Originally posted by PalynkaI can absolutely second the recommendation for "Cold Water Music", it's a brilliant album with not a dull moment. The second album "Hinterland" didn't reach the same heights, but it does have its moments too.
Which album do you have?
Try the "Extinguished: Outtakes" from Prefuse 73, it's perhaps my favourite and the easier to get into also (which doesn't mean it's less quality in this case).
I'll definitely check out Aim and Buck65. Never heard of them but if you say it's similar I'm interested.
And yes, points go to the first person to name the movie sampled in "Demonique", thass some scary bizness...

The problem is that music as an art has evolved tremendously and what the layman cannot truly appreciate is not being covered by the media. Music is beginning to be an art in a more evolved but unfortunately more elitist sense.
Originally posted by darvlayI didn't judge it, I was observing. I also think people complaining about the current state of music are not looking deep enough, that's all.

The recording industry today is in dire need of icons in the mould of the Beatles, Elvis, Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and finally Michael Jackson. This certainly is evidence that the era these icons represented was the best.
