Afra "Digital Breath"

He produced this album by this japanese beatboxer which came out a few months ago and I really do think it's pretty wack. Could provide samples for interested heads.
Yo Mondeyano, interested head here.

F. N. Mimizu Since it's such hardly an album, just 15 minutes worth, here is the whole thing.

20 posts in, damn my thread on the new album last week went for a mere 2

maybe I had to proclaim it as album of the year to attract attention

anyways, as noz notes he's becoming rather prolific, seems like he flips a few old tricks on the new LP but thats not necessarily a bad thing .. I quite like it

 
i thought vocal studies was pretty blah... the second lp was absolutely horrible.. kinda dug some of the bits on the outtakes record.

havent paid any attention since.

he may have been inovative but i think vocal studies is already one of the most dated records of the last 5 years.

you know, i pulled this out tonight and i'm inclined to agree. i still like the songs with mikah and sam prekop, but otherwise it's practically unlistenable. and this is coming from someone who absolutely loved it when it first came out. talk about running an interesting style into the ground (between prefuse and all those machine drum dabrye guys).

dabrye is one dude (with multiple psuedo's)

what happened to that multisanta guy who used to run a prefuse website - he changed his handle but I can't recall his new one ..

yeah but machine drum is someone else who also makes the same kinda prefusey beats, hence the "all those guys"

i think the question is what happened to the prefuse that used to make music worth running a website about?

Hi

I just wanted to let you know that I disagree with you-
I thought One Word Extinguisher was beautiful and still sounds fresh after repeated listening.

Vocal Studies had some interesting bits but I could never really get into it.

Haven't heard the new album yet.
 
i think that the "extinguished" companion ep is the most enjoyable prefuse work. mainly because everythings like a minute and a half long and doesn't get too repeative too fast.
 
my favourite rap track he did was the five deez faceless remix. does anyone know what that sample is? it really clangs like a bunch of dragons are having a parade with cymbals

i like the new album. not all of it but some of it. the two tyondai braxton tracks, the two on!air!library! tracks... the linda perhacs track. the shaolin finale is beautiful as well.

looking forward to seeing him live, but moreso to see battles open for him. they are crazy good.

i dont really hear the datedness of his old stuff though? im feeling really 2001 guys.
 
the five dees remix is sampled from, I believe and smack me if I'm wrong, Medeski, Martin and Wood. Can't remember the album. 47% sure.
