:beer: Will do!

I saw you made a thread about Charles Gayle in the jazz section. If you haven't checked out more from him (since no one really responded to that thread) I'd say check out Repent. It was my intro to him!

Thanks. Mad people sleepin' on Charles Gayle yo... :D

Yeah, damn Tiny Mix Tapes drops the ball on their voice to the "experimental" indie kids on the block! They always give good reviews to new jazz (Roberts last year, Gayle this year) then are very hush hush until their year-end list where it gets to sit way below less worthy works. And The Wire is a good 80 USD for a subscription. For shame!

Ah, finally someone else who thinks this album is worthy of being on the list.

Who is Charles Gayle?

Free jazz musician, started recording in about 1988. His newest album is called Streets, and it's very good.

At the moment, the albums that stick out to me for the first half are, alphabetically:

Aesop Rock - Skelethon
BadBadNotGood - 2
Buckethead - Electric Sea
Busdriver - Beaus$Eros
Chimp Spanner - All Roads Lead Here
The Dead Kenny Gs - Gorelick EP
Del tha Funkee Homosapien - Root Stimulation
El-P - Cancer For Cure
Gift of Gab - The Next Logical Progression
Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
Øresund Space Collective - West, Space, and Love
Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction
Pep Love - The Rigmarole
Rush - Clockwork Angels
T.R.A.M. - Lingua Franca
Tajai - Machine Language
Tetrafusion - Horizons EP
You Slut! - Medium Bastard

I think Rush, El-P, Aesop, TRAM, and You Slut are on top at the moment...

I'll have to add Killer Mike's album to mine as well. I just listened to it, and it's really damn good.

haha so true!

I think you're the only person I know who likes this album, the only thing more disappointing than this album was the disappointing new Gonajsufi album, that I honestly forgot existed.
