OPENING TRACK!!!!!!!! - Maaaan, JUMPS right into the FUNK!!!!!!!!!! Lead guitar, vinyl scratches, and horns!!!!!!!!!! 6:40 mark - VERY NICE TRANSITION. I luv the way you slowed down the pitch and tempo, letting the clarinet and bass viola carry the rest. 11:05 - AW MAN.....STUNNINGLY LOVELY. Vibraphone with Trip-Hop percussion SMACKS. 13:05 - Male vocal hook, "Talk about my future," with subtle turmoil melody. 17:30 - Vibin'. 18:50 - YEAH MAN....COOL and FUNKY!!!!!!!!!!!! Male vocal chant, the BASSLINE is BRINGIN' IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qx86gTyC1qi0b8uo1_500.jpg - 21:50 - Beautiful. Raspy drum SNARES, twinkling synth, and bass viola. 24:20 - And the pavement struggles. 26:55 - The urban jungle indeed. Distorted male and female vocals, "Yeah we got a groove for you," twisted subway (slow motion) keys. https://cdn.viewing.nyc/assets/media/1d654eb00ae26ad8f46080dc1f2781c9/elements/03a1c706a5566daba338a6b9355eb027/80f6fa26-f13e-412d-822b-53ed17497409.jpg - 30:10 - Light one up on the rooftop -_- . 33:00 - FLOWIN' MAN FLOWIN'!!!!!!!!

TWISTING, FUNKY bass viola....wait for the drum breakdown leading into the guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 41:55 - Classic Trip-Hop beat, all vets will know this one. 43:43 - Subway stops, exit to the next borough. 47:00 - Whoosh. Absolutely LOVELY buttons, pure audio therapy this track. 49:05 - Galaxy jazz-funk. Deffo diggin' this sound, definitive Sun Ra nebular ganja. 52:30 - NICE!!!!!!! STATIC BASSLINE. 55:30 - Marching industrial androids. 58:05 - Coda...Earthrise Shadow 3 (STANZA). You vets will recognize these tracks. 60:20 - Luv the reduced tempo.
- Aye....we go back into the lab alchemy sound on this one headz. All of us vets have a couple of those Trip-Hop compilations in our lockers from the mid-1990s. The sound is undeniable. Before we started frequenting (noncommercial) coffee houses and vinyl record stores, this sound was a life staple. Raw beats (drums) and cool/swanky melodies for the professional stoners. And your DJs/producers were into the same sh*t. (1 hr 7 mins)
