We have a new favourite vegeatable and it is asparagus.

Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog. This will be my last post for now and I may continue it if I have time, ideas,etc. But enough about that and on to the music. This time it will be another big beat group, Lionrock. They formed in 1993 and released two albums, An Instinct For Detection, in 1996 and their second album in 1998 City Delirious. I don't really know much about Lionrock and only heard about them from the movie Go. The song that I choose is called Fire Up The Shoeshaw. It's a really good song and I'll tell you a little bit about it.

Lionrock's first album An Instinct For Detection

The song is a mash up of hip-hop and electro in my opinion and is really good. It features nice hip hop drums in the background and also contains a lot of vocal samples (which I find are really well placed in the song) as well as a nice bass and other blips and beeps,etc. It starts off with a vocal sample of some guy saying that the asparagus is the new favourite vegeatable and the song starts. While the beat plays you can hear some guy going what is rock and roll as well. The song also feels like two completly different songs because in the middle of the song it cuts into a much slower beat with a trumpet playing, which I find is a nice touch. It doesn't have too much of the same beat going on so the listener doesn't get bored. Another note is that the sampling is really well done. I'd recommend this song to anyone who likes hip-hop-esque songs and I'd also recommend seeing the movie Go as this song is in it. So that's all for now and I'll maybe see you next time!

If you want the song then here you go!
