Fingathing
Words will not adequately describe the enormity of today's post. While I am often guilty of hyberbole (my tombstone may read "Best Death Ever") the new Fingathing record is an instant 2004 top pick, and the opening track, "Walk In Space" is pulled from their forthcoming And the Big Red Nebula Band which will be released by Ninja Tune and Grand Central. Those unfamiliar with the instrumental hip-hop duo of DJ Peter Parker and bassist Sneaky will enjoy the levity the duo bring to a generally brooding genre, and the application of their talents on decks and upright bass respectively are not to be missed live. "Walk in Space" is simply massive -- keys introduce the mood, then give way to a thundering break and equally powerful bass. DJs will immediately be scrambling to find the most appropriate acapella, but this is instrumental hip-hop at its cinematic apex, reminiscent of the best offerings from Cam, Krush and Shadow.
