I haven't actually heard 21st century soul - so can't really comment on it.
I suppose you could call it overproduced in that the LP doesn't have
the roughness or simplicity of say a UR track, but I like his
musical ideas - he has lots of good ones - and doesn't let them get
out of control, so in that sense I would say that it's not
overproduced or noodly - there is some quantity control going on
rather than unrestrained noodling.
Having said all this, I really like the Offworld LP on Far Out, so
maybe my opinions on Jazz Noodling should be taken with a pinch of
salt....

How would you compare it to the 21st Century Soul from a few years back ? I
found that a bit overproduced and as we say on the list 'jazz noodles lite'.
I think its out today.

Subject: (313) New As One LP
Mornin' all!
A quick one to say that I just got sent the new As One LP on
Ubiquity....and it's excellent - very soulful - but not in a brittle,
trying to be soulful way - it's deep! Kind of on an IG Culture tip
IMO.
Not sure when it's out here - but I think a lot of list peeps will
like it! - it's called ' Out Of The Darkness'.
Best
D.
P.S. Sorry if this has already been covered on the list, I keep
having to apologise for my f*cked up short term memory and it's
starting to do my head in!
