Gets me every time, wow! Forget what you know about techno.
From Carl Craig Versus Les Siecles Orchestra, recorded live at Cite de la Musique, Paris, October 18, 2008
There’s an album too, naturally after this masterpiece.
0115 Francesco Tristano & Carl Craig – The Melody @ 3:20
April 2nd, 20110114 Diddy Dirty Money – Coming Home @ :017
March 25th, 2011
“my kingdom awaits…”
You’ll appreciate how good this song is if you take a road trip to NY State without your Ipod and you’re stuck with only the car radio. You hear this part and for :30 seconds, maybe more if you include the Diddy part, you’ll forget about exactly how many times you hit seek on your rental Toyota Matrix stereo system. Her name is Skylar Grey, she’s on the new Dr. Dre track too.
Coming Home 0:00 – :29

“I love this part of this song, it’s so intense, I always want to head bang to it.
Plus it’s also one of the best breakdowns I’ve ever heard.”
Thanks Jack, I’ve now got a metal category. This is heavy, people!!

As previously tweeted, this guitar right here is amazing, and because it fits in with our instrument series, it’s #111 on the blog.
Enjoy! I’m going to check out the rest of the album. Jamie XX is a bit of pimp right now in the UK.
Buy the song and listen through to 3:23 for bonus points.

Part 2 in our new most of the time instrument series.
Gotta thanks Aziz Ansari for this one, and on Itunes Ping no doubt. I dig Ping, and I’m on there, so look for me.
This piano is sublime, and the track is hella smooth & fonky.
Yours Truly,

0109 Sister Sledge – Thinking of You @ :37
February 13th, 2011
Part 1 of a new sometimes series focusing specifically on one instrument in the mix.
Check out the bass from Bernard Edwards on this Sister Sledge track, it’s sick. He’s behind a ton of amazing 70’s funk and disco production from CHIC (his group) and Diana Ross, among many.

0108 Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – Hand Covers Bruise @ 1:43
February 6th, 2011
This was the part where he’s heading home after his date at the beginning of the movie, running through the campus courtyard for what seems like a long time. This music actually makes you feel that an idea is brewing, but it’s the bass that tells you how important it’s going to be.
