I already love Angles, I'll give it another listen once I get the 20 other things out of the way.

Yes, yes you are and should feel kind of ashamed.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to Angles yet? If you have, please post something, your thoughts, your criticisms, what you liked, what you thought he could do better, etc.

There were some definite winners on here for me. Back From Hell being the biggest.

The only complaints I have are for the tracks that sounded more like him giving a speech than actually rapping. While it was amusing, those parts didn't do much to enhance the music.

All in all, I'm quite thankful to have this. But did anyone else think he sounded exactly like Ali G?

Artist: Blue Sky Black Death With Hell Razah
Album: Razah's Ladder
Year: 2007

This was my first experience with Blue Sky Black Death and unless you're a big fan of instrumental hip hop albums, I think this may be the only album from these guys a large majority of the people will like. This is a collaboration album with Kingston Maguire and Ian Taggart who make up Blue Sky Black Death and rapper Hell Razah. The beats and Hell Razah's flow work evenly with each other, and there is a lot of symbolism throughout the album, the most obvious being the album title. I found myself spinning this album quite a lot this weekend and decided it would be the best one to share, that is until sidewinder sent me Crying Over Pros For No Reason by edIT.

Artist: edIT
Album: Crying Over Pros For No Reason
Year: 2004

I started to get into edIT back at the beginning of the year when I was sent his 2008 more dance orientated album Certified Air Raid Material. When sidewinder sent me Crying Over Pros For No Reason I assumed that it would be more of the what I heard before, but my god I was wrong. This album is far more laid back and doesn't feature any guest vocals like Certified Air Raid Material did. The only vocals you'll hear on the album is the occasional sampling done. The most amazing thing about this album is that even though it's an instrumental, it still keeps your attention the same way it would if there were vocals. You find yourself actually listening to the sounds and trying to anticipate what's going to happen next. That's the other thing that I love, you can never really prepare yourself for what's next, there's no real formula to the song, no real repeat. All thanks go to sidewinder for this one, he's the man that sent it to me upon my request on Sunday. Oh yeah, if you've never heard edIT before and start checking your computer after the first song, don't worry it's suppose to sound like that, it's called glitch-hop for a reason.

Lol classic.

I'm throwing this on the iPod for today.

sidewinder's the guy that gave me the edIT album originally so if you're liking it be sure to thank him.

sidewinder · 06-30-2009, 09:28 PM

But if you hate it, blame LoathsomePete.

Both are great listens.
(I'll be giving a further opinion when I've had more time to appreciate them.)
Thanks, boys.

Thanks man, the edIT album is blowing my mind all over the place.
