I find foreign hip-hop interesting because it lets you 'hear through' the words to the pure rhythmic and "rhymic" aspects of the spoken word. This guy (20syl) has a real ear as a producer, plus smooth rhymes (pardon his French!).

I admit I haven't listened to his work with the heliocentrics. I'll throw it on this weekend and give it a shot.

Ah, it would have been such a great track if they had better backing vocals. Luckily the producer also makes a track under his "Bastian" pseudonym from time to time.

Back on those old, rare, vintage grooves.
I like my music like my keyboards, it seems…

Mu, when I hear those tracks I just can't help but think of their sampling potential. :D

Beethoven played by Kempff. Nothing in human history beats that, except perhaps Beethoven played by Beethoven.

Weird. That Cannonball Adderley Rhodes playing is so un-Zawinul. Yet they announce him at then end.

You might know the song when the tune starts after 12 seconds of intro.
