Wu-Note. Recreating the Wu-Tang catalog in traditional Blue Note style. It would be smart to do more remastered versions and reissues like this.

Spirit of Apollo

Spirit of ApolloI just listened to N.A.S.A.’s Spirit of Apollo for the first time yesterday. It seems to be somewhat overhyped, especially with the smorgasbord of random guest spots.

I thought the beats on most tracks were totally dope. Not really your conventional sampling style, and included more actual instrumentation than most production… similar to what Nu-Mark, Cut Chemist, or Shadow tend to put together.

Some outlets out there are not in favor of it, though, which is the typical internet overreaction to something considered “overhyped.” Just enjoy the music peoples.

Paul's Boutique 20th Anniversary ยป

The Beastie Boys’ masterpiece, Paul’s Boutique, has been reissued as a remastered 20th Anniversary edition.

There’s a website for the reissue, which includes a full album commentary track by the three Beasties. Includes reminiscing about the real Johnny Ryall as well as a story about the “vocal booth closet” in Matt Dike’s house in which both Tone Loc and Young MC had dropped their breakout hits.
