Whenever I see the name
Bill Laswell
attached to something,
I always try and check it out.
The man behind Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking
Rockit,
Praxis,
Buckethead,
and a whole lot of jazzy, hip-hop influenced music
(he is seriously prolific)
is always worth a listen.
With
Operazone
he has taken instrumental pieces from various operas
and "redesigned" them.
Adding a touch of rhythm and the occasional jazzy horn,
these lush arrangements end up being really interesting.
Sort of easy-listening that doesn't suck.
Give a listen to
The Elixer of Love
and
Tosca: Act Two.
