Galt Mcdermot Documentary (trailer related)

  • I dunno maybe since I don't get all "squirty" over "beat digger bullshit" , but why do people swing on Galt's nuts so much? I mean I've flipped through his LP's and a lot of that shit is ZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz (aside from Hot Coffe Cold and "ripped open..."). Really not feeling how they keep trying to force this dude onto us thinking he's a forgotten genius or something.

    Am I missing something?

    only faggets witouht actual ears would think his ass is brilliant. I swear Ego needs to hang-up his hard-on for early 90's nostalgia beat digging and be like "this shit sounds like every 12$ private press i find at a record show"

    Cotton Comes to Harlem soundtrack is some serious shit. Dope as hell.


    I'd like to hear some of the more obscure stuff - some people say it's bonkers, while others claim it's over-rated.

    I thought this record was a little boring. I only like maybe 2 tracks on it.

    I still wouldn't mind having that Nucleus lp though...

    there is so much blasphemy happening in this thread.

    Galt has a crazy piano style that I love. Kinda like a more soulful Thelonious Monk. Hair is such a strsange and fascinating play and I think the rhythms and melodies that galt contributed is the main reason.

    LTTSI is hottt to deff

    admitedly his style isn't for everyone but I dig him a whole lot and he is more than just sample fodder

    haha, I thought that would catch some attention. I meant more in his playing style than in his actual ability.



    I break down most jazz piano players as either more Bud Powell-like or Thelonious Monk-like, with like 95% of musicians I hear falling under the Powell style. Galts style is a little more abstrct yet incorporates funky and soulful elements so therefore I place him a little more on the Monk side.



  • This has some good moments. Bernard purdie on drums.

    I have the Bey and remember feeling the same way when I brought it home, and I haven't listened to it since... that was 3 years ago. The cover is great though. I'm getting ready to move, and just about to rifle through the entire collection to get rid of "filler" or at least non-essentials.

    Duffer on Nucleus is what's what.

    i like Nucleus. GHetto Suite has a few cool tracks too

  • but why do people swing on Galt's nuts so much?


    "Space" is a great track... he's no forgotten genius tho. Playing ability isn't incredible, and his compositions are nothing overly original with the exception of a few (the above, "Ripped open", etc.). If it weren't for the fact that he's been sampled many times over, there would not be all this attention.
