Down to Erf – Learn to Earn

A former member of the soulful Hip-Hop crew named Down to Erf, Mathematik’s background embraces almost all the fundamental aspects of hip hop culture. He started out as a dancer in grade 4, evolved as a lyricist, learned to DJ and inspires his audience listen closely to hear his lessons. Pure Math is more than simple equations, it is a philosophy, a language and a perspective based on diverse elements that, when mixed by genius, invites its students and followers to step up their game.

This hip hop pioneer returns as architect of beats and poet who¹s got extraordinary rhythm and flow to continue his trajectory of revolutionary hip hop sound. His tracks throughout the album are reminiscent of the tri-part approach consistent with his past work: words that inform the mind, beats that move the body and a narrative that speaks to the soul.

Pour revenir au concerné, Mr Chris Parker, sa prestation lyrciale parle d’elle même au passage clin d’oeil au GrandMasta B a.k.a. “Bud” alias David Faustino échappé de “Marié deux enfants” (Married … with Children) qui fait une appartion aussi discrète que fut sa carrière de MC à l’instar de son confrère Brian Austin Green du 90210 dont je ne suis pas un fan de la première heure en dépit du fait que j’avoue avoir apprécié la série sic c’est dit !

Clifford Brown – Yesterdays

Peace & Merci à tous ceux qui supportent le spot

Funky spaciness from one of the 70’s best arrangers! The set’s a largeish orchestral work dedicated to Dune and other sci-fi books and films. Sounds goofy, but it’s pretty darn great — and Dave Matthews takes his work with James Brown and makes the whole thing come out pretty darn funky. Includes the massive “Sandworms”.

A1 Dune Part I: Arrakis (6:03)
A2 Dune Part II: Sandworms (5:03)
A3 Dune Part III: Song Of The Bene Gesserit (2:50)
A4 Dune Part IV: Muad’Dib (6:36)
B1 Space Oddity (6:05)
B2 Silent Running (3:16)
B3 Pricess Leia’s Theme (From Star Wars) (2:55)
B4 Main Theme From Star Wars (3:22)

This obscure CTI album is the source of the killer sample cut ‘Sandworms’, as used on several major-league hip-hop tracks. Forget the rest of the (mainly disco-esque) cuts and head for Sandworms. It’s funkier than a mosquito’s tweeter (as Nina Simone once sang) and will blow the roof off your bass bins!

David Matthews gathers an incredible collection of artists to collaborate on interpreting the sci-fi masterpiece, Dune. Some of the greatest in the field add their flavor to Matthews’ vision. Jazz fans will be delighted to hear Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, Eric Gale, Hiram Bullock, Randy Brecker, Andy Newmark, Steve Gadd, Mark Egan, even a young Will Lee riffing. The music style is dated, but true fans will enjoy!
