Also love this.
I think I will be getting this.
Great review. Everyone seems to be moaning about Joy Fantastic. Maybe it's just that I haven't had much previous contact with him, but I think that it's a great track.
'HudMo is a r’n’b crossover story waiting to happen'
He sure is he was almost on Rihanna's new album with a track from this 'The Fuse' but he wanted it for his album and Rihanna's peeps didn't fancy sharing or something... He's maybe working with Eryka Badu though. he says so here http://www.dummymag.com/features/2009/10/08/hudson-mohawke-that-psychedelic-yellow-brick-road-style-/
I hope my copy comes soon I've just been playing this instead http://hudsonmohawke.com/butterstargalactica/

I was surprised when I first learnt that this album had not been created from the hands of someone in New York, but Glasgow. It certainly will be interesting to see where he goes from this appetising debut.
UK
has so many amazing beat makers at the moment alot of them from Glasgow's LuckyMe crew, which is pretty much a worldwide collective now. Hudson Mohawke, Rustie (album coming on Warp prob next year), Mike Slott (half of heralds of change with hudmo, and he moved to New York), Architeq. Then the rest of the UK crew: Joker, Zomby, Slugabed, Guido, Bullion, Ikonika, lots more... I've not heard of many peeps from New York for a while now to be honest, there is loads in LA though: Flying Lotus, Smaiyam (half of FlyamSam with FlyLo), TOKiMONSTA, Mono/Poly, Gaslamp Killer, lots more...
FaltyDL he's from NY
I knew there was one haha
p.s. this just dropped thru my door WOOOP!
This album is goofy as hell
but seriously inventive.
It says there that Daysoul is studying (some sort of) science at Oxford
That's kind of ace.
This album makes me do the painful-treble dance, in the best possible way
I've come to the conclusion that it's a work of (warped) genius. I just can't get on with Joy Fantastic though, the goofy voices irritate the hell out of me.
In it's structuring and sound I think of it as the yin to Flying Lotus' Los Angeles's yang.
...
and he was rumoured to be about to work with MJ
this album isn't perfect, but this kid is seriously talented
Hey DJAlbertFreeman
Have you ever heard of The Aphex Twin?
I have to agree with the voices. The dialogue at the end of track 2
leaves me groping for the fast forward button straight away. Not too keen on the blissed out funk tracks at the end, either really. Other than that pretty much perfect.
