Jan 2, 2002 1:31 PM | | Hello Folks,
I was given a very interesting comp disc called the Rebirth of Cool vol. 2, in this disc there is a track called "Spock with a Beard" by a band called Palmskin Productions (produced by Simon Richard). All I can say is that it has probably the best sax I've listened for a looong time. Does anybody know if this band has any more albums than just this track?

Jan 2, 2002 3:25 PM | | I'm checking out AMG, looks like a very fun site....
The track though, appears to be a one off thing, Still I love the 120MPH sax on that compilation.
I'll have to check out remilixir though, it appears to be one heck of an album.
As for other good tunes, I recommend St. Germain "Tourist" (on my software wishlist).

| wow I have that disc too.. | Masonjar
Jan 2, 2002 2:16 PM | | I really love the Tricky and Aswad tracks too .. That was the first Tricky song I heard ('Aftermath') and led to checking out his first album 'Maxinquaye'... I just looked on www.allmusic.com for Palmskin Productions and they do have a few albums.. there's a little article about them there... you might want to check it out. Just plug in Palmskin Productions as the artist and search.. Hope this helps.

Jan 2, 2002 3:32 PM | | This might sound dumb, but have you heard Massive Attack? They are my favourite Trip Hop band by far. I also like Maxinquaye quite a lot. I'm also after the other albums in the "Rebirth of cool" series, I have heard them and they are all just as good as Vol. 2

Check them out in this order:
Protection
Blue Lines
No Protection (Massive Attack remixed by Mad Professor)
These albums are all excelent. Another ear opener is Portishead "Dummy"

Jan 2, 2002 3:57 PM | | Well, I have pretty much everything Massive Attack has released, I'd say that <i>Mezzanine</i> is definately my favorite. <i>Protection</i> is their 2nd album, came out originally in 1995, so it's quite a bit different, though I think you'd still enjoy it (it's not as dark).. then going way back to their first album <i>Blue Lines</i>, I would say definately try to hear it before you buy it. It's a classic of the genre, and was pretty much the first trip-hop album, but it's a light year away from <i>Mezzanine</i>. Not dark at all really, and very "clubby," for lack of a better term. Another album you might want to check out is <i>No Protection</i>, which is the <i>Protection</i> album remixed by the Mad Professor. It's one of my favorite instrumental releases of the last decade (I actually heard this before I heard the original album). I would say, definately get <i>Protection</i> and if the spirit moves you, check out the remix too..
