Even the diehard Ween fans on ween.net's forum dig this album which is saying alot. 'What's cooler than cool - ICE COLD' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Thanks for the reccomendation. I'm really sort of tip toeing around the whole hip hop/rap genre. I really love the fushion kinda stuff, spearhead, bullfrog etc... That being said how's the rapping to music ratio on this album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Very low. Andre 3000 is the rightful heir to the Prince throne and is much more similar to the Artist than 50 Cent. It's more like cronky funk than hip hop. Give it a listen at least if they have a listening copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Amen to that. OutKast is just ridiculously good these days. I can't get enough. Heya! On an unrelated note, has that white chick always been part of the Black-Eyed Peas? She's lame-o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Ok I sampled the first few tracks, from amazon.ca. What a bizarre transition. The first few tracks are like 20's jazz or something, then it moves into something a little more resembling what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I'm real intrigued by Outkast too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleMomma Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I'm intrigued by The Roots - Phrenology - is this an album that must be purchased? It has a little bit of that hip/hop edge happenin too, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I know a lot of people dig that album, including MarcO. But I just couldn't get into it. Although seeing them live might be a more interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 The new Outkast is amazing. Dig their older stuff as well. I've been getting into Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz series again. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B & Z Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Chick Corea - Light as a Feather 1. You're Everything Listen Listen Listen 2. Light as a Feather Listen Listen Listen 3. Captain Marvel Listen Listen Listen 4. 500 Miles High Listen Listen Listen 5. Children's Song Listen Listen Listen 6. Spain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editorial Reviews Amazon.com essential recording Featuring the same band as the first Return to Forever album--vocalist Flora Purim, saxophonist-flutist Joe Farrell, bassist Stanley Clarke, and drummer Airto-- 1973's Light As a Feather was the result of a conscious effort on Chick Corea's part to communicate with a broader audience. Although Corea's electric piano and Purim's spacey-samba vocals might sound dated, the album includes a couple of Corea's most beloved compositions, "500 Miles High" and "Spain." Subsequent Return to Forever albums turned to conceptual bombast and silly fantasies. Here, Corea strikes an appealing balance between art and accessibility. --Rick Mitchell Classic light fusion., October 3, 2001 Chick Corea was ahead of his time. I think this album foresaw the onslaught of smooth jazz that would come in the 80's. Of course, this is no mere smooth jazz album. This contains classics: Children's Song, 500 Miles High and Spain. Later, RTF would become more of a powerhouse, with the addition of Al DiMeola and Lenny White. The player I am most taken with on this disc is Joe Farrell. His flute runs are breathtaking. I Flora Purim is in rare form, sounding on "Light As a Feather" like a less inhibited Astrud Gilberto. Her then husband Airto entertains as well. What can one say about Stan Clarke? His fingers move faster than any SST. He's mainly ceased the acrobatics these days, but he is in true form here, and on every RTF title. This is a must have for any fan of jazz. 500 Miles High alone is worth it and Joe Farrell is a killer....n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey d Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 haha i totally agree earthfreak, a friend of mine got the new b.e.p. album and i spent a few good minutes laughing as well. the new outkast album is realy good. i just finished reading an article from rolling stone about them over breakfast this morning, and it realy explained where theyre at in their career right now. basically they're two solo artists connected now only by formality and a name. they weren't even present at eachother's recording sessions. i'm liking it though, so it doesnt bother me.
