>Well, I really like the Krust album, the Saul Williams track is
>really amazing,
as is most saul williams stuff
and the beats seem much more inventive than the other
>stuff (varies some of the patterns like Pete Rock/DJ Shadow).
its funny how people seem surprised by the inventiveness that the d and b
scene is capable of, just because many recent tracks have seemed a bit
repetitive in the beat department...
but all this so called 'breakbeat science' was one of the original premises
of d and b (peshay's 'vocal tune', project 23 'pleasure and the pain', old
photek and loads i forgot) producers these seem to think that this sort of
thing lessens the dancefloor appeal of the track or maybe they are just
lazy, but loads of drum parts in d and b seem to bee pretty much loops with
just a bit of an eighth bar extra bit to keep some flow. what happenned to
2 minutes in the middle of a tune standing in the middle of the dancefloor
going "what the fuck?"
isn't that drum and bass? using fast hiphop breaks like a jazz professor
and dub-on-steroids sub bass to freak the crowd?
For
>something in the same vein, and with cooler vocals get the Breakbeat
>Era.
yeah and more chilled try Plutonik.
also try Calyx for some mad and hard stuff (cabin fever and calibrate are
they're best tracks) they release on 31 records and audio couture. Origin
Unknown are wicked too, try their remix of underwolves 'under your sky' on
the island subsid BLUE. the new enforcers comp on reinforced has a good
cross section of styles and moods and has loads of mad beat manipulation
(http://www.reinforcedrecords.co.uk)
I'll also have to track down the d'n'b remixes of
>some recent Hip-hop, like Blackalicious' 'Deception'--which is now
>available on CD at my local Tower.
i wouldn't bother they are terrible
