Nuno Canavarro - Plux Quba
"Koln, Germany around 1991. After a 40-minute train ride from Aachen, Christoph Heemann and Jim O'Rourke are sitting around with Jan St. Werner, C-Schulz, Frank Dommert and George Odjik. Heemann has brought with him a strange obscure disc (what else?) from Portugal by some group called "Plux Quba." Or is it the record? The label? Who knows, because no one here reads Portuguese, dummy! But what they do know when the needle hits the groove is that they've never heard anything like it. Attempts to cite reference points are soon given up, there are some similarities to Robert Ashley's later work, but even that is deceiving. It is simple, gentle, melodic, and yet completely alien. Originally released in 1988 on Ama Romanta, and reissued last in 1998 on Moikai."

glad to see a thread up this week - I can do something next week
starting listening now...
>>
>1
Reminds me of Dizzy's Be-Bop. Pretty nimble piano playing - Bud Powell maybe? Has that kind of feel of going even too fast times that Art Tatum has sometimes, but I don't know if Tatum ever played in this kind of bebop-heavy quartet setting...
Very high octane playing. Charlie Parker maybe?
Pretty enjoyable bebop, strong on chops. Early 50's I'd reckon.
>2
Do I hear trombone and baritone? Is this some kind of Bob Brookmeyer/Gerry Mulligan thing? Did they ever play with a pianist, though?
The latin beat gives this a nice air of mystery. Cool.
Seems to end prematurely at 2:08 for me.
>3
A looser avant-garde leaning feel. Trumpeter certainly isn't afraid of going a little out there.
Reminds me of Don Cherry and Wadada Leo Smith, but sounds a little earlier than Smith's first recordings, but it's hard to tell with more avant stuff.
There appear to be two horns, though - trumpet and trombone? Two trumpets?
I can dig this. Pretty cool AACM style feel.
>>
>4
Is the mystery theme something that links one track to the next in chronological order? We are certainly moving through time and there could be something that's in common with each track and the next.
The trumpet playing feels stylishly like an evolution from 3, but the piano is very modern post-bop style, feels even formulaic for me.
I was thinking that maybe this is Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet, but the rhythm section feels a bit too straight for that.
>5
The feel of progression to more modern styles with each track continues.
Here the rhythm section is more interesting than in 4.
When the trumpet solo comes in, you can hear that this trumpeter is no stranger to Miles Davis' 60's music. He sounds a lot like Miles.
This track was losing me, but the trumpet solo did catch my interest again.
I kind of wish the head and swinging part were more in 60's Miles' style as well, actually.
>6
This one has a bit of a identity problem. Can't decide whether it wants to be a post-Coltrane freak out or something a lot smoother.
The guitar solo is pretty cool. Something in the Derek Bailey - Mary Halvorson continuum.
The pretty wide shifts in mood seemed odd at first, but it worked out pretty well in the end, I think.

I want to buy a cheap hardware synthesizer to learn synthesizers. I have no experience what so ever. Budget: 500$ tops.
Does anybody here have experience with any of the following synths: Arturia Microbrute, Novation Bass Station II, Novation Mininova, Korg Monologue, Korg Minilogue
Which one of these would be best suited for a synth noob? Feel free to recommend others.

I have a mininova, it's pretty cool but I don't use it much.
Definitely makes some awesome sounds though, and it's quite powerful.

Pick your poison:
>A self-proclaimed hipster whose majority listens are top 500 albums on RYM, and doesn't deviate from anything below a 3.60 average
>A cynical and jaded ""avant-teen"" who has listened to top 500 albums but claims he hates them to attain his own status, despite getting the majority of his taste from word of mouth or /daily/
>A poptimistic seemingly nice guy who goes out of his way to ensure himself that pop music is better than the averages seem while being critical towards anything that hasn't had radio play or ~1,000,000+ views on youtube

That's not how life works
Why has such a small-time microgenre like hip-hop been given such elevated stature?
Consider the greats of rock - Bowie, Dylan, The Beatles, Neil Young, Floyd, Sabbath... all of these produced shittons of legendary albums spanning multiple decades and styles. Then look at the supposed "greats" of hip-hop - many of them were barely able to cobble together one decent album, then settled into utter shit for the rest of their career (think Nas, Wu-Tang, Mos Def, Snoop, Kanye) - a few others managed to produce a few good albums but were still only hot for 3-4 years max (Tribe, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Outkast)
So why aren't hip-hop "artists" held to the same standards of quality as rock artists? Is this a product of what they call "white guilt"?

Jay Z has topped the charts with every record he's released. White guilt only goes so far.

Yeah but he's been producing turd for like 15 years

>>70921346
Hip hop today like techno us 35/40 years old both have multiple substyles and are as old as rock was in the 90s.
Was rock still a microgenre in 1992?

Take notes, idiots. Clean,straight-to-the-point, photo of the artist. No posing for the photo or any of that extra hipster crap but just him and his bass. Look at that face he knows he doesn't need to do anything else because he know the music can stand on its own.

You say that but this guy took his double bass outside in the middle of the night to take a photo so he clearly cared enough and thought it was cool.
