【Badbrain】Digger's delights！

著名Minimal Techno/ Dub厂牌Basic Channel分厂False Tuned所出版的第二张CD大碟：Paul St. Hilaire（从前化名为Tikiman）演绎的Reggea/dub专辑《Adsom （A Divine State Of Mind）》点击。很多人说喜欢听Minimal，却又不喜欢Reggea；还有一些人正相反。而Basic Channel为两者画出了一个完美的交集，他将深邃而富情感化的dub引入techno的序列中。Paul St. Hilaire和Horace Andy是我最为中意的Reggea Vocals，冥冥之中带给人力量。他们全是太极宗师!

5/5

标题很清楚《Singles & Guest Shots（1998-2005）》。来自MED a.k.a. Medaphoar的选集，在自己的厂牌MED（编号0002），开始让我以为是一张bootleg。 曲目大部分是他的第一个伯乐madlib监制，收录了不少原来只做黑胶单曲出版的曲目。包装和营销上和大部分home made一样很差，只为听听这位9岁开始rap的MC如何征服PBW和Stones Throw。

It's A Love Thing是选自Pete Rock《Soul Survivor II》的歌曲，而C.L.Smooth演绎了一个夏日的爱情。这并不是关键，分享的是这张12寸Instrumental和Acapella部分，苦于想做MC却没有beat的人请借鉴器乐部分，想当producer的拿人声版练吧。请首先感谢Pete Rock先生制作了这样的好曲子，然后再感谢我。

接触DJ Quietstorm是一张他与DJ Kensei的《In Time Like This Chapter 2》。里面的现场录音混了不少好东西，是我对他的第一印象。

Dj Quietstorm / 4ce Finger和《Japanese Allen Human Being》的封面在一堆唱片中鹤立鸡群，两人的面相真够意思，特别是背面的Quietstorm更像个恶棍。我喜欢的日说扒着手指算也就那么几个，我想了想能够喜欢这兄弟俩儿的原因：4ce Finger的flow够邪恶，Quietstorm多少依靠他的美国西岸背景做出正点的beat。日本hip-hop crossover在今天已经可以当作成功的范例作为参考蓝本，我们呢？呵...

刚和小潘无意聊到唱片的问题，说了两点：

1. 现在的时代收集唱片已经不被尊重了，恩，硬盘可以轻易dis掉你的收藏；

2. 2006年非常奇怪的现象是CD的销量在急剧下降、MP3开始称霸，可黑胶的销量却达到了历史的又一高峰（此观点未经本人考证）。

这两个话题我延伸的想了想，哦，其实在今天大家也该弄明白为什么中国有这么多牛逼的乐迷却没有一个登得上国际舞台的hip-hop艺人，或者为什么有这么多牛逼轰轰的乐评人却从没对唱片包装设计提出过任何建设性的想法。这跟收姑娘和收A片的区别差不多，不同的是很多人只把音乐当作一种生活的附加而不是生理的必须罢了。数字音乐只是一种方便食品，能吃饱肚子就够了。五谷道场都倒闭了，咱就别提营养话题了。

还是请各位听到自己喜欢的音乐后，不要忘记想办法珍藏一张唱片吧！

不能不佩服日本的唱片业。

只出过两张唱片名不见经传的Jazz Rap乐团Dragon Fli Empire（DFE）在Blues Interactions下出版了一张《Inquest》的精选辑。DFE那bring the soul back to hip hop的口号一语双关：他们试图找回hip-hop的灵魂，也将逝去的Jazz/Funk/Soul带回自己的作品中，大大迎合了如今Jazz Rap的全球化潮流。

听后感，两个字：“舒服”！

Dragon Fli Empire is a Calgary-based hip hop duo that has quickly gained critical acclaim across Canada and beyond. The team of Teekay (emcee) and Cosm (DJ) aim to "bring the soul back to hip hop" with funky and melodic beats, thought-provoking rhymes and killer cuts.

Originally formed as a side collaboration project, the DFE released their first album "Conquest" as a local CD-R in the summer of 2002. It featured "Mount Pleasant", now a Calgary classic. The song recalls observing life while riding the bus over an infectious groove. College radio, local press and countless music lovers gave the tunes rave reviews. The buzz only continued to grow in 2003, with CBC Radio 3 naming "Mount Pleasant" one of their top twenty tracks of the year.

2004 saw even more growth for the DFE. "Conquest" was cleaned up and re-released professionally with some new tracks including the popular "D-E-F". The group continued to receive support from CBC. This included performing on the Radio 3 "Connect the Dots" tour, appearing on the New Music Canada Vol. 1 compilation CD and taping live performances for ZeD-TV. More radio stations began to spin the DFE regularly including CKUA in Edmonton. The group also began to perform more regularly, and to date have opened up for established acts like De La Soul, The Beatnuts, Lyrics Born, Aceyalone, Lyrics Born, Zion I, Afu Ra, Planet Asia, Abstract Rude, Royce da 5'9, Swollen Members and Sweatshop Union. They were also invited to perform at the WCMA Industry Awards at the Palliser Hotel in Calgary. An important detail to note is that the DFE has accomplished all of this without a record deal, distribution or management; while working full time jobs or attending college.

Now in the year 2005, the DFE is still going strong. They have been featured on CBC's flagship news program "The National" with Peter Mansbridge and MuchMusic's "Going Coastal" for the prestigious "MUCH does Calgary" showcase. They have also started to take their high-energy live show on the road, playing cities like Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto.

Perhaps the most exciting news for this year is that the DFE will release their long-anticipated second album- "Invasion". Reflecting three years of added experience, it is a step up from "Conquest" and is certain to give the group even more momentum. The album goes from fun and funky to more serious territory, taking the listener on an enjoyable and diverse journey. Special guests (including Mindbender, Ndidi Cascade, Epic, Ohmega Watts and folk-singer Tariq) plus a sprinkling of live musicians are the icing on the cake for this fantastic sophomore project.
