In which a Tribe Called Quest song is reverse engineered into the fusion jazz that originally comprises it’s DNA. I am tired and can’t place my finger on what cut this reminds me of exactly, but the Low End Theory is sounding a lot like The Low End Theory. Lotus on the beat, Thundercat on the vocals and Austin “Son of Stacy” Peralta on the keys. The track originally comes from the Japanese edition of the great Golden Age of Apocalypse.
These three have done more to make jazz fresh and cool than anything since the Mo’ Better Blues soundtrack.

This is beyond beautiful. I wanted to buy this immediately, but the attached link did not have the Japanese edition of the album. Does anybody know where I can find that version?

Unfortunately this ruins the simile, but it reminds me of Midnight Marauders’ God Lives Through.
Great cut though thanks Weiss!
