wreck Show 4. 4: 420 Chalice All Stars 5. 2: Flight to Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsaicin Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Should we make a Medicine Show megathread before or after everything's been released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Can't wait to see where he's going to go after this mix, with four albums still to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Kingdom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Can't wait to see where he's going to go after this mix, with four albums still to go. Yeah, maybe a disc of new Madlib remixes and a hip-hop mix? A rare funk or 45s mix? Who knows, he's covered a lot of genres already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that he released CDs of his own stuff (like "Loop Digga something"), are those mixed too ?? A rare funk or 45s mix ? Oh that would be awesome, since there are so many funky gems !

bubbhasdance Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 In my opinion: 5 > 3 > 6 > 2 > 4 > 1 Have not heard #7 yet Me being a Madlib addict, my opinion is important :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many on the Stone's Throw boards were asking for a poster of the Jazz Cats Crossing the Hudson. Check this out- I didn't notice the "Headhunter" in the background right away. http://www.rappcats.com/hotshit/jazzcats-crossing-the-hudson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vintage 80s hip-hop mix would be mindblowing if it was done by Madlib. Got #7 on CD today by the way, I don't think there are any other artists whose albums I'd pay to download AND buy physically just through being too impatient to hear and own them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I was hoping for an 80s one as well, I think it could be pretty mindblowing given how many obscure records he has. And of course I'm hoping 9 or 11 are new Madvillain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 And of course I'm hoping 9 or 11 are new Madvillain! Too right, that would be insane. Can't quite see that happening as part of this series though, I'd imagine that'd be a proper high-profile Stones Throw release in its own right (not that Madlib's obscure or low-key, of course).

Ego Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I want him to do Asia. Not to keen on #7, my least favorite so far. There are a few in this series I adore though. Had a great time last weekend playing football, smoking weed while listening to Flight to Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 there's no monk in that pik !! i guess he doesn't cover him nor bird in his mix, but still, monk comes with warm hat, perfect for crossing cold hudsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I mean, Deodato had some jams, but he probably should have been swapped out for Thelonius.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Man you could have equally put a bunch other cats on that just as easily, Bud Powell, Tony Williams, Roy Ayers, etc. Besides I can't imagine the mix being limited to those depicted, that's just not how madlib rolls... Anyway motherfucking madlib motherfuck you for being so motherfucking prolific such that a dude can't possibly keep up with you (that said, I'd rather have too much than too little ) Anyway if some of y'all are looking to check out some older but definitely still fresh madlib there's always the Mind Fusion series (very similar actually, some mixtapes, some original productions). This Remixes 2 - 1980s Saturday Morning Edition is pretty dope too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could have them all on CD I'd sell my pucker to the lowest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
