admnistramation Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I really love all of Gonzales stuff from the bits and pieces I've heard from his albums. It's just that they're all available in Germany and the UK, I want to get them but I'm in the US and it makes my life more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Can you get his albums through Arts & Crafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admnistramation Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Solo Piano, lolololol. Well you can get Ivory Tower too, and then there's The Unspeakable (world's first chamber rap). And there's Soft Power, too! He has a few others too (Uber Alles, The Entertainist) that are straight-up rap/spoken word/mess of things, but it's actually pretty good. It's actually really funny, especially if you read about his life then it'll make more sense. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py8i3UOSZUU]YouTube - Gonzales - Higher Than You[/ame] Soft Power and Presidental Suite are poppy and rappy still. Really good stuff, one of my favorite music videos of all time. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7pESuX9E24]YouTube - Gonzales - Take Me To Broadway[/ame] Solo Piano is the only album he doesn't rap/sing in, it's all his piano work. He's IMO one of the best pianists out there today, he's performed with Drake at the Junos and he's on his new single. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnKQhX3V2vo&feature=related]YouTube - GONZALES / Manifesto[/ame] And then there's recent years where he's worked on Ivory Tower for his film of the same name and The Unspeakable, world's first chamber rap album. Ivory Tower is like Solo Piano, and there are two or three songs where he raps. It's very good.

MrMagpie Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've only really listened to Soft Power. What amazes me about him is how he can seamlessly transition from genre to genre. Very underrated, I don't think people take him as seriously as they should. He is always pushing the creative envelope. I'll check out those videos you posted.

admnistramation Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Agreed! He's one of my hugest influences, I really look up to that man... If you like Soft Power then you'll love Presidental Suite. I'd make a thread for him but I don't know if anyone else here has much of an interest in his work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 LA date, but nowhere near my birthday. :P I'll probably go to it since I regret missing her on her last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ll1am7 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I will wait patiently for the Canadian shows. I was fortunate the see Feist with Broken Social Scene and she played 'I Feel It All' as a treat, which was AWESOME - but a solo show would be awesome, I LOVE 'Sealion' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
