MATERIALISM
Ever wondered what it would be like if all your Christmases, or as many as can actually fit into four shipping crates, came at once? Some of the gems from the 120 virtually unplayed pieces of vinyl that showed up on my doorstep yesterday:
El-P and the Blue Series Continuum: Sunrise Over Bklyn 10": Avant-jazz meets indie hip-hop, sounding more like the former, but with a sense of mourning and drama familiar to El-P's work. I've got the LP in there somewhere too, but haven't got that deep yet.
Amon Tobin: Verbal remixes: Somewhere between Amon Tobin and Prefuse73 is where I want my bleeps to be right now, so the latter remixing the former is a tasty combo.
Madvillain: Money Folder / America's Most Blunted: Already played the album to death, so I'm grateful to cop a rather off-kilter remix of Money Folder.
Chronic Heads Presents: Bootleg 10" with upbeat hip-hop remixes. Mostly notable for the Rza/Ghostface/Saian Supercrew re-edit. The Mobb Deep and Skillz tracks are not immediately likable.
Luke Vibert: Yoseph (CD): One massive acid squelch with Cylon vocoder vox.
Blackalicious: Deception: I've got five copies of this song (CD, LP, original remix 12", A2G EP and now this), but I bought it for the Nextmen remix of Trouble. Large.
Jehst: Adventures in New Bohemia: If there's no acapella on the record, kindly refrain from listing it on the sleeve. Still, two fine remixes including a revox and instrumentals for both.
Letroset: New Plastic: I don't know exactly what it is I'm looking for in nu-electro, but this is kinda close.
Marvin Gaye: Midnight Love: When I get that feeling..
Lessons learnt: X-rated acapellas aren't. You should not buy two copies of a Princess Superstar record just because it cost 99p and has a 45 King remix.
Still to listen: Madlib: Shades of Blue, Download: III Steps Forward, Autechre: Draft 7.0, Daedalus: The Quiet Party.
