  • Binary Star Waterworld Album Download Waterworld
    binary star waterworld album download Waterworld. Binary Star is made of two members Senim Silla and an MC that only goes by the Anonymous for unknown reasons. Water World is great album from top to bottom. The beats and the lyrics will please any hip-hop fan, from the jazzy "The Evolution of Man" and "Glen Close" to the upbeat "Freaky Flows" and "Conquistadors." In songs like "Honest Expressions" and "Indy 500," they tell the listener that they are in hip-hop for all the right reasons and hate all the fake MCs in the industry. Another jewel in this album is "The KGB," where Binary Star is joined by a lot of other MCs, most notably Juice. They all rap over a great beat made up of simple drums and a great vocal loop that explains the title of the song. Water World is deafeningly a diamond in the rough. Binary star waterworld album download. Michigan's most well known exports in the hip-hop universe may be the sick rantings of Eminem, the buffonish facial paint of Insane Clown Posse and the dirty blonde hair of Kid Rock but there's a LOT more beneath the surface than meets the eye. This is after all the state that's home to Motown, the single greatest collective of R&B artists ever assembled in music. You don't think Michigan's independent hip-hop has it goin on? Then you haven't checked out Binary Star yet. One cat in particular in this loosely assembled crew (the name is meant to indicate they are not a group per se but bright rap stars whose orbits rotate around each other) could challenge Guru for his throne as king of monotone.

    STS9 Live Quotes 2016 “To say they brought the house down would be an understatement. They didn’t bring it down, they raised it to a higher plane. This was one of those shows. You know, the ones that remind you that music is the universal language. That it doesn’t matter who you are or where you're from, when the groove hits your soul your body has to move. Sound Tribe Sector 9 doesn’t chat on stage, they don’t physically interact with the crowd, they play music. They play some of the best music you will ever hear. They are masters of the inescapable build…The crowd is brought to a frenzy, over and over again throughout the night. The transition from groove to peak is incredible. The band’s skill is breathtaking. Every number goes through a myriad of musical genres, soulful funk to bring the smiles, dirty rock to make you stomp, everyone complimented by the innovation, complexity of sound and driving rhythms of electronic music…A light show so colorfully intricate and well coordinated that I could have sworn I was seeing sound, perfected the evening in a way that will serve as a constant reminder of why I write about music.” --Clara Goode, Bullet Music (8/31/16) “[Their] sets were pure bliss as the band fired on all cylinders.” --Nick Baffa, GratefulMusic.com (9/7/16) “Saxton Waller‘s light show [took] things to a whole other level, with an array of beautiful colors creating something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

  • Liberated Punks Accelerate China’S Musical Evolution
    About blogs Just another WordPress weblog Liberated Punks Accelerate China’s Musical Evolution From Pigface and Ministry to PiL and Killing Joke, drummer Martin Atkins has pounded the skins for some very loud punks. But he didn't realize that China's underground sound would throw him into a time machine and dial it back to the '70s and '80s, when bands were pushing the envelope on conventional rock and not really caring how you felt about it. Atkins shot 80 hours of video from his 2006 trip into Asia's 21st century powerhouse, and chopped it down into the recently released documentary Sixteen Days in China . Listening Post caught up with him to talk about China's greatest bands you've never heard and more. Wired.com: How did your experiences with Ministry and your other bands match up to the scene you witnessed in China? Martin Atkins: I think time and location has more relevance, like London in 1977, New York in 1980 or maybe Chicago 1989. These were cities that had exploding scenes that I managed to be a small part of. Add to that some entrepreneurial what-the-fuck-ness, and there you go! The backdrop is different, but the immersion, the focus on just the music and attitude feels like a definite ripple from those times. It doesn't feel strategized in a careerist way. The guys in D-22, who now have a label called Maybe Mars, and their venue reminded me of the vibe of CBGB's. While I was over there, I saw the club on CNN, and that rang a bell for me.
