The Brothers Grim - More Than Music.This is a lovely piece of positivist-grime. You can check the instrumental here (it's called "Motown Dreams") on the Independance site. Full of wondrous string flourishes, ecstatic female moans, and half-step R&B themed beats. I'm not normally on the commersh tip, but this is very large.

Its dilapidated state doesn't stop it from being part of London's physical memory; the human interaction it encounters reduced to fly-posting, the only catalyst for its slow evolution.

However, it seems the beautiful vulnerability of tracks such as 'Birds In The Sky', 'This Ain't A Game', 'Do It' etc seems to be completely missing - having been replaced by either ever more complex boasts of superiority, or narcotically infectious enthusiasm (Lee Manikkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11685980250660538381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591892.post-1079234443694056052004-03-14T03:20:00.000Z2004-09-03T02:42:32.613ZBefore I embark on a mission to bring you a bang up-to-date missive on the latest audio occurences in grime, I must bring this track to your attention:

So far it's pretty much even-stevens, but really, it's all for publicity; they're just interested in increasing their notoriety, bigging up their status and shifting units... Blog-shotted up, blog-bun, blog-slew.
Best Grimette (as skykicking would have it) tune of the moment is Terra Danjah feat. Sadie & Kano - So Sure.

Him no doubt. The oriental-sounding flipside is once again full of 8-bit computer game synth noises, an aural obsession grime seems to share with breakcore.
