album of the week


so this one night in college, during my less wise days....(i may have been under the influence), i remeber sitting in my most comfortable reclining chair, listening to Ravel's Bolero. Do not ask me why, but i was convinced i was listening to some sampled portion of a hip-hop record on my turntable. the almost maddening repetition of that piece of music seemed to convert my mind into a organic sampling machine. upon furthur review the music is fantastic, and quite hypnotic.

Maurice Ravel
Bolero 1928
