!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For real. I love the variety here.
b/w
That Can shit is super-slick.
Went with Soul Slut... Dennis Cappucino ran it close.
Liked #7 too.
heat all around
Nevermind. Gave it some time and now it's working.
#9 for me. It reminded me more of 24 Carat Black Theme.
5) Last Week of October - so differently dope
6) November = wow mind fuct
8) Slow-Down-Scorpio!! - BOOM!
10) Score Peon - dancing in my seat
as i listened i typed out shit for the tracks i thought were the illest^^^^ thats what i came up with...such a sick assortment of beats all so different, November stood out the most to me as i was completely not expecting it...such dope snare rolls, just a killer track, i'd buy that shit on vinyl if i could...sayin, remined me of some ol LTJ Bukem goods...
those are my top five in no order...
*Voted
#8 = SICK
im not sure in which order yet, and ill still give the others some more time to marinate. but those last three are killing it
i didnt even read what number 9 was called and the 24karat/biz/vitamin c baseline jumped out, super recognizably. then the crazy ass way the vitamin c melody sounds!! what!!!!!
-6 DnB Stylings, love it
But for me the winner has to be
8 GODDAMN, that's SICK
Indeed. Great stuff from everybody!
These three are my faves so far:
November (balzing uptempo madness)
Slow-Down-Scorpio!! (guitar/bass stab sickness)
Coffey Plays Can (mind blown)
With honorable mentions to:
Dennis Cappuccino
Soul Slut Scorpio Bitch
Tough choice. Gonna let it marinate for a while before placing my vote.
And I might just have to give it to Can for covering one song with samples from another. Awesome concept!
On second listen, that one's the clear winner for me. Amazing flip, right down to the drum programming. I've made breaks imitate other breaks before, but completely reworking a song to make it imitate another song? Incredible.
I've always thought that "Scorpio"--with that massed, piercing high end--was just an exceedingly harsh, mean record. It's got that great groove, but also a really grating, Bernard Herrmann Psycho quality. That's one of the things I love about it. "Scrapio" has that same kind of nastiness, but gets it on its own, with a sound that doesn't lean too much on the sonics of the original. I like concepts and flow and everything as much as the next two guys, but there's also something to be said for sheer relentlessness.
Nice work, whoever you are.
but how did he get that kind of bass purity?
