haunting

So why they spent only five days on this? What was the point? The second track sounds like an early sketch or something made by some amateur.

If I remember correctly Damon Albarn said in an interview they only had 5 days to record it because it cost so much to get everyone and their gear over to Kinshasa. Don't think this is another Warchild-esque project where the aim was to make a record in as little time as possible.

i don't hear amateur

really good stuff! amazing they got it all done in less than a week!

Albarn doesn't stop. what a completely amazingly musical nutcase! - love it.

will be purchasing fo' sure.

ah congo

same here! i don't hear Rustie or Bibio or Hudson Mo'Fo, or anybody else that Adam likes, either

It's not the matter of what I like. You probably have a wrong opinion about my taste too, sirch.

This track is just very poorly made. I'm surprised you don't hear it. Listen to the bass. Listen to the same loop that goes trough the whole song. It doesn't really go anywhere too.

^ i actually really really like that! lol

i don't think it's "poorly made" at all. i'm actually suprised you don't like it.

translate it and i'm fairly sure you'd be satisfied that it went somewhere enough...

really like that bass. and that dudes voice.

like troon said, "haunting".

I spent a lot of my time trying to figure out what the fuck was going on, really. It was a completely mad environment, and I just tried to take it all in and keep my head together. The clubbing experience was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, to be honest with you. The clubs were incredible, the music they were playing was incredible; it was a cross between R&B and Kiss FM in its heyday, it had a commercial rawness that I like, and lots of cut-ups and bootlegs, crazy hyper DJs adding their own voodoo sounds to the mix, it was just all going off. I think Damon said recently that it’s strange that people look down on Africa culturally, and with the parts of the Congo I saw, particularly the club scene, the vitality was stronger than anything I’ve experienced in London or anywhere in Europe. It was so different.

I didn't expected that at all... that there is a rocking electronic scene in the Congo....

The whole album has been put up to stream on Soundcloud.

Some really interesting moments on here, but the amount of ideas flying about can be a bit overwhelming, which I guess is going to be inevitable given the amount of people on it. Reckon this one is going to need a few listens for it to sink in.

I don't like it that I don't know which producers are responsible for which tracks... only the African people get credit like it seems. Or is there any information like that out there?

thx plees

Thanks for the stream link. Was curious about this one.

sounds good on first listen

i've been quite excited by 'ah congo', 'we come from the forest' and 'respect of the rules. 'customs', 'virginia' and 'departure' sound really good as well

kwes has been signed by warp. haven't heard much of his stuff, but his ep on young turks is good...
