Villalobos* – Baby EP

The build up to and chord twist just before the 10 minute mark is a thing of sad beauty - you have to understand.

Don’t pay higher prices... repress is coming! Hands up hands up!

A comedic sonic jaunt by the ever tongue and cheek Ricardo. This EP houses two tracks of classic Villalobos groove, but arcs with a flare of self poking fun. Is it Ricardo singing on the A side track "Baby"? I postulate that it is, as it sounds like the same vocalist we have heard on many of his other tracks. The A side is not one of my faves, but it does resolve in a colorful fashion.
The B side "Hands up" is poignant as it makes me think if the "Hands up, don't shoot" movement in the US. I do know that this was released before the sad events that spawned the movement, but it is none the less a poignant analogy, especially given Ricardo has uses other samples of conversations that are sourced from US shooting incidents (i.e. two kids set off).

A worthy addition to any ones RV collection. HANDS UP!

i'm considering myself a big ricardo fan and own this record too but i dunno..."baby" doesn't get me even after one and a half year of listening - it's so odd and strange to mix it anywhere in with these claps and snares!
hansup makes the record reeally worth though.

"I don't know what happened to us...please touch me"

Ricardo, as always he is in his style!
