This dude just has a way with chords, melodies and harmonies. I honestly don't remember him being associated with anything less than great, from his albums all the way down to these unreleased instrumentals. True genius.
It has powerful death vibe to it, but in a good sense I mean... Dilla too I think had the same approach about time flowing by, years passing, shit staying the same, loving ones beginning to disappear as life goes on. And on. And on... Great track. Keep your sh*t going everyone, life is good!
amazing to hear more than 20 year old D'Angelo material for the first time right now. Been allll over those Voodoo-outtakes! like the rest i'm super curious where this came from...!
@kingnapz i was wondering if you have any more instrumentals like this one I'm desperately searching for this type of throwback rnb feel for my debut album king 💯
yup this was definitely meant to be on Brown Sugar but sadly didn’t make it. if you’ve listened to the full album more than a thousand times like me, you’ll know all the riffs all the beats and each and every single instrument included in each song. Brown Sugar was good but this just sounds too good, to the point where it didn’t qualify to be on the album, that’s how good it is.
@@ChokeArtist411, Yup. It’s an Ensoniq EPS16+ sampler Rhodes piano sound with envelope filter set to the modulation wheel. Came straight from their demo disks. There is a fretless bass he liked to use on that same disk.
@@mmcratedigging Lotta studio work in the 90’s. The effect is called WahWheel. I have an Ensoniq and it is easily recognizable. Also, it’s not a Rhodes. It’s a piano patch called Piano241 with the Wah Wheel effect turned on full.
This right here man is so smooth I just looove love the vibe and the use of the samples man. I can hear Kool&the gang and a sample playing throughout, which Nicolay (as Foreign Exchange?) used. Thank you for sharing wow
@@kofiperry19 I think you're right, after listening to it a million times. Sounds like a cut from Brown Sugar that never made it. A lot of soul and emotion in this regardless.
