I may be getting ahead of myself here a little bit, but its almost October and fall is without a doubt in the air. A comment on a post from last week got me thinking not only about new music this fall, but also my favorite music that embodies the fall. More so than autumn necessarily, Emancipator really evokes the changing of seasons for me. More specifically, Emancipator's tracks really conjure up a sense of anticipation and progress. Even though it is titled First Snow, my absolute favorite track from Emancipator could sum up my feelings for the coming of winter as well as fall. First Snow has it all: delicate strings and a massive sense of majesty (think walking in an autumnal forest) all underscored by some pretty trip hoppy beats. I love this song any time I'm feeling transitory. Also, check out the similarly massive Mobb Deep and Sigur Ros remix by Emancipator. I wish he would do some new stuff. Enjoy the coming of fall and all the fun activities.

thanks for the festive music, anything with sigur ros is gold, some of that music can move me to tears
I agree with the other poster. 90's hip hop has been a passion of mine for a while now. I love the poetry.. I always daydream about what it would be like if some of the great producers of today were to meet up with the greats in their prime (with modern technology of course). The Mobb Deep vs. Sigur Ros song is so beautiful to me. Thanks so much.
