Speedometer: “No Man Worries (Remix) / The Real Me (Remix)”

Gu — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:49:13 +0000

- now this one was remixed by DJ Format and my personal favourite is the version of “The Real Me”. on both sides he took some of your (and probably his) favourite samples and built a new instrumental for each of the tracks. and even the theme is on James Brown productions (”Funky Drummer” on the a-side for example) it is the variety of classic sounds from a more wide range of productions: Vicky Anderson, Cymande and my favourite Al Green tune “I’m Glad You’re Mine” to name three of them. but actually the most important thing about these two remixes is that THEY ARE IN TUNE with the original vocals. a little very important thing to many of you blend-djs don’t care for or don’t know about. it’s simple: use your ears. as did DJ Format, who hereby made sure I smile today. thank you, sir!-

Elipsis: “People”

Gu — Thu, 29 May 2008 02:15:33 +0000

Rakim: “The Archives Live, Lost and Found”

Gu — Thu, 15 May 2008 00:14:11 +0000

-a CD+DVD thing with four new studio tracks and 18 live tracks from a perfomance in New York some while ago. and of course there are almost all the classics included. unfortunately, as with alot of HipHop-Live things the artist is sometimes (here most of the time) rapping over the vocal-version of his record. I find that quite irretating most of the time. although I have to admit that when I saw Public Enemy live again and again it never bothered me when they played (as their live shows are amazing), only when I heard a recording or saw live footage. now the DVD here is such footahe and again I am not sure what to think of it. but I know that this is collector’s material as Rakim is also telling you alot about himself in that concert. and out of the four new tracks two I really like a lot. so go and be a collector!-
