    but right now i mostly can't get that "ugly people be quiet" intro out of my head.

    Tears for Fears' "Head over Heels"?

    beatnuts- do you believe



    electric piano? vibes? guitar?
    Pretty somber regardless.

    Also, peep 'Many Men', fiddy loves the somber piano intro, all of Aftermath come to think about it...

    The main loop was a piano, not the intro.

    Yes, this is my shit!

    I was listening to Get Rich... the other day... really good album that dare I say is slept on? at least by the soulstrut set.

    there are some tunes listed here that are neither somber nor piano. I am concerned that people supposedly so deep into music are unable to identify "somber" and "piano"

    Son - you know "reading comprehension" is not high on the skills list of Strutters in general. I'm surprised no one's been posting up bassline songs.

    I'm surprised no one posted up "Fudge Pudge" though I'm not sure how "somber" it really is.

    some somber keys on the intro to 'Romper Room,' as well. more electro, and with the speech, but still 'of a time'.

    Nine - Redrum
    PRT - Miss Ghetto (a little humming in there, but you get the point)
    Spice 1 - Tell Me What That Mail Like
    OK - Fudge Pudge (a stretch)

    That's the second thing that came to mind.

    Ultramagentic MC's - Funky came to mind. I dont know if Cocker's piano is somber enuff though.

    Hey Raj,

    That is one of my favorite tracks off of "Soul Survivors."  It's such a departure for Pete Rock in terms of mood.  Great pick!
