The Roots - muito nesrednyaya grupo de rap a indústria. Notável fato de que os rapazes não são orientados para a promoção klipovuyu e continuam a acrescentar à indisponibilidade de dois a três hits, todos os que, ao abrigo do braço artístico como pobres não encontrar um álbum lançado. The Roots não gastam um tempo precioso em marketing criativas finty orelhas.
Embora aparentemente vivem na costa leste da ilha, você nadelala duro instrumental, tipo de amostras, sostroy pessoa postrashnee e rugnis jovem de vezes no microfone ou para a Costa Ocidental - e sua carreira irá subir. Mas The Roots estão a lutar pela preservação da arte no hip-hop, e seu quinto álbum, "Things Fall Apart", é a primeira obra da melancolia rap. Não que "as raízes" perdeu o leste e suculento duro ritmo - não há, é esquerda. Mas, como em todos os seus álbuns, os rapazes confiar mais na sua própria criatividade, do que estranhos semplirovanie melodias. E fazendo a glória. Ponameshali que só pode-r'n'b e Pride-funk em "Next Movimento", jazz e dub em "a faísca". Sim, e "Dynamite" jazz passado. Live instrumentos, bem-feito letras (isto é, no mínimo, selos, imaginário e educação). E, incrível habilidade para debater temas tão-social sem a mudança para a obsceno - na capa do álbum, mais uma vez ausente aviso“Parental Advisory- Explicit Content”.

13-track "Game Theory" - madura e forte trabalho homens adultos que têm algo a dizer e de jogar. Ao criar o oitavo álbum (sem contar com o concerto "Come Alive")? Uest, Black Pensamento, Kamal Hub e ainda menos interessados do que antes moderno rap. Eles jogaram para o seu jogo, quando hip-hop música sem se tornar este género quadro. Em um jogo onde a dedicação falecido amigo - e não especulações, mas o dever de honra. E uma tal amigo que morreu, como pessoas normais, e não estúpido morreu de balas.
Como sempre acontece com o álbum The Roots, existem 2 músicas, formalmente à aplicação, para o papel de hits, apesar de tais grupos na história têm a vapor-troika. "Não se sentir" - um típico "raiz" alegre e um pouco nervoso composição. Mas, "Here I Come" irá pointeresnee. Com a participação de Malik B, após o grupo retornou para combater a toxicodependência, e colegas Dice Raw, esta faixa lembra os momentos mais violentos "Frenologia" - e uma importante viragem álbum "rutsov". No concerto, e The Roots revista Rolling Stones nomeado entre os 20 times do mundo, os melhores oradores ao vivo, "Here I Come", como é óbvio, vai adornar o novo programa.
O resto do álbum - terá de provar a todos os fãs da banda e é pouco provável que esteja interessado em novos ouvintes. Muito tocar, enquanto a-homem forte "Baby", e colocar essas pessoas escrevem. Na mesma categoria pode ser gravado e "Relógio Com n Hands", são Pensamento Negro donelzya orgânica na forma como os adultos, inteligentes e mental ms. "In The Music" - um escuro e davyaschee criação, que é certamente o orgulho teclado Kamal ", mas sim de reconhecer que odeia" feliz-auscultação canções ". "Long Time", que prochat para o terceiro único / vídeo álbum, um modelo de consciência, pela positiva letras qualitativos, mas unremarkable produção. Bom, bonito, Verão, mas, infelizmente, não saltar acima do nível médio do The Roots truskul. "Isso não pode parar" - com oito minutos de dedicação lishkom-falecido J Dilla. Nem Deus sabe o que no caso da música, mas em um ser humano - nastoschaya ode talentoso homem, durante toda a sua vida para provar que o hip-hop - este é um pouco diferente do que estamos a tentar persuadir o brilhante TV.
"Game Theory" nada é acrescentado à história ea imagem do The Roots, talvez, um jovem de escuro e sombrio acidentes vasculares cerebrais. Movendo (movendo-lo!) Na sequência das últimas duas de suas obras, "Raízes" ou a grama não mudar eles próprios, os seus gostos, os seus fãs.

Performer: Quincy Jones Album: Body Heat Genre: Jazz, Soul, Smooth Soul, Funk Format: CD Recording Date: 1974
Review by Richard S. Ginell
At the time, Body Heat was a breathtaking leap for Quincy Jones, right into the very heart of mainstream commercial soul -- and it turned out to be very lucrative, rising to number six on the pop album charts. Jazz per se has been left far behind but the same musical sensibility, the same brilliant production skills, and the same knack for what will appeal to a wider audience are still at work, and the result is a surprisingly pleasing album. Amazingly, Jones still draws a constellation of jazz stars into his studio bands (Herbie Hancock, Frank Rosolino, Hubert Laws, Jerome Richardson, Grady Tate, Bob James), plus soul names like Billy Preston, Bernard Purdie and the soon-to-be-ubiquitous guitarist Wah Wah Watson. The emphasis, though, is first on the honeyed soul vocals from a variety of newcomers, and second on the funky grooves laced with the buzz of now-prized analogue synthesizers and wah-wah guitars. There is one reminder of Jones' big-band days, a busy electronic retro-fitting of his classic chart of Benny Golson's "Along Came Betty," where one can hear Laws blow at some length. Otherwise, to paraphrase Jones himself, if you check your jazz boots at the door, you might enjoy this.

This is the peak of George Benson's courtship of the mass market -- a superbly crafted and performed pop album with a large supporting cast -- and wouldn't you know that Quincy Jones, the master catalyst, is the producer. Q's regular team, including the prolific songwriter Rod Temperton and the brilliant engineer Bruce Swedien, is in control, and Benson's voice, caught beautifully in the rich, floating sound, had never before been put to such versatile use. On "Moody's Mood," Benson really exercises his vocalese chops and proves that he is technically as fluid as just about any jazz vocalist, and he become a credible rival to Al Jarreau on the joyous title track. Benson's guitar now plays a subsidiary role -- only two of the ten tracks are instrumentals -- but Q has him play terrific fills behind the vocals and in the gaps, and the engineering gives his tone a variety of striking, new, full-sounding timbres. The instrumentals themselves are marvelous: "Off Broadway" is driving and danceable, and Ivan Lins' "Dinorah, Dinorah" grows increasingly seductive with each play. Benson should have worked with Jones from this point on, but this would be their only album together.
