{"product_id":"zencd184","title":"Blockhead - Interludes After Midnight","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eInterludes After Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e, Blockhead proudly presents his fifth LP. In the two years since the critically lauded \u003cem\u003eThe Music Scene\u003c\/em\u003e, Blockhead, nee Tony Simon, has traveled the globe and emerged with another collection of eclectic songs that twist, turn, and grind their way into the listener’s psyche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the title \u003cem\u003eInterludes After Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e, might recall a film from the likes of Truffaut or a sprawling masterpiece by Modigliani, the title comes to us from a decidedly less classical source – an after hours New York City public access show that ran throughout the 80’s and early 90’s. This was a time before cell phones, TiVo, and the Internet – a simpler time that has informed the sonic landscape of the album. This is not rehashing 20 years of popular hip-hop; this is Blockhead’s ultimate homage to the times and places that defined his upbringing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a pre-digital road map through the musical consciousness of Blockhead, a virtual tour of a decidedly non-virtual society – when the airwaves were for TV, phones were for making calls, and when newspapers were printed. Hence, \u003cem\u003eInterludes After Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e is populated with dusty samples of beeping synths, smooth horn samples blended seamlessly with funky percussion and a sound that will keep you listening – this is classic Blockhead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":62812223340703,"sku":"ZENCD184","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/interludes-after-midnight-main.jpg?v=1793903203","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/zencd184","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
