DAVID AXELROD-
SONGS OF EXPERIENCE CAPITOL, 1969.
Okay, I've been gone quite a while from Let the Drums Speak and it's a long tedious story which I'd rather not get into. But I must say this sh*t is fat as Dan Dierdorfs big as* on Monday Night Football:) Because it is so dope, I'm throwing down 3 cuts from probably his best album (some may differ in opinion). The Sick Rose is personally one of the best cuts I've heard in a while. I put in two parts into the wav; the drums on my stereo are fat, but from the computer you can't here them at all. One is the intro guitar and groove which was used by Chino(?) for that cut Ghetto Vampire (my hiphop memories pretty bad). The Human Abstract was the cut Shadow sampled last year for that Midnight... cut that I even saw on Mtv. Moody, very melancholy, the piano even's got me choked up now while I speak. This one, you can't hear the drums worth sh*t, and in fact, this is really pissing me off. But the good thing is the bassline sounds fat as Campbells chunky soup baked in lard; and it's very fat. Um, The Fly is another classic DA Axelrod composition, and it is, well, fly. I was gonna do another cut with a fat drum break but for some reason I couldn't here the drums at all, even though they were solo. This is basically a fat groove with a harpsicord. I could hear some New York rap group jacking this cut repeatedly. As a footnote, Brian DiGenti aka Illunch aka Mr. "I'm not only President of the Axelrod fan club, I'm also a client." Has updated this on his Axelrod site; I think I'll leave that to his site, he's a little bit better at writing than me.
