Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Devotional and Love Songs



I've only completely listened to two of his albums, and I'm completely stunned. He easily might become my favorite musician. One of my favorite songs from the album:

Hotel of the Laughing Tree - Terror and Everything After (2011)

Pretty awesome alternative rock/ indie rock album that has more bite to it than most. The band delves into psudo progressive rock on a few tracks and it really seems like they have something to say. Pretty solid debut all things considered, I see this band doing big things this decade. Also I gotta love the Dr. Seuss inspired album cover.

I've overestimated these guys. I really like what I'm hearing.

About PEPPER SPRAY
Hip Hop fans who also enjoy the sounds of alternative rock group The Red Hot Chili Peppers will rejoice when they hear Pepper Spray, an EP release from A-Plus of Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics and production team Compound 7. The 7-song EP is a reimagining of some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ most epic tracks as a backdrop for MCs A-Plus, Del and Knobody. The brainchild of Compound 7 member AAGEE (who suggested an EP release with production based entirely off the Chili Peppers), PEPPER SPRAY is a specialty project, according to A-Plus.

“The whole purpose is a Hip Hop tribute to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, inspired by their music and dedicated to their work. The cover is going to be a spin-off of one of their most popular covers – it’s a theme all throughout,”
he explains. “The songs are all topic-oriented, sonically as well as lyrically. It’s a conceptual EP, certainly. I don’t want people to look at this like it’s MY new album, it’s something I worked on but it’s obviously in a different lane,” emphasizes A-Plus. “I’m stepping outside of my paradigm to do something new, different and artistic.”

Standout cuts on Pepper Spray include Californication, which features Del. A-Plus explains the significance of Californication – “The way the song is set up, you have to hear it, its two verses then the beat changes, then the verses again, like a refrain. I instantly thought of Del after we finalized the beat. The subculture of California is snaky but its home, that’s what the Chili Peppers’ song is about so I just rapped about what California is for me in the same way - the positive and negative.”

Memories and experiences of tours & being on the road are a recurring theme of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ music as well as on Pepper Spray. “Road Trippin’ is a song about leaving to go on the road, and what it entails. Just being out from an artist’s perspective and how it’s a very hard but amazing job,” A-Plus reasons. “By the Way is another song about being on the road, but more of a specific story, of our tour bus getting pulled over, smelling like weed, me getting arrested, it’s a story – they’re both tour-story oriented.”

Pepper Spray, in drawing from one of the greatest alt-rock bands of this century and turning their sound into a Hip Hop format will undoubtedly draw new fans toward both genres of music and beyond. One thing is sure; Compound 7’s Pepper Spray is like nothing you’ve heard before.

This is staying in rotation for a while. What a great concept!

The Joy Formidable-The Big Roar
Awesome album! One of my favourite of this year and I previously thought of this band as pretty mediocre.....Sounds amazing through headphones, The Big Roar was a good name for the album

Yeah it's a pretty damn good album and one of my favourites of the year. Why did you see them as mediocre before? A Balloon Called Moaning was pretty damn solid and bursting with youthful energy, but I do think that with The Big Roar they've really outdone themselves, even the re-recorded songs sound better. One thing that does irk me a bit though is the sound on the album. It does sound pretty huge but they could have mastered it at more generous volume, it sounds a bit too compressed and loud.

I really didn't like A Balloon Called Moaning but it's been a while and I am thinking of revisiting it. It just kind of bored me but I can't really remember too much about it, but I always dismissed them after that. I actually really like the production, I think that might actually may be the main thing that's keeping me clinging to it. I do remember the song Austere from the other album and I did like the song but the version on the new one is so much better in my opinion.
