I know there are a lot of Edan fans on here, I'm just wondering what everyone who has the new one thinks of it. The press is eating it up. I'm glad, he deserves it. I'm definitely a big fan and I couldn't be happier with it. Anybody familiar with tape delays, is that what he's primarily useing for his psych delays? I've yet to read an interview where he talks about his production methods but I'd be more then interested to read about them.

    it took me a few listens to warm to the new edan but i like it now. he defenitley is using a tape delay machine for those effects, and it even sounds like he is recording his samples through the machine, using it as a pre-amp. the delays bugged me at first but i like it now...

    i think he uses one of those boss digital delay stomp boxes. at least thats what he uses live.

    Hi,

    I'm liking the album. Didn't think that dude could put out a meaningful follow-up to "Primative Plus"...I'm happy to be wrong!

    Peace

    Yeah, it's dope. And thank god it's only 13 tracks and 35 minutes long, cause I am so fucking sick of self-indulgent, 18 track, 70 minute albums. YOU. ARE. NOT. THAT. DOPE.

    [color:white] Yeah, shit is absurd. What, you can't put your own pasty face on the cover of the record? Why are there a bunch of black people you don't know on the cover of the record? By the way Reynaldo, too bad all your alter aliases are gone you friendless freak. Has it made the conversation in your head less interesting? [/color]

    [color:white] I like the album and I like the cover. It's an homage to the emcees that have influenced him, nothing else. But I'm not about to take on the whole NYC contingent so PEACE![/color]

    Exactly.

    My problem lies with the journalist who will cover this record because Edan is white.

    How about not worrying about what he looks like and just enjoying this great album for what it is?

    I think we are nearing a general consensus, which is understandable since Edan has given us a glimpse of the post-hip-hop music that so many are waiting for--and it's beautiful.

    Kind of hard to call something "album of the year" in early April.

    I think I've made my opinion of this album pretty clear in other threads, but i'm glad to hear that it's getting "good press" (if being called "the missing link between DJ shadow and Eminem" is good press), although it does seem to be from mostly non-hip hop sources.

    I'd say it's album of the year *so far*

    im really enjoying it. just bought it and dubbed it to MD. Played it 6 or 7 times in the last couple days. a work of art. I think the B-side is stronger but its something you can definitly play beginnning to end.

    Rock n roll is my favourite and that Dagha dude really slays it. Other favourites: Smile, Making Planets, Murder Mystery.

    he used a boss digital delay pedal when i saw him but it sounds like an old school echoplex with all that crunchy wooshing.

    its early to say my favourite album this year but its real solid for sure.

    This album is better than his single "Sing it shitface"???? I am finding that hard to believe...

    I'm pretty sure he told me he used an Echoplex when I interviewed a couple weeks back, I'll double check for y'all.

    Edan is dope.


    I don't know about all the hype or whatever, but he's been making good shit for a minute.

    Have you NY duderinos even heard this album? Not to get my journalistic integrity on but he's handling that one foot in the past, one towards the future pretty well.
