Mysterious World

This is the first in my ongoing 'Cassingle' remix series, one-off stand-alone remixes of tracks I adore and - in remixing them - get an excuse to listen to them all the more.
Jason Molina passed in 2013, leaving behind a faultless and gorgeous legacy of heartbreaking and wonderful music. I first heard him on Magnolia Electric Co (of which the song 'Farewell Transmission' remains my favourite song of all time), the first stop on my ride. His album 'Pyramid Electric Co' followed not long after, the sound of a man in a room with one or two instruments, which struck me directly and immediately. The first chord is a lightning bolt through whatever listening device you choose and is a relentless but subtle demonsration of the sweetest of melancholies.
I chose the first track of that album to remix, again, as it afforded me the opportunity to listen to it in even more detail, and hopefully share his immaculate voice with any of y'all who may be yet to hear him, and with those of you who already enjoy him and his appearances.
Made with respect. Thank you for peeping.

My knowledge on Ninety-9 is limited, but the few songs I did hear definitely secured me as a fan. She was down with Sha-Key and I know that when the Beastie Boys toured with Sha-Key on Lollapalooza circa ’94 that they were so impressed with her they invited her to join them on the main stage few times. That in mind, it’s no surprise that Ninety-9 found herself signed to Grand Royal (The Beasties label). However, she got caught up and lost in what I like to call the “Great Capitol Records Hip Hop Debacle of ‘95”*, so she never got a chance to officially release anything during that deal. However, she did have a showing on the Grand Royal “Mixed Drink” sampler. Ninety-9's contribution is the interestingly Djini Brown produced, creatively vocally delivered and strangely titled, “Jhompa”. It has a stream of consciousness style to it, but also pacts intensity. Her voice projects with purpose and intention. She is teeming with style and her inflections transition seamlessly from sharp to smooth. Her phrasing is unique and engaging or as she suggests in a slow, strongly pronounced fashion, “It distorts the normal forms of speech”. To trace the verbal lineage of her personalized style, you need look no further than a bit later in the same verse, “Whenever I’m in the sunshine I put the rhyme down with accompaniment of knuckles to a table, to a beat/ to an echo…./Commence the flow without syncopation and let my thoughts drift back to when I heard Miles (Davis) at Carnegie, he put fear in the way I walk besides the bassline!”

 Her style is not held by constraints of rhyme or traditional cadence. She builds strictly off feeling and pure energy. Witness the second verse, “Welcome to my talk show/Today’s Topic: Don’t Sleep on the East!/Brothers never cease to amazzzze/It’s not a phase…but tradition/My admission to the rapture/To Capture…the rhyme/???? on the incline/It’s just mind over matter/turning idle chit-chatter until the good word/Preaching about the coming of the bassline/Brothers in Brown(sville?) make the sound surround/Don’t hesitate to hit them off with a pound of the verb/You can be served to suit your taste or need/The greenery seems to be enhancing the feel/No need for reel-to-reel to reel/prefer-er of the top side of the SP/I feel heavy when I wade in the water/Those lacking skills decay in the slaughter…” There are so many clever inferences and sneaky rhyme schemes sitting silently in the verse just waiting to be discovered. After her two mind-challenging verses she drops the chorus and then she’s gone and next heard from (by me at least) five years later...

Take Your Time

figures in the dark
visit me in dreams
corporeal pain washing away

i see every step ahead
clearing out for me
every move I take is reality

christened at the death
of my blind self consciousness
a cloud of molten husks sits at my feet

figures in the dark
visit me in dreams
corporeal pain washing away
