Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Every now and then you guys post the real hotness. Thanks for enlightening and blessing us with the flavor we never discovered before.
ps. Dear Gloam and other Madlib haters, this is what you call INCREDIBLE. Learn something kids. I bet none of the Madlib haters posted this.
Also if you are reading this Afta-1 (who is also a genius producer), this is how you compile the right tracks for an album release. Instead of compiling your favorites, think of the listeners who love that classic steady flow.
I'm not sure I'm feeling this album all *that* much, but I'm gonna give it much more listening. From skimming through, there's too much soundtracky type stuff in there. Dude isn't doing the score for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon; he needs to chill on that a bit.
I am, however, feeling this comment above. Tracks like "Believe" by Afta should be like the blueprint for an entire album of unrivaled soulful celestial beats. There is simply no denying the universal appeal and straight superiority of a project in that vein. But yeah, on alot of his other background music aboard the mothership/spacejazz-type stuff, its better suited for an outtake collection. Not to say its even bad; I'm sure dude loves the way it sounds while he's gettin high in the studio. I like some of it, and I'll be the first to admit - I personally like to listen to alot of strange stuff that annoys other people. Sometimes I find a good sample that moves me, and I sit there and play it all night long, tweaking the pitch until I've heard it sung back to me in every possible chipmunk voice, and my girlfriend throws the remote control straight at my eyeball from the living room. I'm not going to make an album out of that though....
Look at a track like "Believe" off Aftathoughts vol. 1, and compare that to LA Samba3. The latter just doesn't even make sense to me. Sounds like something my dad plays on his keyboard.

It will not really have success, I feel this way.
