RumPuncher Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 get this album! might as well check the website too amazon's review: The underground buzz created by the likes of the Streets and Dizzee Rascal in America points to another seismic shift in popular music headed this way from the U.K. Like drum 'n' bass and trip-hop, grime is a sound that originated in London's urban housing project bedrooms and caught fire on the its influential pirate radio stations. Not quite hip-hop, not quite techno, and definitely not dancehall, but an aggressive hybrid of all the above, its leading lights get an introduction on this lovingly curated compilation by the folks at Vice. The lyrics are so deep in slang they might as well be in Cantonese and the beats are so pixilated they could have been made on a calculator watch, but tracks like Wonder & Plan B's "Cap Back" and Roll Deep's "Let It Out" display such raw, vital energy they feel the first steps of domestic wonders N.W.A. and Public Enemy. --Aidin Vaziri and let's not get into another UK / US debate. This is just for people who are feeling grimey, innit? hahaha... sneak is laughing at me right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 dude.... I took a picture of the music set up in my new place JUST FOR YOU! (I'll post it later) there's no numark turntable, just a clasic Akai record player and I think the record currently 'on deck' is Handel's Messiah. You'd be shocked!

Guest Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 My parents used to take me to see a live performance of it every year around Christmas just for a bit of culture. I was digging in a used record store (yes, I've been known to do that) and I found a full set of 'Funk & Wagnals Classical Music Series'. 25 records of sellected works from all the masters. And it was 3 records for a dollar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
