Requiem: The Holocaust

I always wanted to hear this one. If its good up it yo!

only have it in m4a. that cool?

Comedy Quaddafi · Post by **Comedy Quaddafi** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 5:50 am

how does one convert m4a?

Requiem: Holocaust was boring to me, if I remember it correctly.

I'd like to hear some of the rarer shit that still has drums and rich composition, but no too abstract. nahmean?

Freedom is a fun listen.

The Blake themes work perfectly on those albums, I feel.

There's a live version I got where he actually thanks Dre for sampling it. Pretty rad.

Here's the Pride joint

http://rapidshare.com/files/97637116/Pride.rar

and here's a description from where I got the link...

This album is not really a band at all, but rather a front for legendary producer David Axelrod. Apparently his manager got an urge to fabricate and promote a non-existent group, and Axelrod got stuck with throwing the music together with the help of his lyric-writing son.

Right off the bat, this is not prime Axelrod, but it does have a few things going for it and a few sonic curveballs. At this point in time, Axelrod decided to temporarily head in a direction influenced by Spanish music, and instead of screaming fuzz guitars, we hear plucked classical guitar runs (along with some great electric 12-string too). Unusually for 60's Axelrod, there is no orchestra adding exclamation points, and instead the crack session players sketch out the Axelrod signature orchestra hits. And yes, the bass and drums remain damn funky and have probably already been sampled 683 times.

Then there are the aforementioned curveballs. This is a much poppier album than is usual for Axelrod with the vocals front and center and the whole thing reeking of a late 60's folk-rock vibe. For better or for worse, the album only manages to do this on an average level. Of course the arrangements are interesting, but the melodies jsut don't make much of an imprint here. Maybe Pride didn't need Michael Axelrod to write lyrics. The vocals, done by a fellow record producer, are pretty anonymous and I could just as easily take this one as an instrumental.

Pride is really a curio for those who are already David Axelrod fans. I can recommend it in that it warps some signature sounds and production tricks of Axelrod's, and casts them in a very different light. Viewed simply as an album, though, there's nothing here that's going to rock your world.

I think the credits for the chronic actually list Axelrod as the producer and not Dre, i might be wrong though

Seriously Deep is probably the funkiest and most enjoyable Axelrod album.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 3:06 pm

Two songs he produced for a band Common People. Typical late 60's axelrod sound, I actually like these better than the Electric Prunes tracks. I wish he did a whole album with them.
