there's a disco mix up here by Madlib.
sorry it's OT, but there's a few Madlib fans kicking about here.
"DJ Rels spins Disco Hits from Inner and Outer Space"
cool, hadn't seen that mix yet.
madlib also has his own disco project coming out sometime next year(?)
called spectrum77.

hi um er not trying to cause trouble, but i didnt think the madvillain
album was that great. i downloaded it and deleted it from my hard drive
after a couple listens...but i don't like mf doom that much. i did the same
with some of his other stuff. i liked the quasimoto album a lot tho. i am a
madlib fan. mf doom gets on my nerves..
i personally quite like the mf doom album, but i can definately see you not
liking it if you don't like doom. i think his rhyming complements madlib's
beats, and vice versa. i wasn't feeling doom's rhymes over his own beats
that much.
i absolutely love the madlib 80's mixes lp! maybe even the best madlib work
imho.

a question: i know a lot of the Madlib stuff is fairly
sample-based. How about the DJ Rels & Monk Hughes
records? I am certainly not intimate with the whole
Pharoah Sanders back catalog, but haven't recognized a
single sample on either album. Anyone else?
my guess would be that the rels stuff is sample based, and the yesterdays
new quintet related material is at least partially sample based (so that
includes the monk hughes) covers of songs by Roy Ayers, Azymuth, Weldon
Irvine, etc.
from "Making Beats, the art of sample based hip-hop" by Joseph G. Schloss:
"An unusually overt example of this philoshophy can be found in a cover
version of the song "Daylight" that appears on the 2001 album Angles without
Edges by Yesterday's New Quintet. The original version of the song was
recorded in 1977 by RAMP on their album Come into Knowledge. It is best
known among producers because a two-bar sample of its melody provided the
basis for the classic hip-hop song "Bonita Applebaum" by A Tribe Called
Quest on their 1990 album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of
Rhythm.
As a result of being sampled, the previously obscure RAMP album became
highly prized by hip-hop producers, sometimes selling for hundreds of
dollars, untill it was reissued on vinyl in the late 1990s. On the
Yesterday's New Quintet album, Madlib constructs a cover version of
"Daylight" from samples of other songs (augmented by his own keyboardwork).
Moreover, the rhythm of Madlib's drum track is not based on the rhythm of
the original version of "Daylight", but on the drum loop that A Tribe Called
Quest combined it with to make "Bonita Applebaum", taken from the blues-rock
band Little Feat. In short, Madlib's version of "Daylight" is a virtuoso
demonstration of production technique and knowledge, referencing the social
and economic history of a commodity (the RAMP album), its use in the hip-hop
community ("Bonita Applebaum"), and Madlib's own relationship to both."
... ok, i'll get my glasses (formerly owned by Elvis Costello!!), and my
"new" annorak (bought off ebay, used to be owned by Liam Gallagher).
