Beat new beats album I've heard this year by far. This French beatsmith is back after his asian themed Chinoiseries and the not so original 1.0.8. This time around, Onra is taking hi sound to a think layered hybrid of neo funk and dilla esq hip hop.
Every track on Long Distance is much more than just a beat. There's lots of depth in the vintage 80's R&B vocal samples and thick in-and-out bass overload from flylo. Even if its easy to spot the influences, for recycled music, this sounds fresh as hell. There's even a few guest spots on vocals (Slum Village, Oliver DaySoul, Reggie B) They really add to the fullness of the album.
The best part of the album is the overall feel of the sound. It's warm, hazy new and old. Definitely ganna want to wait for the vinyl release. Get this album.
