Any string musician’s eyes would perk up at the sight of seeing Yo Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer being on the title of this post. For Stuart Duncan and Chris Thile, the bluegrass fans got all giddy, I bet. These four fantastic musicians teamed up to make one heck of a collaboration album called “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” which featured all of the musicians in their prime element, crafting some of the best “fiddle-esque” music I’ve ever heard. One standout on the album, which you should get, is the first song “Attaboy” which sounds like multiple traditional fiddle style tunes smashed together with all of the supreme musical ability of the four musicians. Feels good, man.

INSANITY! Bet the regular viewers, if there are any, are scratching their heads. There has never been any fiddle style type of music on here before! BUT ALAS, I am a huge fan. There just aren’t many really good tunes that have surfaced these days, unfortunately. There are some great bands and tunes out there though. Y’all should look ’em up. This one is a mind explosion.

CHECK IT OUT!

Have a great day!

The other side of the Massive Attack x Burial collaboration features a chilling remix of one of Massive Attack’s singles from their album they released last year, Heligoland.

This track has the signature Burial feel on it where you feel like you’ve transported to a bus stop bench on a sort of popular street for soulless business men and unsuccessful, unhappy lobbyists. It’s most definitely raining in this scenario, like all other Burial songs, and you seem to be surrounded in an essence of internal strife as well as external. The internal conflict possibly deals with problems within the character, not though someone else. The internal strife is what drives each of his tracks to become the great, brooding pieces of work they are. Burial infuses the Massive Attack track with his signature style and makes it something totally different and beautiful.

Everything Burial has released thus far in his career has not disappointed me and he reigns supreme as one of my all time favorite electronic artists of all time. I EXTREMELY recommend looking up all of his stuff, along with Massive Attack’s stuff. Both are very talented groups and demand your immediate attention right now.

Here’s Massive Attack x Burial – “Paradise Circus”

ALSO, Check out the other collaboration track, “Four Walls”

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
