Sunrise Over Bklyn

[PrOLifiK]

Ok the story here is El-P has a six piece band which he conducts. This is a pretty sweet instrumental...sometimes funky..soulfull, and dark. This is far from what we are used to seeing from El-P and I think hes got some skills as a composer of live instruments as well. How sick would it be to have your own six piece band to play whatever you told them too

That'd be tight, but I heard that album is pretty wack unfortunatly.?.?
I dunno if thats true cuz i havent heard it yet, but i really like EL-P and if it sux thats a disapointment i guess. Its cool hes try in new things but i dunno about straying too far away from what makes him, well, EL-P?...thats a tough one i guess??...I suppose ill wait to hear it for myself before i really have my own opinion.

The album aint wack, but if you are an el p fan and your expecting it to be like his prior productions you prolly wont like it.

 

[Shonsteez]

Cool, cool. Ill jus have to check it out - im pretty dam open minded when it comes to music.

word up live shit is the bomb. shouldbe an interesting listen cos el-p's style is hella heavy and electronic.

humm...

1. the album is called "high waters" and not sunrise over brklyn (sunrise over brkling is the name of a song on it that they put out as a 10" like 4 months ago)
2. it isn't HIS band. He conducted a bit. But they are very skillful musician and improvisator. I really don't think el-p had much to say on the composition... It's seems like El-p was just there to record them and retouch the recordings.
3. It's really a jazz album. Anybody heard Antipop vs Matthew shipp on the same label? that was way more hiphop than this disc...
All that being said I find the album really good, but then again it's not an el-p album and I don't know much about jazz.
