  • Фанк Соул Бразерс 20/06/08 Fatboy SLim, Leeroy Thornhill, Groove Armada @ Tuborg…

    13 Jul 2008, 20:15 by sjprodigy

    Fri 20 Jun – Tuborg Greenfest



    Высвободив свободное время, рискну написать небольшой отчет.

    Давно хотелось заглянуть в Москву, а тут выпал такой великолепный шанс - Лирой и Норман сразу.

    Выходные дни проведенные на выезде прошли довольно успешно. Путешествие в оба конца была нескучной, благодаря моим сопутчикам - eXhaustic и Ecosee.

    Сам московский Гринфест немного разочаровал. Тот же прошлогодний Гринфест в Киеве был куда симпатичнее.

    Среди плюсов выделю: отличную погоду к концу, опенэйр, и холодный чай. Минусы: быдло, быдло, а также, быдло с пивом и сигаретами - танцующее или просто тупо стоящее в первых рядах; стандартные дебильные конкурсы от туборга ; стремных гого, которых видно набирали в ближайших общагах.


    Первым выступал вечный ex-Prodigy Leeroy Thornhill. Сразу же зарядил свою брейксовую жвачку, которую затем разбавил Breathe, а потом снова смесь электро и брейкса где-то минут на 40.
    Вторая часть его микса была куда интереснее: сет из хитов The Prodigy начиная от Out Of Space и заканчивая Girls (среди прочего был даже Spitfire), вперемешку с классическими Blur - PlaySong 2, RATM - Killing in the Name Of, House Of Pain - PlayJump Around, Public Enemy - PlayWelcome to the Terrordome.
    Мои Highlights: слем на Their Law; трек Poison; неожиданное отсутствие Break & Enter(а жаль, Лирой обычно превращает этот трек в испытание для тела :р).
    И вот Лирой закончил играть, как всегда он раздал всем автографы и сфотографировался с каждым желающим. Молодчина. 8/10

    Далее Groove Armada. Во время их выступления успели в небольшой компании чуваков с theprodigy.ru непринужденно пообщаться, сидя на травке.
    Со сцены доносится прямой бит, отыграли ГА очень хреново, ничего знакомого (я глупый - ждал My Friend или Purple Haze, на крайняк), лучше уже случшать их студийки. Разочаровали. 1/10

    И вот хедлайнер - Fatboy Slimвыходит на сцену. Небольшим десантом в первые ряды, под звуки старого доброго Praise You. Но буквально через минуту Норман всех обламывает и запускает прямую бочку. Хаус, хаус, хаус. Хотя потом все-таки сыграны такие вещи как: Right Here, Right Now; Star 69; Weapon Of Choice; Rockafelar Skank и держитесь за стулья.... (!!!!!) Renegate Master!
    Местами всплывали другие темы - Ya Mama; In Heaven; Bird Of Prey, но они были настолько моментны, что не стоит на них даже задерживаться.
    Отдельными хайлайтами выступления Нормана стали: его поведение - просто фантастическая энергетика его шоу, бездна позитива - чего только стоит его бегание босиком, постоянные ужимки и бесконечные салюты публике; фича Нормана с напяливанием футболки сборной, той страны в которой он выступает, как всегда принесла ему бурю оваций и восхищенных откликов; быдло во время его выступления окуппировало все места (с одним представителем у меня даже возник конфликт); и как я и говорил Ренегейт Мастер.
    Музыкой (читай Хаусом) Норман почти не удивил, мне хватило записей его выступлений до этого, но сам он, безусловно, легенда и фантастически положительный шоумэн. 8/10

    Надеюсь еще не раз заехать в Москву. Хайлайты поездки: хостел, азеры на Киевском вокзале в Москве, "итальянки", чешки, ребята с продиджи.ру, продиджи туса в синтипоп клубе!!!, Россия- Голландия, двери в МакДаке в Китай-Городе, российские таможенники(эх...) и московская милиция (вот уж кому респект и уважуха).

    Уважение и благодарности следующим особам: eXhaustic, Ecosee, maxx, promaster, anfecor, Texter, Provadd, Serge, Firmach, Vixen, а также всем другим кого не упомянул. Было действительно приятно и классно встретиться с Вами!

  • overdue review: saul williams - the inevitable rise and liberation of niggy tardust!

    10 Dec 2007, 15:32 by neraulia

    I wrote this awhile ago and posted it in my LiveJournal, but this seems like a more appropriate place for it, so I've moved it here.

    As you probably know by now, Saul Williams's latest album was produced by Trent Reznor. I had not heard Saul's previous music, but purchased The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust! out of respect for Trent's work and a belief that anything he supported so strongly would be worth listening to. That, and the fact that the price was $5 (or free). It refuses to fit neatly into any genre. If you haven't downloaded it yet, you can get it at Saul Williams's site.

    I was not disappointed. The album is creative, which sounds like a redundant thing to say about music until you consider current RIAA-approved, Clear Channel-controlled radio. Saul started as a spoken word artist, so while I expected the lyrics to be top-notch (and they are), I was surprised to hear the richness and beautiful tone of his singing voice.

    PlayBlack History Month starts things off strong. It straddles the line between consciousness and "money, ho's and rims" (to quote Kanye West), but keeps most of its weight on the conscious side. The lyrics on this and other songs could be published poetry without the beats, and he spits them so fast that I had to read along to keep up.

    PlayConvict Colony heads more in a rock direction. And why not? Black people invented rock. But that's another post. The song reminds us that the ancestors of many black Americans had no say in their immigration to this country.

    PlayTr(n)igger contains heavy samples from a Public Enemy song called PlayWelcome to the Terrordome, which I really need to go listen to, so that I can get a sense of the original context. My favorite lines: "Would Jesus Christ come back American? What if he's Iraqi and he's here again?"

    Sunday, Bloody Sunday is a U2 remake. Most covers of famous songs just make me want to hear the original. This version holds its own, though the drums could have been changed up a little more. Hearing Saul sing it changes the mental setting from Ireland to inner-city U.S.

    PlayBreak was the first song that Trent leaked in advance of the album's release. It describes the mental stress that daily life as a low-income, inner city black man can produce. Subtle, constant, negative messages about identity must be consciously let go of, lest they overpower. It's a daily beat that could make anyone break.

    NiggyTardust cleverly plays with what may be a mostly white audience, letting them know that the album's title shouldn't make them feel too comfortable. It also sets out the tenet loving yourself requires loving others: "you are yourself, my darling dear, and were never a n-----."

    PlayDNA has some bass that just begs to be turned up. My car doesn't have great speakers, but "DNA" makes me want to go buy some and drive around all day. Intense, meditative lyrics, amazing flow - if I had to pick a standout track, this would be it.

    PlayWTF! lets the listener in on a secret. You've been brainwashed; now it's time to get your brain dirty again. "Bring yourself to be yourself." Saul's mesmerizing voice makes individual authenticity seem possible.

    On PlayScared Money Saul admits to feeling "alone, homeless, peerless." Based on the quality of this album, he's right about the "peerless" part. Saul contrasts stereotypes of black people with an unshakable belief in the power of humankind to rise above their circumstances.

    PlayRaw is intimate and earthy. The drum's heartbeat conjures up an incense-scented room, tapestries, wooden floors, thick blankets... the rest you'll have to imagine for yourself...

    PlaySkin Of A Drum focuses on the pain inherent in life, and how it can prevent us from connecting with those we love. We edit the way we present ourselves to the world. We're afraid that lowering the facade will make us vulnerable.

    PlayNo One Ever Does is an intense song that showcases Saul's voice. It touches on the search for God and the idea of finding love within.

    PlayBanged And Blown Through explores the devaluation of human life in inner cities. What potential is lost? What contributions to the world are missed because people's individual "orchestras" are not protected?

    PlayRaised To Be Lowered lets Saul's lyrical talent shine, as he delivers amazing lines about being true to yourself and meshing with the world instead of fighting it. He talks about being one with your art ("throw away the pen and pad and simply be the poem ... fuck the words, just ride the beat"), and then contrasts that high ideal with pernicious self-doubt ("was I raised to be lowered?).

    PlayThe Ritual. The lyrics in the file say that we're supposed to "stop reading and dance." Hmm. I hate to end the review on a low note, but this song really didn't do it for me. Caricatured, overly macho boasting doesn't even make a good dance track...

    Bottom line, if you're still debating about putting down your $0.33 per track, you might as well go for it. You get to hear a bunch of solid music, and tell the music industry dinosaurs to FOAD.

  • The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!

    15 Nov 2007, 18:43 by rajmund69

    Jeszcze przed wydaniem Year Zero Trent Reznor sporo mówił, że pomaga Saulowi Williamsowi (just a little reminder: Saul Williams - nowojorski raper-filozof, który supportował NIN podczas trasy latem 2005) przy nagrywaniu nowej solowej płyty. Panowie musieli się dobrze dogadywać, bo w końcu Williams pojawił się w dwóch wałkach na ostatnim albumie NIN, zrobił też remix pierwszego singla - PlaySurvivalism. A teraz, za sprawą strony www.niggytardust.com, udostępnia za darmo swój najnowszy krążek The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! - tak jak ostatnio zrobili Radiohead. Nie jestem jakimś wielkim fanem hip-hopu, poprzednie płyty Saula zupełnie mi nie podeszły, ale ten krążek od razu mi się bardzo spodobał i myślę, że wielu podzielającym moje odczucia do tego gatunku muzyki i już z góry do tego albumu uprzedzonym, również przypadłby on do gustu. Czemu? Zerk w dołączoną do "płyty" książeczkę w formacie .pdf: Trent Reznor skomponował (bądź współkomponował) 11 z 15 kawałków. I faktycznie - wyraźnie czuć, że płyta ta była nagrywana równocześnie z ninowym Year Zero. Jeśli założyć, że ostatni album macierzystej formacji Reznora to serial (bo i takowy planuje na jego podstawie El Rezzo zrealizować), The Inevitable.. można by spokojnie nazwać jego cross-overem: zarówno klimatowo, jak i brzmieniowo. Podobnie jak tam, tak i na tym krążku aż roi się od noisowych, "popsutych" dźwięków, panuje też podobny minimalizm aranżacyjny (najbardziej wyraźny na przykładzie - skądinąd bardzo udanego - coveru legendarnego protest songu U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday). Z tymże o ile na Year Zero minimalizm ten często ustępował miejsca najczystszemu w świecie prostactwu, tak do muzyki czarnoskórego rapera pasuje jak ulał (PlayConvict Colony - prawie jak yearzerowy PlayVessel, PlayBreak - podobny klimat ulicznych zamieszek, co w Surivivalism). Muzycznie jednak najbliżej tej płycie innej pozycji z dyskografii Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile. Nic dziwnego, skoro The Inevitable.. powstawała na bazie niewydanych odrzutów z tego właśnie albumu. Efekt rewelacyjny - np. w prawie-że-tytułowym NiggyTardust, gdzie ziomalskie zwrotki skontrastowane są z wyciszonym, fortepianowym refrenem (na końcu jeszcze słyszymy oldschoolowo przetworzony elektronicznie wokal, co bezsprzecznie wynosi ten kawałek na szczyt highlightów całego albumu), a PlayNo One Ever Does to nie nosząca już zupełnie żadnych hiphopowych znamion, bardzo ładna balladka. Zatem miłośnicy najbardziej lirycznych wcieleń Trenta Reznora również powinni się tą płytą zainteresować, zważywszy że wokal Saula bardzo często przywodzi na myśl barwę lidera NIN. A co z miłośnikami poprzednich dokonań zioma Williamsa, którzy nie oczekują od niego żadnego dark industrial rapu, lecz bardziej klasycznych nawijek? Też nie poczują się zawiedzeni - dostają chociażby plemienny PlayScared Money czy oparty na samplach z PlayWelcome to the Terrordome Public Enemy PlayTr(n)igger. Zatem wilk syty, owca cała, a Rajmund szczęśliwy, bo wreszcie może w tym roku z czystym sercem pochwalić jakiś krążek podpisany nazwiskiem lidera swojego ulubionego zespołu. Polecam zarówno czarnym, jak i białym - jedna z ciekawszych płyt tego roku.
