SLOW TO SPEAK records

LOL-worthy bootleggers or rad "recontextualizers"???

the only release i care about is the don cherry one, which has the only vinyl pressing of two of the HOLY MOUNTAIN soundtrack songs, "tarot will teach you" and "isla"

dammit the kraftwerk one looks pimp too

here's a link to a partial discography...

okay, i'm really confused...

dope tracks, but those FE descriptions make me want to never listen to music again. post-grad essays from DJ Spooky University.

bbbbbbbut, wait, is the southern man one just southern man by neil young? just off of the album? this is why i'm confused.

yeah theres definitely some shucksterism going on but i really want those holy mountain tracks on wax

lol-worthy bootleggers imo

I don't get those records at all. you see them all over nyc. can't imagine who buys em

I think they're affiliated w/ d0pe j4ms record store somehow (or at least they share the same website)

yeah i scoffed the first thousand times i saw them at amoeba

but then... i really want those holy mountain tracks on wax

someone needs a VINYL INTERVENTION

i miss those old pre-mashup 12 inches you could get at rap stores that just added a couple beats behind a black crowes or ac/dc song. so bad, and yet, so good. if someone had put some phat beats behind southern man i might consider buying that.

there is a movie i have that has THE greatest freak-folk early 70's theme song and i could see putting out a single of that. see, if it's weird and nobody's heard it and not a nirvana song i could see the point of these records.

i wish ghostface killa would restrict himself (or at least commit himself) to "holla"-like reimaginings of classic trax

i got this amazing album in the mail - um, a cd, but i'll talk about it here - by this guy KRENG from Belgium. The whole album is sampled stuff, but you would never know it. it's so beautiful. he samples jazz and classical and electronic stuff. very moving.

looking at the discography there's actually a few more obscure ones than what I knew about, every time I see these it's like a really common Fleetwood Mac or Doors track with a $13 price tag. you could get the whole original album for a dollar

Life in its truest form is a kind of music; characterized by propulsive syncopated rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees of improvisation, and often deliberate distortions of pitch and timbre. Implied is a series of balancing acts. It must always be disciplined -- but never driven -- by formulas, agendas, or sheet music. It must always be pushing outward, forward, upward -- and therefore, inevitably, against complacency. Slow To Speak exists to run parallel with life's music. Slow To Speak aims to offer its own distinctive melodies, rhythms without pretense and the entrapment of modern life. It is a groove that ignites passion -- hot beads of sexual excitement, a groove that is gravitational -- creating the sweet funk of action and influence. Slow to Speak is raw, convicting and at times uncomfortable -- setting itself apart as a media outlet subsisting on truth and its convictions.

slow to speak is taken from a Bible verse found in the book of James, 1:19. It reads, "be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger." This is the approach we are taking to compiling and sequencing music. It is one that begets genuine appreciation for the work, its presentation and the audience.

^^^^^^^ not the first thing that would come to mind about a Smells Like Teen Spirit bootleg

i guess as a conceptual art project it's okay. maybe its someone's thesis. maybe the andre the giant dude puts them out.

its a very ILM-y inclusive sentiment

i have this bunch of monologues and stuff they put out. the rest does seem pretty lol-worthy.

there is a movie i have that has THE greatest freak-folk early 70's theme song and i could see putting out a single of that. see, if it's weird and nobody's heard it and not a nirvana song i could see the point of these records.

I finally figured out the vhs-to-laptop connection (really not as hard as I thought) for this reason. I'm now assembling a mix of everything in my vhs collection, which has been gathering dust for years. might post when i'm done.

What's the movie, Scott?

i'm not telling. you'll have to wait for my limited-edition lathe-cut 7-inch single with hand-silkscreened cover and 20-page essay/insert in an edition of 20. oops, sorry, it's already out of print.

I went into the future and got it. But everyone already knows the love theme from Blood Freak.

scott, stick the opening theme to "satan's children" (by LEADFEATHER) on the b-side.

this is amazing

noisy almost industrial house music

strange discogs numbers on that: 14 have/16 want, and it's $10.99 from the label (dope jams the store is the same as the label iirc)

on a separate tip, AWESOME I WANNA HEAR IT

like these guys, don't care about their rekkerds mostly.

have you heard that don cherry one?

nope :(

lol didn't realise this was i love vinyls

the record linked to above is an original composition. lots of sample-aliased static and disembodied voices over a deep galloping kick drum pattern. comes with a note from rashad @ dublates & mastering describing the mastering process for the track

at the end of the note it says "I hope you weren't expecting a normal dance track?"

are you the artist

zing?

just wanted to differentiate between the bootlegs being discussed above and the label's original releases

not trying to zing; you just sound like you may have a stake in all this!

thanx 4 the tip rio, that sounds amazing! they have a couple other original releases along these lines, though i've never seen them let alone heard them.

dj duke reissue is excellent
