Here's the playlist. It's too big and I'm not totally happy with it. If I have the mental energy to, I will come back to this someday and edit it down to fit on one CD so I can hand it out to people who are interested. In the mean time......I'm going to bed.
The playlist is highlighting Medeski, Martin, and Wood. They are one of my favorite jazz bands.
Song title is listed first, then album title.
If you look up and listen to all these songs, I'll give you 10 points!
- Beeah - It’s A Jungle In Here - a great way to start an album and a playlist. It has lots of MMW elements including two frantic breakdowns.
- Where’s Sly? - It’s a Jungle In Here - The feel and sound of this song sound so solid I would have guessed that it was a classic jazz tune created years ago. Excellent crescendos and drop-offs.
- Sand - It’s a Jungle In Here - Another song that sounds like it should have already been created. One of their better mellow songs.
- Moti Mo - It’s a Jungle In Here - This song sneaks up on you and before you realize it, your eyes are closed, your head is bopping, and you’re very happy! One of their best songs.
- Shack - Friday Afternoon In The Universe - This song kinda crawls all over you then explodes at the half way mark. Billy Martin drumming is great.
- Chubb Sub - Friday Afternoon In The Universe - A song that starts strong, becomes sort of standard, then builds and builds to a great ending.
- Dracula - Shack Man - Another great mellow song. A very nice/haunting sound follows you through the whole song.
- Strance Of The Spirit Red Gator - Shack Man - My favorite on this album. Many different uses of percussion and keys and some fat bass to lead you through to the end.
- Sugar Craft - Combustication - Excellent use of a DJ on this song. Totally groovy and hip.
- Just Like I Pictured It - Combustication - Very groovy and nice. A good song to walk around with earphones on and a pleasant attitude showing.
- Nocturne - Combustication - So much atmosphere in this song it could terraform a planet….with lots of trees and woodland sounds.
- Whatever Happened to Gus - Combustication - Guest vocals on this one. Billy Martin does an amazing job of putting just the write symbols in just the right places. Very crisp and solid bass.
- Latin Shuffle - Combustication - You spend 6:05 of this song knowing that there’s something coming…and then Chris Wood gives it to you and you forget what the beginning of the songs sounded like.
- Everyday People - Combustication - It’s hard to ignore such a solid eyes-shut song like this one.
- No Ke Ano Ahiahi - Combustication - This song sounds like you’re saying goodbye/hello to an island paradise. Either way, you’re happy you’re alive.
- Sugar Craft (Yuka Honda Remix) - Combustication Remix EP - A fun remix of a great song, which I think is actually hard to accomplish.
- Your Lady - Tonic - A very classy song showcasing their classy side….with a nice breakdown at the end.
- Hey Joe - Tonic - The perfect way to say goodbye to a live show.
- Big Time - The Dropper - A full, heavy song from a full, heavy album.
- Partido Alto - The Dropper - A groovy song with catchy keys.
- Note Bleu - The Dropper - A very groovy song with some pleasing drums and bass.
- The Dropper - The Dropper - A fat, funky song full of fat…and funk.
- Norah 6 - The Dropper - The perfect end to a full, heavy album…a full, heavy (almost terrifying) song.
- Uninvisible - Uninvisible - A great funky start to my first MMW album.
- Your Name Is Snake Anthony - Uninvisible - Guest lyrics on this smooth song. Did he just talk about the Hudson river?
- Where Have You Been? - Uninvisible - Good use of a person moaning/humming.
- Nocturnal Transmission - Uninvisible - One of the best bass/drum funk lines ever. At 2:50 another songs takes over. Not as funky, but still good.
- First Time Long Time - Uninvisible - Oh my goodness, this song makes you want to squirm around in your seat…but in a funky way!
- Off The Table - Uninvisible - Good use of a ping pong game and eerie space keys to end an album.
- Anonymous Skulls - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) - I’m tired of writing about the songs. It’s late and I’ve been making playlists all day. The rest of the songs are good. If you want to know about a specific song, ask me.
- End Of The World Party - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) -
- Ice - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) -
- Midnight Poppies/Crooked Birds - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) -
- Queen Bee - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) -
- Let’s go Everywhere - Let’s go Everywhere -
- Pirates Don’t Take Baths - Let’s go Everywhere -
- Far East Sweets - Let’s go Everywhere -
- On An Airplane - Let’s go Everywhere -
- Let’s Go - Let’s go Everywhere -
- Old Paint - Let’s go Everywhere - Ok, I have to mention this song. It’s one of their best ever. It’s another song that sounds so perfect it must have been created years ago…but it wasn’t. Go MMW for channeling the universe so well.
