What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Volume 6)

Big Audio Dynamite - Greatest Hits

 

De La Soul

 

description?

 

Terence Blanchard

 

The name of the album is KI-OKU. DJ Krush lays down the beats and scratches while Toshinori Kondo plays trumpet over it. It's very downbeat. Cool lounge sound to it. It gets a little repetitive but overall a good disc to pull off the shelf once in awhile.

I discovered it a year or two ago when I posted here that I was enjoying Koop and wanted recommendations for CDs with a similar feel to it. I think JoePak/Ratdog suggested it to me.

Is it all lo-fi and soft like Eric's Trip? I always loved that band, but never got past owning a couple LP's.

I'm listening to

sice Caliban mentioned him.

I've loved his solo albums but hadn't heard of this one. Another one for The List. Thanks!
