Flying Lotus:
a spacial journey in sound. don't listen to reset, 1983, or cosmogramma with any expectation of anything. just sit back and enjoy. as always this record especially is supreme with headphones. sort of a techy, hip-hop, journey. his music is often used as the transitional music on cartoon network fyi.
Coltrane (Lush Life, in particular):
smoking smoking, SMOKING grooves. easy time period of jazz. the late 1950's in american jazz was in my eyes the absolute pinnacle of anything that ever was or ever will be, jazz. Why? well, jazz like many styles of music, has gone through phases. they are best related to "musical seasons". where in the late 1950s you have whats called "tonal" jazz. its that nice slow, smokey dark, sultry music. before and after the 57-59' tonal jazz era you had, be-bop (which was just like cramming as many fucking notes as you could in a bar, see charlie parker) and the first versions of "new-jazz" (strange off the wall stuff from ornette coleman) respectively.
anyway, the title track, and "like someone in love" are supreme, (a love supreme? sorry bad joke for all you coltrane fans, i know).
im going to try and keep this up again on this blog now as opposed to the other one. look for it on mondays!
