1LP Vinyl – TRU1001-LP

Far be it from me to call one of the masters of hip-hop music’s attention to the fact that someone else may have beat him to an idea, but not that long ago fellow beatmaker and cratedigger Lord Finesse issued a series of releases billed as “The SP 1200 Project”, an homage to the drum machine/sampler composite SP 1200 from E-mu Systems (alternatively the ‘SP-1200’ from ‘E-MU Systems’, the exact nomenclature of both brands is undetermined) and the sound aesthetic for which it stands. That is, a concrete, firm sound that still has plenty of bounce (or swing, in technical terms) to it.
