Hey Kitsune, good to see you. Yeah My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was dope. RZA and Co. did a great job producing it.
As far as producers go though, nobody can touch Steven Ellison(known as Flying Lotus) or Guillermo Scott Herren(most known as Prefuse 73) right now. I'm looking forward to anything they drop this year.
a song from Flying Lotus and
a song from Prefuse 73... to show some of what they can do. Lately I've been listening to Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus, some beat compilations by Flying Lotus, Meditation Upon Meditations (The Japanese Diaries) by Prefuse 73, Diverse B-sides by Diverse, Empty The Bones Of You by Chris Clark, The LP by Who Cares, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Master of Pigeons by Japanther, Turn On the Bright Lights by Interpol, and anything Broadcast has made - their vocalist Trish Keenan died of pneumonia January 14, 2011. So sad. Other than that, been listening to a lot of other various artists like Daedelus, Dabrye, Phil Ranelin, John Fahey, John Coltrane, Autechre, Amon Tobin, Teebs, etc. etc.
I need to see the schedules of tours for some artists this year, but seeing anyone like Prefuse 73, Flying Lotus, Ras G, Samiyam, Gaslamp Killer, Teebs, Chris Clark, in California would be killer!
