About Aesop's albums.
my favorite Aesop Rock records are Labor Days (2001), Float (2000) and the Impossible Kid (2016). If pressed reaaaaaaally hard i would choose Float as #1..
Then there's another couple of absolutely loved ones: None shall pass (2007) and Bazooka Tooth (2003)
I havent heard Music for Earhworms and
on the last level i have skelethlon (2012). Theres something that doesnt move me in most of Skelethlon's tracks. I think that maybe Aes wasnt ready to handle doin' all of the production for a full length. He definitely*was ready 4 years later......Still i think that his best tracks are produced by Blockhead.
I choose 1-2 tracks per album and none from skelethlon. Not that it lacks good tracks, i could easily use the closing track "gopher guts" p.e.
I just wanted to keep the tape <1 hour, to use many collaboration tracks that i love and to represent all of his record-collaborations who are going to get addressed in the next post.
