I just sent mine out to cubeadvance today.

I'm clearly rubbish :)

No worries at all. Looking forward to it.

cubeadvance; I've listened to yours quite a few times now.

I'll be posting up full coverage after lunch (and footy) this afternoon.

Thanks, David. Again, looking forward to it.

I didn't get a CD yet :)

Yours was posted about a week ago. I may not have put enough postage on it though as I just kinda went on autopilot and then remembered after shoving it in the postbox that it was going further than usual. Hope it will be there soon.

It has the most awesome free gift* of my illustrious freegiftery career.

*you may disagree

It starts of fine. The first few tracks are OK, not necessarily the sort of thing I listen to all the time but enjoyable enough. After this it all gets a bit too much for my wimpy indie ears and I didn't really enjoy the rest. I am planning on giving it another listen though. How would you describe the genre on the cd?

Ah you like Indie.. oops.. Well I suppose it’ll be a bit different for you then haha.

It starts off fairly electronica-ish (using the term loosely), then onto a small amount of hard mashup stuff, then gabba (Ebola) then a hardcore techno track :)

P.S oh and you got off lightly, this month's CD was the least hard one to date :D

1) If - ?. heard the song before but not this (very nice) version

2) Milk - Garbage. It's been a while since I've heard the original non-mixed up version, going off at a tangent I saw them play at Wembley some years ago now and they were very good. Like.

3) No idea but I like. Quite a dreamy sound to the song.

4) Again no clue as to the song but again I like it, starts of again relaxed before building to a good crescendo.

5) Whatever's Written In Your Heart - Gerry Rafferty. Classic, always makes me feel sad.

6) Right Time - Animals. Funky attitudey 60's winner (my mum loves this stuff so I was indoctrinated from a young age)

7) No idea, I don't like the bit 3/4's through when they go a bit odd but that's being hyper picky. :blink:

:P No Idea, reminds me strongly of some of the early 90's Indie stuff I used to listen to but can't give a clear example as I spent most of those years addled out of my brain (pixies-ish perhaps). I like it (I'm getting boring now).

9) No idea, A change of pace with some rocking guitars. I like it.

10) No idea, Keeping up the more rocking pace. I like it, and without getting art-wanky, it's a very interestingly constructed song.

11) How I Miss You - Foo Fighters. I like this, and the Foo Fighters in general.

12) Supervixen - Garbage (refer to notes to 2 :) ).

13) No idea, good follow on from last song. My foot appears to be tapping so that will be another two thumbs up.

14) No idea, More rocking out with female lead vocals. I fucking hate this (this is a lie).

15) No idea, I'd say this is the song that I like the least.

So all in all excellent job Orooth, it's certainly a CD I'll keep in the car and has encouraged me to perhaps dig out some of the older CD's in my collection. Thanks again.

cubeadvance's mixtape:

Creative Source - Magic Carpet Ride

Really like this as an opener. Incredibly funky and it has excellent lyrics that are memorable and fun to sing along to. For some reason this track cuts short at 2:41 mid-song. Not sure if it was part of a mix beforehand or something but it was a bit puzzling when I first listened. Still; I'll be hunting down the proper version soon.

Gil Scott-Heron - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)

This is smooth as you like. I especially love the bit that sounds like the most 'hooky' part of the song when the brass pipes up just for a second along with those soulful, catchy lyrics, then it all fades out and the quiet guitar/keyboard comes in again. Big fan.

Curtis Mayfield - Be Thankful For What You've Got

Again; I'm a massive fan of this kinda smooth, chilled out track. Doesn't matter what genre. I can ALWAYS sit back and enjoy tracks that have a funky 'don't-give-a-shit' attitude that just make me wish I was in some New York jazz club with moody blue lighting, leather seats and the air conditioning on max whilst sipping a cocktail. This is the shit I'd be listening to in there - and I'd have some hot intellectual brunette chick on my lap talking about independant cinema all over that motherfucker.

Herbie Hancock - Fat Albert

Massive respect for Herbie, despite not having heard that much of his catalogue. Love watching him perform live in videos and shit. This particular track I'd not listened to before - sounds much more natural and jazzy than most of the stuff of his I'd experienced from him previously (which is almost all electro, admittedly), but I like it. The sax in the right ear towards the middle is ace.

Creative Source - You Can't Hide Love

Another Creative Source track. This one is much more chilled out, but has a similar hook/vocal display. As much as I enjoyed listening to it, I found it was the first track was a little bit more 'boring' than the others. Thats not to say I didn't enjoy it - quite the opposite - but it seemed to be based around the vocals a little too much which I thought were a bit averagey.

The Spinners - It's A Shame

This is another track I thought was a bit more vanilla than the others. It didn't seem to be making waves in my brain like the first four tracks did. Still - I did like the overly hyper falsetto singing dude at one point.

4Hero/Patrice Rushen - Kickin' Back

This track has dope drums AND bassline. Then that little synth melody noise comes in and you're all like 'wtf' but then you just think 'fuck it; awesome' and go with the bizzare flow. Key change makes for a nice shift in sound completely, before dropping back to that crazy opening bit. I also liked the 'out-of-control-with-my-instrument-but-don't-stop-it-cos-it-sounds-mondo' outro bit. Not a track I can imagine being played in my imaginary head jazz scene from a few paragraphs ago, but it was fun to listen to regardless.

The Free Design - Umbrellas (Peanut Butter Wolf Rework)

I have to say the last couple of tracks made me wonder if that's what would have been playing in my head if I was in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas instead of Hunter S. Thompson. This track only adds to the acid-induced crazed feeling. I swear it shifts out of key at times, and there is definitely more echo here than is healthy.

The Metres - Ease Back

Oh yeah. Shit yeah, this shit comes as like an adrenaline shot of peace and tranquility after the last ten minutes. More funked out lounge shit; like what James Brown would have as elevator music. Loving the combination of left/right organ/guitar.

Fat Freddy's Drop - Flashback (Jazzanova Remix)

See; if sex had loading music it would be this. Absolutely quality. Gorgeous voice, fairly so-so lyrics but they do the job well, the bass is the best thing I've ever heard, drums suit the whole shebang perfectly, and when the shakers came in I swear I just ejaculated a little bit right there. This is going on my 'Music To Bone Hot Chicks To' extended playlist.

Beatconductor - Housin'

I'm a massive hip-hop fan but to be brutally rash I wasn't really feelin' this. It's nice and all, and I think I've got pretty much every track that the thing samples. The vocals are also ripped from EPMD's 'I'm Housin'. Can't remember what that sounds like to be honest, but you sure this ain't the actual EPMD track? I can't remember - must have been on mushrooms or some shit last time I listened to that LP.

Dinosaur L - In the Cornbelt (Larry Levan Mix)

Holy shit nuggets; I was listening to the intro to this on the first time around and I swear Ian Curtis from Joy Division was on it. Then I remembered he was dead. To be honest I don't know if this supersedes Ian Curtis' death (may he rest in peace forever) or not, but the similarities there are remarkable. Anyway, great track. As far as songs lengths go this is above average, but I feel it's justified. The build is real nice and the introduction of new equipment and sounds all the way through make it something of a progressive favourite.

Nbambi - Call Me (Yam Who? Remix)

Bit of a weird track for me this one. Didn't initially know what to write about it. I like it, but not in the traditional sense. It's not going on any mixtapes any time soon, but I do like the beat. I'm not a fan of the vocals though. Maybe it's that. They just seem a bit cliched to me and I was happy to see it out.

Stevie Wonder - Knocks Me Off My Feet

I love this track. You know 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya' by ODB, right? The piano sample in that is made up of the very first piano note in this track. That is trufax, and I know 'cos I tried to replicate that shit for myself and it worked. Sorta. I'm not RZA, though. But yeah I'm well familiar with this and it's ace. Was a nice outro. Still like Stevie's voice, and this is classic him.

Massive thanks for the CD education dude. As you can probably tell I'm a massive fan of really smooth jazzy shit that I can chill out to, but I really don't know very much about the genre at all. Apart from the big names.I got some old-school 60's shit as well on my machine, but only normally one or two tracks from each artist. Was great to get some more names and tracks out there. Favourite was probably Fat Freddy's Drop - that was just too good for words - but I was totally kickin' back to all the first four tracks I heard to be honest, and then some.

Thanks again, cubey;

Overall, I was digging your CD so hard I almost uncovered E.T. on the Atari.

cubeadvance sent me a copy of this cd too, and I quite enjoyed this track. The problem with it is that they have mixed the whole of I'm Housin' over everything else - if they had chopped out the EPMD chorus parts, it would have worked ten times better.

Wow, really seemed to strike a chord there. I stuck that Spinners tune on there because I was going to go full out and have loads of Stevie Wonder joints on there, stuff he did, stuff he wrote but I ditched that, it's sort of a remnant. I'd love to be able to snatch that drum beat and make a hip-hop tune out of it.

I reckon that this sort of funky jazz and soul was made to lounge about in the sun too, so that's what I was going for really. I hope the pacing was ok as that was probably harder than the tracks I picked.

That Fat Freddy's Drop tune is probably my favourite track since God knows when. It's just amazing. I really need to pick up their new album, it's out on Sonar Kollektiv now I think. It won album of the year on Gilles Peterson's radio show.

Never knew that about the Stevie track, I haven't heard that ODB track for ages, so I'll certainly hunt that down.

Glad you got something out of, well everything from the sounds of things. Gald you enjoyed it and thanks very much for the feedback, it's really appreiciated.

Yeah totally dig that opinion. I still like it as it's got so much energy. The album, Beats cut out, played back and souled is fantastic. It's still up for download in the hip-hop thread from last month and it's certainly worth your time. He's got a new record out with loads of disco and soul joints mashed up and edited, so I need that as well.

w00t!

Is it any good or can I expect to be dipping my manly parts in a bucket of ice the rest of the night?

It's quite good. Does make a bit of a mess though and apparently doesn't taste very nice. To be used with the CD though, unless you either listen to it in the office or on the drive home. I don't endorse such things.

Feedback for Nimmel's CD...

Disc 1

1. Quite enjoyable, relatively old-school sounding progressive house. Quite enjoyed this... Not the sort of thing I listen to very much any more but still quite good.

2. More relatively old stuff. I feel like I should know who this is... I'm digging the 'wet', blissed out sound.

3. Not sure what I think of this... It's quite nice and I like the ambient 2 minutes at the end but it feels like it needs something else... Sounds quite like early BT.

4. Really enjoyed this... No idea what it is, nice snappy drums combined with a relaxed bassline and an accordian. Made me feel like I was cycling down Parisian back streets on the way for a coffee and a croissant. Nice!

5. Drum and bass feel... Sounds quite 'intelligent', LTJ Bukem style. Not listened to this sort of thing for a long time but it is perfect lazy summer listening. It also has the added bonus of sounding just like a bond theme when it starts...

6. Back to the old school progressive stuff. This is a bit more upbeat. It's not bad but doesn't really have much to make it stick out in my mind.

7. This is more melodic and a bit more enjoyable.

8. Kosheen! Hungry! Not really down with Kosheen but this has to be lyrically one of the funniest songs I've ever heard. I'm amazed a fast food chain or food brand haven't used it. This is a proggy mix... I think it would be better with out the vocals TBH.

9. House-y, strange vocals. Quite liked this, sounds a little more recent.

Disc 2 - Rap Classics

1. Nice sample.... Is this part of the song? Nice plodding old-school hip hop.

2. Run DMC - Tricky. Fantastic... Brought back my SSX days! At uni SSX Tricky was pretty much permanently on my PS2... My housemates loved it!

3. Public Enemy. Not sure which song it is... Used to love 'It Takes a Nation of Millions...' but haven't listened to it in ages. Will have to dig it out!

4. Dunno what this is... Nice and upbeat.

5. Brilliant! Will Smith & Jazzy Jeff - Summertime. You can be sure the windows on the car were all the way down for this.

6. I was praying for some Tribe. A Tribe Called Quest - Sucka Nigga. Taken from what's probably the best hip-hop album ever...

7. Some Gangsta complaining about stuff. This is okay, but nothing on ATCQ.

8. More Gangsta stuff. I've never really got that into NWA (except 'Express Yourself'... Classic), I find it difficult to take it seriously. This is okay, but I prefer the more laid backed rappers.

9. Eric B and Rakim - Paid in Full. This is great. Nice scratching.

10. Not sure who this is but I recognise the voice...

11. Beastie Boys - Body Moving. Must buy some Beastie Boys... This is great.

12. This is a little 'rock' for me... Is it Cyprus Hill?

13. This sounds pretty old. Quite like it.

14. Snoop Dogg. Again, find it difficult to take Snoop seriously... This is alright, reminds me of San Andreas...

15. This sounds fairly recent. Listening to the lyrics I'm presuming it's Noreaga and it's produced by The Neptunes? This is quite good, snappy, but (and I say this without knowing how old this is) it's clear that the Neptunes have lost their magic.

16. British MC. Don't know who this is but it's pretty good. A little over produced for british hip-hop. Is it Rodney P?

Overall I enjoyed pretty much everything you sent me... The rap classics was particularly good summer chilling music. Thanks a lot!
