On a Doors binge. Great band.
D'Angelo - Black Messiah - still holding up well, but hasn't become an addictive listen, a bit of a chore in parts. I keep coming back though...
I love it too but that seven dwarves whistling one is a shocker, wtf. It's so tantalizingly close to being perfect that I find myself finding fault with all sorts of little things like most of the guitar playing and vocals.Still listening all the time, I love all of it now.
G'WAN D'ANGELO

The vocals are really weird though, i've seen a fair few people criticising it for just being so damn mumbly, and they're not wrong really, I just really like them that way.It's so tantalizingly close to being perfect that I find myself finding fault with all sorts of little things like most of the guitar playing and vocals.
Yeah I saw that, after 15 years he still wasn't happy about it and it took the Trayvon Martin case to force him to release it. He'll probably bury himself with this follow up piece for another decade.Apparently there's a new album not too far off.
I've never listened! Been meaning to listen to him for years just cos there's a huge crossover in prince fans and his fanbase. I believe he only learnt guitar in the past decade so as a listener coming from a rock background they'd be a bit more difficult. Voodoo is supposed to be an absolute masterpiece anyway.I haven't listened to his other album(s) - any good? I imagine it'll be more regular r'n'b stuff

I will listen to it today.
Shaney said:Arto Lindsay - just dipped in to his back catalogue here and there, seems good, I will investigate further
Actually I listened to Encyclopedia of Arto last night, it's very good. As you say it has a nice set of tunes and quite abrasive live stuff. The live stuff is still songs just accompanied by 'noisy' guitar. Its not noise music as such, I dunno how you'd describe the guitar playing really.there're two arto lindsays (same guy, different hats) - the no-wave.noise one and the brazilian/tropicalia song one - and the two don't often intersect. i like em both but i know a good few people who don't.
there's good footage of his ambitious lovers band on 'put blood in the music'
for the no-wave/noise one check out the band DNA and his trio CD aggregates 1-26.
this comp http://www.discogs.com/Arto-Lindsay-Encyclopedia-Of-Arto/release/5783512 has a decent selection of the bossa/tropicalia tracks with a solo live set tacked on (which i haven't heard) that apparently applies a bit of the no-wave aesthetic to the bossa songs.
