Sound Experiment

And this time its for good. The drastic turn that my life has taken in the past few months would have sent most to the crazy house. Through it all though, I have found that music has been my last resort. I think all this change is for the better, although it is taking some time for the dust to settle.

My quasi vacation, hasn't helped much either, because it seems that mundane things have all of a sudden gotten to become Herculean tasks. I think one needs to go somewhere remote with no access to the distracting technology and all, but then, survival becomes a problem without music.

SA-RA; these guys are sick, mind boggling, boomdiggity, fantaastically good, I mean this is the kind of stuff that simply takes you there. At the start of their not-so-new record; "The Hollywood Recordings" one can almost imagine, an announcer, urging you to strap on those nifty silver plated safety belts, as you get ready to jet off into the cosmic world created by "Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Note the word partners in their name, meaning this is a partnership not a group. Big difference if you ask me.

The record doesn't have one earthly moment as it sustains its cosmic feel for the entire journey through SA-RAstrosphere.

Just a taste: Hey Love



This post is dedicated to my best-test freind Bushra Baby!!

True to form, "the future is now", are the first words uttered in this song. Many of you might already know SA-RA, many of you might not. For the newbies, SA-RA is a group that at some point were affiliated with Kanye West's Good Music imprint. I say that to point out a mainstream connection since this cats roots run deeper in the alternative- Electronic/Hip Hop world.

The SA-RA sound describes what you might imagine the elevator music on a space shuttle choke full with tourist bound for Mars in the year 2100, would sound like. With spacious soundscapes sprinkled with concise vocals spoken/sung with a peculiar kind vocal manipulation.

Second Time Around is available on Itunes, however the record I am featuring here today is a remix for DJ Mitsu called Negative Ion, of of a compilation called Informal Introduction one of my comrades gracefully gifted me with. If you can lay your hands on this, please do yourself the favor. By the way Dusty Groove has a 12" called New Awakening that features this track and other remixes of DJ Mitsu's work by other personal favorites like Rich Medina.
