Serge Gainsbourg - Les Annees Psychedeliques 1966 - 1971

For those unfamiliar with the very specific brand of sleaze that serge gainsbourg offers, refer to his best known hit to date, je taime - moi non plus.
Les Annees Psychedeliques is where Serge struts the proto funk/psych jazz border, creating large solid orchestrations of melody, steady backbeats, fiery brass, and sexpot vocals with various female chanteuses. Included with the compilation are bonus beat followups to songs like "requiem pour un con" and "la horse".

1966 -1971

Memories are my only witness (2002) - Yuka Honda

aaahh yes, Yuka Honda, 1/2 the flavor of the doctors favorite band from pre-med days, Cibo Matto. after the madness was all eaten up, Yuka Honda went on to record this instrumental electronic album full of the sort of stuff that clearly illustrates what role she played in C.M.
ethereal soundscapes, with or without syncopated rhythms, exploratory, tad bit beyond slightly cheesy, fun.

Jackson Conti

brasilian fusion madlib collabo feat mamao from azymuth, not to be missed!

Is it all over my face? male & female versions

Female

Male

The female version is a classic, but the doctor absolutely adores the male version.
Thusly proving again that doc tee's ladies aren't always exclusively ladies.

Disco at its finest, produced by the late great Arthur Russell.

Maria Bethania - Carcará

This Lady is for real.




Carcará sung by Maria Bethania, written by João do Vale.

the 1st single of her career, a protest song about the brazilian military dictatorship debuted in 1965.
loosely translated, the song chronicles a bird of prey (hawk) as it catches, kills and eats all in its way. raw!

check out the documentary about this amazing singer, sister of Caetano Veloso,
Maria Bethania: Music is perfume.

Dert - Talk Strange - a beat tape inspired by Bjork

Yet another Beat tape from last year, '08 had people knodding their heads all the way into the first days of spring 2009. with this crazy weather we're having and current astrological meltdown of sorts (more on that later) the doctor prescribes something to take on the go, Talk Strange by Dert.
Much Like Black Milk's color purple (prince) fiasco, talk strange is a fun innovative and exciting beat tape that samples bjork and creates new riffs on a classic artist. And i felt tired of Bjork, not the case after i heard this tape.

talk strange

Black Milk - Music from the colour purple

This is ridiculous. Black Milk sampled a bunch of Prince records and created a bang out beat tape. At the end of each beat the original Prince snippet is revealed, to relieve all who are mystified by what they hear.

Lullaby by Morgan Geist

Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel - "Reasons"

BSBD - Late Night Cinema

Blue Sky Black Death - Late Night Cinema


ambient, heavy, springy, foreboding, remorseful, innovative, contemplative, BSBD make musical landscapes that emcees go hard over. This duo has produced for hell razah, jean grae and a ton of angry ass underground pale skin rappers who hate the u.s. govt.
Late Night Cinema is their first instrumental LP that dropped sept. '08.
