Topic: New Saul Williams Posted: October 25 2007 at 21:32 |
Well I'm not a rap fan in any sense of the word, but this release looks really interesting for several reasons. First off, with a title like that, it has to be interesting. Secondly, as far as rappers go, Saul Williams is one of the few that I actually might enjoy from samples I've heard. Third, production from Renzor, which sounds very interesting, especially for a rap album. Lastly, distribution. Remember In Rainbows? It's like that. There are 2 options, one for 5 dollars and a choice of quality and the other is free for 192kbps. Anyone else interested/excited? Here is a link for preorder: http://niggytardust.com/saulwilliams/menu

we discussed this, but it's produced by Trent Reznor, IMO one of the better producers of our generation (although he still can't manage to make Marylin Manson sound good  )

Interesting. I've been meaning to check out Saul Williams for a while now, this seems like a good time to do it.
I wish I could pay something for these albums (Radiohead & this) as the idea is brilliant, but not owning a credit card makes things more than a little complicated.

I haven't heard of Saul Williams before. I'll give him a listen later today. The fact that Reznor is the producer made me very curious.

Same here. I feel guilty, but know that I have no way of paying

Same here. The production is fantastic, the satire is biting, not 5 stars but easily the best rap album I've heard.

You should hear some of Saul's other stuff. He's quite incredible. He also isn't a bad actor. Check out "Slam".
