In Reply to: RE: Need help! Down-tempo developments, sould, jazz, dub, fusion... posted by RC Daniel on June 10, 2009 at 02:39:47
I am in no way sure these are anything at all like anything you are looking for, but here they are anyway:

Hi Dave - thanks for the suggestions; thee are a few artists I am interested in that I would probably not have otherwise found.
Deadbeat - A nice trip-hop track with a dib(ish) underpinning. Really like this one and will check 'em out.
Taylor Dupree - a little too beaty / house-ish for me at the mo'; interesting nonetheless.
Yasushi Yoshida - Not what I was looking for, but a beautiful track. Definitively looking into more of his work. Me likes!
The weather storm clip sounded like it has a Massive Attack track running the background. A trip-hop classic, which leads me to...
It seems my explorations have come full circle, but I have picked up some info during the journey. What I am looking for is essentially trip-hop, with an emphasis on jazz and soul, with some complementary bluesy, soulful left-field hip-hop tossed in. This stuff is not easily found: the genere/s are diverse, with artists placing different emphasis on the various elements that make up these fusions. Much of these works are collaborations and/or extensions of artists’ earlier (more easily defined) work. I can’t simply look up an artist assume all their work is similar. Lots of research and listening to be done!
For starters, I will hopefully grab some DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Guru’s Jazzamataz series, and a few other oldies; I may also complete my Rebirth of Cool series (I need Volumes 1 – 3). But what I would really like to do is look for more recent releases, rather than what has gone a decade or more before… Bitter:Sweet and Burial are two (rather different!) artists that I will be checking out. I am also interested in jazz-house, electro-jazz, and jungle, with an emphasis on jazz. It will be interesting to see where this leads… finances and time permitting!
Cheers
Raymond

Craig Armstrong wrote and arranged for Massive Attack.
If you check his history it is extraordinarily eccentric.
Taking your notes into account I would recommend the Talvin Singh volume in the Back To Mine series on DMC (http://www.backtomine.com/).
Actually you might well like others in thes eries as well.
Quitee asy to find as well.
Here is atrack by Dub Tractor that isn't on that disc.. ;-)
I will definitiely be checking both Craig Armstrong and the Talvin Singh disk...Just took a quick look abd the Singh disk seems to be discontinued, though there are prob heaps in various stores. Actually, many of the Singh disks have been discontinued.
Roni Size is another artist that might be worth a look... the list is starting to grow! The challenge is in finding interesting examples of the genre that are mopre about long-term listening rather than for mere academic appreciation or short-term pleasure and disposability. We will see.
Edit: Penny drops - the Weather Storm track was originally a Craig Armstrong composition... I think I will very much like some of his work.

... are stocked in HMV under various artists in the dance section.
I am not sure about other stores.
I would swear I have seen the Talvin Singh there this year.... for what it's worth.
