I Can See Rain (Jason Air Mix)

Velarsound... in the words of ASCAP, "an entirely unique hip hop project that mixe[d] four centuries of European music with modern beats to create an original and highly listenable experience with mainstream appeal."  Gig CDs are as rare as hen's teeth nowadays but thanks to the magic of the internet and a couple days digital digging, we can all relive 2004/2005 to our hearts content...

Oh go on then, here's the rest of the article:

"Forming the core of Velarsound is classically-trained choral scholar and beatsmith Willagee and an unconventional MC/producer, Mark Nunn, whose flow echoes Rakim, Booty Brown, Larkin and Beckett. [Incredible hubris—Ed]

Lifelong musician Willagee, who grew up around classical works and also discovered the melancholy beauty of artists such as The Cure and The Smiths, is the disciplined and structured music expert. Nunn, who grew up in East and West Africa, brought an entirely different influence to the table: a raw, untutored approach to beats and hip hop word flow. The two musicians discovered the perfect foil in each other. 

Velarsound's recorded material features female vocals from a wide range of collaborators. When performing live, they add instrumentation from drummer Ed Howard and the experienced bassist Oroh Angiama. With four-part harmonies, live manipulation of digital samples and a tight acoustic back line, the result is one of the most innovative hip hop outfits to come along in years. Currently mastering their highly-anticipated first recorded project, the British press are already praising their virtues with Hit Sheet calling the group "something credible and altogether marvelous.""
