It's good to see MikeHunt here in the Underground.

I was wondering when you would come over from the other site over there, and I know you can provide just as much insight and assistence here as I have seen from you there.

Welcome to our little haven in the Battle for the Freedom of Music!

MikeHunt · 12-02-02, 03:50 PM

Thanks guys for the WARM welcome!!...

...also I misspelled a name above...its>> Shemekia Copeland <<<...but please do check her out. She is 22 years old and sings like a blend of Janis Joplin/Aretha Franklin & Tina Turner combined..... I saw her assault the audience with her voice- and she was a foot off the microphone. If you like modern up tempo Blues - from a real singer... then check her out...

JackSpratts · 12-02-02, 06:46 PM

hey you made it mike, great

don't forget to check out the underground.

I love threads like this

MikeHunt · 13-02-02, 12:59 AM

Thanks..you guys are great...if you have to choose one song from the list (above)... to see where my politics are ...it has to be this one...>>>Nitin Sawhney ... Acquired Dreams <<< ...if you choose to d/l this tune... you will be swept into a vibe....truth....then go from there,,,tbc

Haole · 13-02-02, 11:09 AM

How about Jim White, Joe Henry, Amon Tobin, Kelly Joe Phelps?Searching for Jim White and Joe Henry sometimes yields bizarre results, but if you look for Wrong-Eyed Jesus for Jim and Fuse for Joe, you can't go wrong. Also, Squarepusher is amazing.

Nitin Sawhney - Acquired Dreams

I have acquired this dream, I love her after listening to this one track. In the process of acquiring more...

I notice a wide range across the spectrum of music in you recomendations... I d/l Shemekia Copeland last night and wonder if maybe I should have gone for Nitin instead...

It's all good so far...

MikeHunt · 13-02-02, 09:16 PM

Thanks for the imput Buzz....its all good...Nitin is actually a guy ( Indian by way of England). He has a variety of vocalists and performers backing him .... his album Prophesy kicks ass, for the most part.( Beyond Skin album is good also,,,but a little uneven for my tastes)....songs... Moonrise , Immigrant & Sunset are some other tunes to look for....

Shemekia is blues( for sure) and is a up and coming raw talent.

Im glad you are open minded about music..and I dare say either are better than anything that's being played on the radio these days. What a shame!

MikeHunt · 13-02-02, 10:14 PM

..another wonderful group ...Moloko ...recommended songs: Sing it Back ...The Time is Now

Which brings up a trivia question...Q: Where did Moloko get their name from??????? Hmmmmmm.... ( don' t cheat ..don't look)

give up...?

....ok ..A: It was the name of the 'Milk Bar' in the movie:Clockwork Orange ...ha...but you guys all knew that - right? ...how cool is that...

JackSpratts · 13-02-02, 10:46 PM

hey there mdneer, glad to see you!

Who is that vocalist on Acquired Dreams - I love the sound of the whole song but that voice - Makes the song

MikeHunt · 14-02-02, 04:55 PM

Buzz...I wish i knew..I actually wanted to buy the Cd: Prophesy ......but Wherehouse didn't have it and didn't show it in their computer for order.......I think it's an import at this point.

(.. they wont sell it to me, yet become pissed if I download it off the internet...hmmm)

Maybe I will Google for a minute , and find out.... Have you d/led any other tracks?? How do you describe the sound??..Try it on headphones after a puff..it tears you up....also try the Virginia Rodrigues I suggested too...it's in the same genre.

Haole · 14-02-02, 07:01 PM

The vocalist on Acquired Dreams is Natacha Atlas. She's a Moroccan singer who also shared the bill Page and Plant.

MikeHunt · 14-02-02, 09:45 PM

sorry my friend,..... but according to Outcaste Records(his label)the vocalist on Acquired Dreams is: Eska....although Natacha Atlas , Tina Grace, & Denise Anyogu , have also done vocals on various Nitin Sawhney albums. In fact lots of folks ( I didn't know about) have played on his albums..... Still anyway you cut it ...it's some fine sh*t....Indian trip hop trance meditation pop eclectic music ..whatever you call it.

Haole · 14-02-02, 10:23 PM

I don't mean to split hairs, MikeHunt (I just love typing that name), 'cause like you said, it is some great sh*t, but it definitely is Natacha on that tune. Eska Mtungwazi, while an excellent singer, is from Zimbabwe and has a totally different sound. AG has a ton of Natacha's music--check some of it out, not too shabby. Have you heard Oumou Sangare? Great diva from Mali, and a lot of the stuff that comes out of Mali is superb, although more traditional sounding. www.v2records.co.jp has track personnel listings for Prophesy.

MikeHunt · 14-02-02, 10:48 PM

Forgive me ..my error..... But I'm happy to be wrong. ....Natacha is a wonderful artist in her own right..... Eska HAS by the way recorded an album with Nitin Sawhney called (cleverly)... Nitin Sawhney featuring Eska - Sunset.... Lots of good music out there if you know where to look. Mali has some great musicians. I recently saw Taj Mahal backed by a group of Mali musicians playing traditional instruments...it was a cool blend.

Its nice to see Napsterites out there that are aware and passionate about the Music thats not getting the exposure it should.

Haole · 14-02-02, 10:53 PM

You saw Taj with Diabate? Holy sh*t. Ol' Georgie Buck is one of my favorite recorded moments in years.

Yeah, I'm very passionate about music, always have been, always will be. To be able to have such easy access to all this stuff now is DANGEROUS-- well, at least according to my wife.
