description:
A soundtrack for late-night contemplation. No lyrics (the only ones are by-products from the samples used). There's not a lot of "slick" production here. You WILL find intricate, full, precise, sloppy, odd, ______ music that FEELS right. I like music that is best listened to at night; somewhat "moody" and/or contemplative and/or cerebral. I'm a fan of putting this music on and driving around with no particular destination and being confident in where you're headed and where you're at. Especially in a city like _____________ (your city here).
It's great. At times, though, I find myself getting lost, or "swept away", in the music, so it's not always good to drive.
An experience that's consistently pleasing to both the ear and the cerebral cortex.

great movie and great soundtrack (original score) by rza. it's like a peter and the wolf type scheme; each "character" from the people to the birds have their song. i had to order this vinyl. rasputin's music said they had it here in the bay, but when i went into the store, it was nowhere in sight. i looked forever. finally had to order online.

Track Description:
laid back, moody stuff from a "loop scholar" (from a madlib lyric). kan kick is a must-hear if you're a fan of dusty beats. i picked this up back in 2004 at amoeba records in la at night. my friend and i were just cruising around. he had never heard of kan kick. he loved it. we ended up at roscoe's on pico. after we ate, a guy on the street asked if we had any leftover food. i only had a few pieces of candy from the counter so i offered them to him. he cursed me out.

Track Description:
his name so matches who he is. i saw him down at the basement in the sf valley a few years back (at a pigeon john show) and he was just standing off to the side holding a cardboard box full of cd's. not even pushing them. if someone happened to come up to him and ask, then and only then would he try to sell em. i like how the sample gets off the drums' timing, just slightly, every now and then. i'm a fan of little things like that.
