These are a couple of the albums that prompted me to start this blog, I've had several friends thank me profoundly for introducing me to them. They are both amazing, incredible works of art that appreciate upon each listening.
Aether is an upcoming hip hop producer from Texas, who in his words, makes beats that "soak into your soul" Its such a chill, relaxing listen, it's one of those albums that, no matter who you play it for, they would have to admit it's pretty damn good...It's composed of extremely well placed vocal samples, beautiful piano loops, crisp hip hop beats, warm synth tones, and just flows oh so damn well...You gotta listen to this shit man, seriously, it's that damn good....
Blue Sky Blue Death is the name of a talented production duo of two producers named Kingston and Young God. They have a knack for creating epic, intricate instrumental hip hop beats that have many depths. Also produced an album with Hell Razah, Wu Tang affiliate. Their 2008 album, "Late Night Cinema", is a hugely powerful work composed using live string, horn, choir arrangements plus a vast library of digital sound that these guys combine into one of the most diverse and varied hip hop albums I have ever listened to. I played this shit over and over when I got it, there is so much going on that it is almost impossible to completely soak up after only a single listen or two. My favorite track was a "Private Death", but the whole album is great. This is definitely an album that grows on you, yet tremendously powerful each listen, moments of beauty juxtaposed with dark, gritty beats. Get it.
