Wasn't expecting to hear G. Dep...
Is he uncredited? Kind of weird that he's on there, I don't think he's been signed to Bad Boy for a long time.

after a few listens i've kinda decided this is about half ordinary half amazing, or maybe the ratio's more 40-60 respectively. think the run of tracks from "indian summer" to "my heart" is pretty great, groove on "indian summer" is impeccable in particular, and they generate a momentum which "my heart" gorgeously undermines. don't think "angels" or "tourist trap" really work, mostly bc "angels" and "hello good morning" aren't the last train hooks i'd want folded into housier textures. regardless i have a lot of affection for this thing mostly for how it reminds me that the dirty money project is responsible for my favorite music of the last few years
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 1 September 2014 19:49 (nine years ago) link
wonder what the guy-diddy ratio is and what their process was
― lag∞n, Monday, 1 September 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link
guessing its mostly guy. some hooks (mostly "my heart") sound specifically written for this and others sound possibly sourced from dirty money tracks we haven't heard yet?

50% guy making tracks, 50% puff dancing around the studio, eating ice cream and wandering into the booth to read drafted tweets aloud

ok so officially the first time I completely lost my shit was about 2 minutes into "I Hear Her Calling Me"
― The Reverend, Thursday, 4 September 2014 08:11 (nine years ago) link
the second was at the pitchshifted "Hello Good Morning" vocals that audaciously just kind of sit there in spite of the track's motion, immovable by the beat
― The Reverend, Thursday, 4 September 2014 08:14 (nine years ago) link
the third was at the gorgeous vocals on "Let Go"
"Broken Windows" and "Floating Messiah" are especially beautiful
― The Reverend, Thursday, 4 September 2014 08:35 (nine years ago) link
let go is really heady, I need more loverman techno in my life

So I finally caught up with '11 11'. Really good. And seems to have been largely ignored, even (relatively speaking) around here. I hope it'll get some recognition in the EOY poll at least.

fwiw i saw an interview with guy gerber re 1111 and iirc puff's spec was "i want to do something that will be played in rooms that i'm not supposed to be in"
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 13:45 (nine years ago) link
these fantasies will keep passing each other by like ships in the night but seeing the news about canvassing the uk makes it fun to think about how 1111 might have worked had diddy happened to party with like jamie jones or dusky or christoph or whoever, maybe even a premonition of deep tech in some ways

whoa, "I Hear Her Calling Me" is really great. are those vocals from Dirty Money?
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 6 February 2015 13:36 (nine years ago) link
Don't think so or maybe unreleaesd
Opening totally sounds like Love Rollercoaster
Synth sweeps towards the end are definitely from Love Rollercoaster

just listening to Kool Moe Dee and it occurs to me that this song feels like the origins of Diddy's flow in a way
