sweepstakes Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Lol, wasn't going there but on a certain level it probably exists amongst some lesser evolved primates, even in teh IDMx. Thumbs up as to rest of post, though right now I'm probably digging AZD more (than you, not R.I.P) despite some of it's eccentricities. I remember reading some early presser BS about the album being influenced by 80s NY graffiti artist & MC Rammelzee, only to finally hear it and there be a track sampling Rammelzee talking about Rammelzee. It does evolve into a pretty badass track though and one of my faves on this.Sadly I think you're right, although the idea of an electronic musician being somehow less credible because he's Black makes about as much sense as a chef being less credible because she's French or a swimmer being less credible because it's literally a fish. Planning on giving AZD some proper listens over the next few days, maybe I'll come around. Lol agin, didn't mean to bring TJ into the fray but he was first to come to mind. I'm also able to look past his musings & ego because he has made some brill stuff over the years (like HND, Go Plastic, Venus 17), but also some total wank, esp. the more recent stuff.

sweepstakes Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 And of course TJ has done some incredible, genre-defining stuff. I dusted off Go Plastic after that thread got resurrected and was blown away at how fresh it still sounds. His ranting doesn't subtract from his brilliance at all even if it annoys me a bit.

My comment was mainly a response to Amen Lare's posts above. It's like with the Giegling dude's sexist comments from a while back. I bet many people who liked his music and/or DJing before will now be reluctant to publicly say that they like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlybog Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 aside from the tracklisting, ghettoville is a pretty sweet zone to disappear into. this one did very little for me. the ep he released after is wicked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on the next LP with the orchestra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polytrix Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Agreed. Awaiting the full LP of him with the Philharmonic Orchestra. Ghettoville is criminally underrated in my view I actually prefer it to AZD. I think with Actress a lot of people feel it is unfinished or meandering but for me personally it's about creating a sound world to escape into rather than music in the traditional sense.
