Ken Nordine: Colors (1966)

The precursor to rebuilding language once the epidemics take their toll. THIS distant post contains some addition noodling by the esoteric poet though some of our associates in his district have delivered notations on his "letchy behaviour." See if you can detect early warnings. Otherwise, a good starting point into the land of Nordine can be found HERE.

Fletcher Henderson- A Study In Frustration: The Fletcher Henderson Story (Columbia, 1994)

Recommended to us by Le Sony'r Ra, a transplant to this particular Earth-Variation who left on Goodman's 84th birthday as a joke. This Fletcher Henderson would not succeed in the same way as the others. Their strange pigmentation transgression would bring him little success in their America and would later require the colorless Benny Goodman to circumvent this and expose these dynamic compositional sophistications to the ignorant. Other Variations maybe take it for granted, but these three discs of Swing remain at a need for revitalization in this particular orbit.

Madlib - Speto da Rua: Dirty Brasilian Crates Vol. 1 (2008, Mochilla)

This is his latest and very difficult to find on blogs because Madlib and/or his crew are some of the most diligent at making them take down his stuff. Hip Hop Is Read had to remove the sample set for Madvilliany because he hadn't cleared all the samples. Doesn't this just reek of hypocrisy? Anyway, despite this, he's one of my favorites. From the Mochilla website:"In 2007 Madlib went with the Mochilla crew to Recife in the Northeast of Brazil. After spending three weeks there he came home and made six mixes. He named them Dirty Brasilian Crates Vol.1– 6. They are filled with jumps, cross referenced with Bossa, notated with Folkloric chants, pointed with Jazz. Lyrical, dirty and strikingly beautiful this is Volume 1." For an example of the Lord Quas blogapocalypse see here.
