Old Man Riva Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Was big into this when it came out - nice idea, properly mixing hip-hop with jazz. This features N'Dea Davenport from the Brand New Heavies and also a sample of Freddie Hubbard's Povo with a lovely weaving bassline by Ron Carter. Played the whole Jazzmatazz album today, start to finish, and really enjoyed it... Quote

BrunoBass Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I don’t listen to much classical music, mainly due to my own lack of knowledge. I like what I like, but it’s such a broad umbrella covering so many genres and sub-genres it’s difficult to know where to start. I feel the same about jazz to some extent too. So I’ve been exploring and last week I came across Vaughn Williams’ ‘The Lark Ascending’, which I think must be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Hearing it led me back to Górecki’s Symphony No.3, which I am familiar with and is similarly enthralling. 2 Quote
Wegga66 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Recently picked up a cd of band called love and money, hallelujah man probably there biggest hit from the late 80s ,Nick Cave is credited to the album and definitely a decent listen. 1 Quote

Id like to delve into the genre a bit more, can you recommend me some stuff? Are Carbon Based Lifeforms worth a listen? I noticed their albums seem quite expensive Quote

Just yesterday I was listening to the first two Human League albums, they’ve never been topped imho. Metamatic by John Foxx today. 1 Quote
