To answer (perhaps) some of the questions, I searched and found: strictlybangers.blogspot.com "The idea behind the Visioneers ... started by Marc Mac (of 4hero...), it's a bunch of UK studio musicians paying homage to their favorite U.S. hip-hop producers such as Jay Dee and DJ Premier. In effect, these guys "resample" their samples, turning them into extended instrumentals."
First two tracks of the album are great...check em out.
It's just I know a version of 'Runnin' by J Dilla, but I can't tell if this is it from the sample. If this *is* a mix album then the track names are missing the all-important artist names! But very nice tracks regardless!
Just when I thought there were'nt any real sound worthy albums of hip hop left, here comes this! Applause most welcomed!
Great CD...Has a good Vibe of Jazz and Hip Hop...A must have for any person who still believes in true hip hop and not the commercial sh*t u here on the radio waves..
This is first class treatment. Great grooves and uptight arrangements. In a nutshell, seat back, relax and enjoy. Great works thru and thru.
Any one with a passing interest in 4Hero, classic hip hop (Gangstarr, ATCQ etc), Jay Dilla and jazzy breaks should download this now! Excellent album from 1/2 of 4Hero.
seriously
This album is great!! Can't get enough of the thick jazzy vibe and phat hip hop flava!
Heard 'ikes mood' on the futureboogie podcast (check www.futureboogie.com) and immediately bought! One of those albums you can dance and chill to in equal proportions...
