imaginary trip sounds

Wildabeast, rapper de profissão, fez mais ou menos isto: pegou nas músicas dos Portishead, acrescentou-lhe uma batida aqui e ali, deixou ficar algumas passagens de voz de Beth Gibbons, principalmente o refrão, e meteu-lhe rap para cima. Deste cozinhado resultou o álbum Wildahead Portibeast, que é meio trip-hop, meio hip-hop. Já ouvi outras "brincadeiras" com a sonoridade dos Portishead, mas esta foi seguramente a que me seduziu mais, porque Wildabeast não se limitou só a samplar e a "rappar" por cima. Ele consegui deixar a essência dos Portishead, aproveitou muito bem a voz de Beth Gibbons e ainda por cima colocou o álbum para download à borla :) Daqui, deixo o seguinte:

"... so the unusual free and legal online experiment by hip-hop wonder Wildabeast titled Wildahead Portibeast is a bit of a revelation. Wildabeast takes the music of Portishead and turns it into a hip-hop smorgasbord of beats and rap lyrics. The tracks are re-mixed so the basic Portishead songs are transformed into trip-hop with soul. Perhaps the best example is “It’s True” which Wildabeast takes the popular “Sour Times”, keeps Gibbon’’s signature line “Nobody loves me, it’s true”, and wraps it in enough electronic and turntable effects to make it his own. In fact, Wildbeast’s rapping is a nice counter-point to Gibbons’ sexy vocals and often leads the listener into the emotional payoff I missed from the original tracks. Wildabeast’s own rap lyrics on tracks like “All for Nothing” and “Machine Gun” remains high quality. I think most Portishead fans will admire these remixes and hip-hop fans will appreciate the journey into new territories."
