Search Party

As the music making community continues to thrash about in the dark, looking for the way out and forward, we'll probably see more of this type of thing. New Fusion or whatever the name becomes eventually, it's the roundup off all the forms that came before - squeezed through a kind of 'hip-hop juicer' to produce a likable,albeit mildly confusing, musical product. You ever want to hear Tom Waits duet with Kool Keith? Walk this way. How about Chuck D, David Byrne, and Seu Jorge running wild on a track? This is the music of NASA(North America South America), D.J. Squeaky Clean and D.J. Zegon. And it ain't BAD. Not bad meaning bad but not bad meaning good, na'mean'? Now I think i'm known for having eclectic musical taste, to say the least. So I know where the idea is coming from. Do I want to hear how wildflower Karen O hangs with Ol' Dirty bastard and Pharcyde's Phatlip?
Yes,actually. But I don't want it to sound as if both styles have been watered down in the process. And too many special quest stars just screams inside job - like a music industry Oceans 11. Stop being silly everybody, fuck.

I do like the RZA track with the female vocal, at the end of the Megamix, and Pode Fumar Remix has something to it, real slinky, a little dark.

I admit, I hate on stuff a bit cuz' I've heard it before, and done a little better to be honest. Or at least with a higher level of creative intent. Just because you can grab a few famous folks passing in the hall, doesn't mean good music is being made. It reminds me of when Diddy got Jimmy Page for the disgusting 'Come With Me'.



How you gonna ruin Godzilla, the Kashmir break, and the IDEA of fusing styles all at once?
