The ever talented and busy Los Angeles artist Take</a> released this album towards the end of 2007. I don’t think this guy ever sleeps. His more recent Plus Ultra EP</a> is unbelieveable, a must have. He collaborates with Ras G from time to time, you can hear similarities in their music. But really… what I’m waiting for is Thomas 2000</a>, Take’s alter ego. It will be out on vinyl at Rush Hour</a>, but we really need some mp3’s! I’ll probably buy the vinyl as well. Here’s a write up from his myspace page:</p> “After realeasing numerous sucessful EP’s on labels like Buttermilk, Poobah, Swedish Brandy,and Astro Lab, and working/remixing artists like Daedelus (Ninja Tune), Caural (Chocolate Industries, Mush), Rednose Distrikt (Rush Hour), TAKE</span> drops his Long Awaited full length. “Earthtones & Concrete“ is 18 tracks that further blur the line between instrumental Hip Hop and Outer Space. “ These songs are nothing short of epic journeys, continuously evolving compositional collages that lead the listener down a dust covered road of bit-crushed melodies and molested jazz samples. Think Brian Eno meets J Dilla..”</p>
