No wonder we all think it's somehow familiar, we probably have heard bits of it before: "I Didn't Understand" by Elliot Smith "Secretary" by Betty Wright "Timesteps" by Wendy Carlos and "William Tell Overture" (from the soundtrack to the film A Clockwork Orange) "Outside Woman Blues" by Cream "A Taste of Honey" by Paul Desmond "Ready or Not Here I Come" by The Delfonics that's pretty cool! |

| Xstar (Florence, Kentucky) | Posted: May 30, 2010 - 05:39 What I would do with 1981 again..... |
| Bodhisattva (Charlottesville, VA) | Posted: May 14, 2010 - 12:07 That's amazing that (per Bill) this was released in 1981, with the guy being born in 1976 and all.... Talk about a prodigy!! ;) |
| ick (S.E. La Jolla) | Posted: Apr 28, 2010 - 13:06 Definitely some Death in Vegas influence in there I think. Very similar sound but about 5 years later. |

If it were released in 1981, the guy behind RJD2 was only 5 years old...  |
| Oscar_the_Grouch (In my trash can) | Posted: Apr 20, 2010 - 15:44 To clear the confusion from below... (With apologies to Amazon...) BiographyRJD2 is an instrumental hip-hop artist and producer. His debut album, Deadringer, was released on Definitive Jux in 2002 to rave reviews, many of which claimed it was like a sequel to DJ Shadow's masterpiece Entroducing.... The following year he released The Horror, which featured one CD of rarities and b-sides, and a multimedia disc of videos and animations. His second proper album, Since We Last… Read more in Amazon's RJD2 Store |

| fevertree | Posted: Feb 24, 2010 - 08:10 So we have Emerson Lake and Palmer and RJD2 in the same set again? Coincidence...?  |

I drop-kicked cable a year ago. I don't miss it. I got a PVR, which works nicely with broadcasts, even HD. I can't do commercials but there are some things worth watching. Glad I can record stuff like Austin City Limits and some of the other cream that manages to rise to the top. Oh yeah, I have a lot of great hobbies too. I think I would like quilting. |
