Bike For Three Views
Here's another version of today's musicians' version of a message in a bottle. Like Postal Service before them, budding Belgian electronicist Joseuml;lle Phuong Minh Ltecirc; (Greetings From Tuskan) sent Canadian indie-rapper Richard Terfry (Buck 65) music (this time from across the Atlantic.) Rich wrote lyrics and then sent it back where Jo euml;lle flexed each track into shape. The result is complex rap lyrics (from "indignant wishes." to y"malignant kisses/") peppered over delicate, building, downtempo arrangements - appropriate for a girl who used to tinker around with music boxes. Curiously, the two have never met in person.....Regardless, here is the first peep of Bike For Three!'s l"All There Is To Say About Love.s"
Bike for Three! is a long distance collaboration between Canadian rapper Buck 65 and Belgian electronica producer Joëlle Phuong Minh Lê. Born Richard Terfry in Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia, Buck 65 is an underground alternative rap veteran who made his full-length debut in 1995 with the album Game Tight on the Halifax-based label Murderecords. He first made waves across the international underground rap scene with Vertex (1997), a critically acclaimed album that was followed by a full-length effort on the well-regarded experimental rap label Anticon, Man Overboard (1999), which was also lauded. ara" Read more
September 11, 2009CBC Radio 3 host/producer Vish Khanna has named Bike For Three!'s debut, More Heart Than Brains, his pick for album of the week. Also, Buck 65 just handed us this demo version of All There Is To Say About Love. Says Buck: I found this early demo of 'All There Is To Say About Love,' although in those days, I think we were calling it 'All There Is To Know About Love.' It's pretty different. In some ways, I think I like it even better than the final version. Download an unreleased BF3! gem, A Year After, here.-----
