Digable Planets 'Reachin' ist nun auch 25 Jahre alt. Wie die Zeit vergeht.
Unser Buddy Chris Read hat mal wieder ein fantastisches Jubiläums-Mixtape gezaubert. Immer auf der Suche nach den Quellen, immer auf dem Beat und immer mit den feinsten Tunes. Diesmal sind 25 Jahre Digable Planets das Topic, denn das Debüt-Album der Jazz Hopper kam 1993 heraus. Ich schreibe nur "A Nickel Bag of Funk" - na, ist der Groschen gefallen?An album as memorable for its rich jazz-heavy sample material as it is for its evocation of the post-civil rights era poetry. The lead single 'Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)' won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a duo or group in 1994 and the LP is frequently lauded as a classic of the era, largely due its innovative use of jazz.Aber wenn wir uns dieses Mixtape anhören, dann hat der Rap und der Sound nichts von Oldschool an sich. Es grooved natürlich wie Sau und geht ins Kopfnicken über. Ja, man feiert gerne mit.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Digable Planets' 1993 debut LP 'Reachin'' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)', our friend Chris Read has crafted a fine tribute mix. Enjoy!
Chris hat also wieder für die Wax Poetics die Plattenteller bearbeitet. Anhören, liken.
