bet you don’t see this too often these days, but i have needed to do this for a long time.
\nyou see, back in 2008 i wrote a review for an album that had been released on one of my fave labels that didn’t pull any punches.
\ni was scathing and somewhat nasty.
\nhowever, i was wrong.
\nvery very wrong.
\nyou see i got a skinny promo of a major label hopeful.
\nthe skinny promo had no detail, no info nothing.
\nso i made some assumptions.
\ni thought the high profile samples that formed the basis for many of the tracks were cheap and nasty recreations. (this assumption was based upon the fact that a couple of the singles that had been released prior to the albums release were indeed a result of recreated samples – as per the detailed credits), and so wrote a scathing review of said album.
\nthen a few years later i picked up the full edition of the album for a pittance, read the sleevenotes, and realised the error of my ways.
\nthe samples were genuine, and probably really f*cking expensive.
\nnot only that, but, in the years since its release, and total lack of commercial success, it has become one of my all time fave sampledelica albums ever.
\ncheesy ? oh yes.
\ncliche stuffed ? without a doubt.
\nlistenable to the extreme ? totally.<\/p>\n
