3 Feet High and Rising: Assemblage

Welcome to the episode with the hardest album to find! De La Soul’s seminal 3 Feet High and Rising is, notoriously, not streaming given the legal mess of its remarkable amount of samples. Matt’s fully in his bag here talking the construction of music and interrogating what music entails. We discuss the theoretical underpinnings of Assemblage as a concept and process, then talk the legacy and impact of 3 Feet High and Rising, the joyous muchness of The Avalanches’ Since I Left You, and the radical franken-music of Amon Tobin’s Foley Room.
