Third Floor Classics
music_ third floor classics
For a while there attica blues were the hottest shit around (at least on the third floor of our house). Their remixes were the ones you flipped to first and they found ways to cut up drums that few could (or would) ever match.
The problem was their style never seemed to quite fit any of the lazy musical pigeon holes of the day; not quite soul music, not quite ‘trip-hop’, but somewhere in between a lot of things.
The albums never quite worked for me, but some of those remixes were (and are) next level.
On this one they took on Courtney Pine’s “Tryin’ Times” channeling the spirit of Elvin Jones through an MPC 2000 and seemingly pointed the way for future generations of jazzers to go and explore the spaceways.
It didn’t quite work out that way-it usually doesn’t.
But this still sounds as if it has something new about it-just like jazz is supposed to.
