 | RA Review It seems even Moodymann—renowned for being one of the most accomplished sample sorcerers of all—is not impervious to the charms of Lana Del Ray. Kenny Dixon Junior uses vocal snippets from "Born to Die" all throughout the track of the same name here. They're dropped and cut in time with the sprinkli..

I think you are missing an 'n't' or you don't know what impervious means.
At least you used the right 'they're'.

Quality EP, just wish I had a copy.

| #9 / Tue, 14 Aug 12 14:23 Really good stuff. I don't particularly care for Lana Del Ray (less her fault than the 10000 shitty critical 'thinkpieces' on her), but I think she has an interesting voice that's been used to great effect here.

| #17 / Wed, 15 Aug 12 16:36 Ok, letting the music aside which for sure is one of the better releases for Moodymann as of late (and don't get me wrong: I own at least 30+ Moodymann records if not even 50+ from KDJ – AVL93151 on, doubles included, just for the nerds). Yes, I like this release but I won't buy it:
A 12" vinyl without any "special", just a white cover with a hole, not even 180gr vinyl (which i don't give a shit about either) does NOT justify the prize of Euro 16.95 - Euro 21.00 in certain shops in Germany.
For this prize you can, at times, get a 3x12" album with full colored cover, lyric sheet (if they exist), mp3 download, etc... if not 3x12" than at least a 2x12".
This is ridiculous and should not be supported at all... it is ripping off fans and music lovers at the same time and I am almost sure someone is laughing there in Detroit.

| #19 / Wed, 15 Aug 12 17:27 maybe you're picturing moodymann in a berghain sized castle, being chauffered around town by hugely afro'd women in a giant cadillac bought off record sales? but, no. we have neither socialized health care nor a detroit-techno-based club economy like you do over there in the eurozone. if you don't want to buy it because you think it's too expensive, don't buy it. but don't imagine moodymann is scamming you when he's just trying to pay some bills.

| #22 / Wed, 15 Aug 12 19:39 I think people that are still buying and playing vinyl should be honored by being able to get their vinyl for reasonable prices, instead of buying mp3s or download illegally ripped vinyls. I am more than happy to buy a Moodymann record or any other record that comes out of Detroit (or elsewhere) which I like. In fact, I am buying so much vinyl that it does harm at the end of a record shopping day if all the records I bought were double the price of a "normal" priced record (or even more). Therefore I am well informed what it costs to manufacture and ship a record and lately I have noticed a raise of vinyl prices in the shops, especially the ones coming out of Detroit (why?). I am more than happy to get informed by someone who knows the situation over there for manufacturing records, but you cannot tell me that the price policy for this specific record here is 100% correct..
I apologize if I went a bit far by saying "... someone is laughing in Detroit." but this is my feeling I get out of this price policy.
I know a lot of musicians, producers, etc. that are not living in a "Berghain style castle" or getting chauffeured around..
In fact none of them do and loads of them also have no health insurance or can afford having one. Even in Germany that is a (sad) fact. But some of them have vinyl labels and release 200-300 copy editions of records which are by far not as highly priced. They do it for their love for music even if they don't have anything to eat.
Long live vinyl records. Yay!

You are not the only one who feels that way. Posted by nd_baumecker A 12" vinyl without any "special", just a white cover with a hole, not even 180gr vinyl (which i don't give a shit about either) does NOT justify the prize of Euro 16.95 - Euro 21.00 in certain shops in Germany.
I can tell for a fact that Juno were selling it for £8.29 for several hours before raising the price to £15 or something like that. So that means that it's not Kenny who puts unreasonable price tags on his records. It's the record stores' (dodgy) managers, who are aware of Discogs prices for anything from-Detroit-and-vinyl-only.

| #26 / Thu, 16 Aug 12 07:22 i think the bottom line is moodymann sets his price, you either honor him by paying what he wants or let other people pay what he wants
like any other consumer good, the price isn't set by the arbitrary concept of "fair" but rather by what the creator feels like charging
nobody is forcing you to buy KDJ records!!

| #27 / Thu, 16 Aug 12 07:26 i mean, i'm not saying that's what i'd charge if i made an album, and i don't buy vinyl anyway, i buy mp3s pretty much for that reason (and no, i don't believe i'm killing dance music, it's just that detroit / chicago / europe dance vinyl is quite hard to get ahold of in southern california)
but the complaining seems disingenuous to me ... welcome to capitalism, bro!! that's how it works!

| #29 / Thu, 16 Aug 12 10:02 It's not like Moody is the one who has created this frenzied resale market for his vinyl, and I can't blame him for capitalizing on the minor resurgence in vinyl sales which is his dominant market and naturally is going to milk it for all its worth while it lasts, if you look on his website:
mahoganimusic.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=84&vmcchk=1&Itemid=84
You can get some sought after stuff for a tenner which normally resells on discogs for 30-40 dollars. Juno and everybody else knows that these records will sell due to the limited availability, can't blame them for marking up a hot product that people will buy on sight without listening to it because they know they can re sell it later for more..

I agree with your opinion 100%. But as a vinyl label owner I have to tell you that I don't have almost any influence on the final price of vinyl - i have the same amout of money from my distrbution, even though some shops sold a release for 8E some for 12E. Not to mention discogs stores, as some of them are selling or latest for 25E even though its available still on several shops for a normal price. Don't understand it either. I don't think Moody makes the price, neither any artist. Distributors and stores.

ironically you don';t actually want a 3x12" album (think about amp-a-pella or stfu vs a theo parrish wank or black mahogany ii )or a lyric sheet
and f* the artwork
you want a moodymann vinyl on blank vinyl, even thiugh you like it more than a 3x12", you want to buy it for cheaper? gtfo
