CBC Radio One's piece on Bender and Patience of Ottawa hip-hop group Flight Distance.

Flight Distance on CBC's All in a Day April 1, 2011 Radio One

Dormirer

This is another oldie, probably from about 2004. Reminds me of some of Ant's production on Overcast. I used drums from Super Mario Bros. and added kicks and snares. Original sample is from the Bladerunner score by Vangelis. 

Made on the E-Mu ESI 32 and Roland MC-303 hooked up to Cool Edit Pro. 

Lone Cure

...but I did sample that dollar bin favourite the War of The Worlds 1978 LP for that spacey sound. The main sample is from a Chinese pop record that sounds like it belongs on the Kill Bill score. I wish I could locate that record because it was a treasure trove of potential hits.

Made in 2004 or 2005 with the E-Mu ESI 32 and Roland MC-303 hooked up to Cool Edit Pro.

I Didnt Sample the Kill Bill Score

Maintain

Bizzaro intro, sadbastard sample, played out drums with janky kicks to set off the first verse. Hazy headnod shit if you can make it far enough to let it be. 

Work In Prague

Patchwork, emotional sweet-spot, Tuesday night banger. Shit is slappin'.

Tablecloth Slow

Long lost dubplate showcasing some post-Bad Info loose verses. Very dope patterns and psychic pain spillage. Pardon the less-than-stellar sound quality. Some curmudgeonly misanthropic cosmic slop. Fed up/wits end shit. Part of the great purge before we [Flight Distance] unleash Harmony Chlorine on the sad world.

The boozehound's anthem, a fan favourite from 2011's "Bad Information" - cop it at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bad-information/id463501356 

Flight Distance - "Frank Stallone"

Instrumental joint from the early '00s. The image should probably be Michaëlle Jean.
