Sound Experiment

If you want some straight up real musicianship, no filler, no gimmicks, straight-up artistry, then you need some Count Bass D in your life.

www.countbassd.com is a good place to get information on Count; comprising of a healthy board and a Journal that Count updates regularly, this web page can better bring you abreast of Count discography.

Real Music Vs. Bu11$#!+ is a track from Count Bass D's album Dwight Spitz, a record many consider Count's tipping point. Be it as it may, this track exemplifies the space in which I view Count Bass D's music, that is to say; this Producer/MC makes real music that is a world of difference from the Bull$#!+ we are all force-feed on the daily.

From Pre-Life Crisis to Act Your Waist Size, Count's music is a part of the soundtrack to my life.

A couple of years ago I noticed that my long-standing romance with cRap** music had began to dissipate. I began to lose interest in music that I perceived as weightless. You know it's a problem when you like a song/single for 2 weeks and by the third week you cant even remember the hook or the songs thesis.

As this got worse I found myself pulling from the archives, records by artists like Gang Starr, Nas, EPMD, Wu-tang became staples on the rotation. Along the way I caught wind of a couple underground/ cult/not-major label artists (terms I dislike) like MF Doom and Count Bass D. A connection was instantly made with Count Bass D's music and this quickly evolved into an expansion of my musical sphere.

This post is not about Count Bass D (expect a post on Count soon.)

One of the artists I discovered through my interest in Count Bass D's music is Jneiro Jarel. This MC/Beatsmith, is indeed a rare gem. N.A.S.A is one of my favorite tracks on the album; Three Piece Puzzle, released in 2005. This album is choke full of tracks that will sound very big coming out of your sound system or headphones. Jneiro's music has a cosmic feel to it, a spacey sound that lends itself to a sensation of timelessness. In today's crowded music scene this artist remains unique.

To avoid confusion I will venture to tell you that Jnerio also records under the alias; Dr. Who Dat?, with a new album; Beat Journey released this year.

** I jacked this very descriptive term from the good folks at dallaspenn

Amy Winehouse is a British Jazz/Soul Musician. This song is from her debut album Frank, released in 2003. I discovered this artist through the good people at The number one songs in heaven.
This particular record caught my eye and ears because it uses the same sample/beat, with some added cords and what have you as Nas's epic track; "Made you look"; both songs are produced by; Salaam Remi.

Amy is a fine writer, can you relate to the story in this song?
