Digable Planets - Blowout Comb album flac

Blowout Comb is the second studio album by American hip hop group Digable Planets, released October 18, 1994, on Pendulum/EMI Records. The album was written and recorded in Brooklyn, New York, where the group moved, with recording sessions beginning in 1993 and finishing in 1994. On Blowout Comb, Digable Planets abandoned the radio friendly style of their debut album and worked with a more ambitious, stripped-down sound.

If Digable Planets were the product of a specific time, they also came together in a specific place. Blowout Comb, their second and final album, which was first released in 1994 and now returns in the form of this gorgeous and beautiful-sounding vinyl reissue from Light in the Attic, is practically a love letter to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene. It’s a part of the borough with a long history (Walt Whitman lived here), and not all of it was rosy (in the 1970s and 80s, crime in the area was endemic).

A worthy, underrated successor, Blowout Comb was just as catchy and memorable as their first, and also offered the perfect response to critics and hip-hop fans who complained they weren't "real" enough. The trio used their greater clout to invite instrumentalists instead of relying.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Digable Planets Format: Vinyl. We are finally set to reissue Blowout Comb, the 1994 second album by cult, Brooklyn-based hip hop trio Digable Planets. The album is named for the combs used to maintain an Afro hairstyle, and that's significant. The group's Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler said it summed up what they wanted to do with it: "It means the utilization of the natural, a natural style," he has said

Digable Planets, Blowout Comb (1994). How will history remember an album like this" The hip-hop listening community’s approach to music new and old seems increasingly pitched toward an outright rejection of anything that aspires to be intellectual, a tag that has been associated with the long-defunct trio Digable Planets from the beginning. There are a bunch of reasons for this-accusations of cultural appropriation, distaste for big words, genuine aesthetic aversion-but the whole business is starting to seem a little silly

Blowout Comb emerged from the heady months after Digable Planets’ 1993 debut, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space), spun off a hit single with Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat). Butler remembers soaking up all kinds of sounds in those days: Miles Davis, Mobb Deep, c, Chicago house. Suddenly, the limit looked a lot like the sky. After the first album, he says, we wanted to.
