Ben Kane posted this old interview on Twitter betweeen D'Angelo and Beck. I thought it was pretty interesting especially since both are in the news currently. Check it out: http://www.thefader.com/2012/05/03/groove-theory-beck-and-dangelo

I'll be back with the link...

Yeah I remember that interview - I even vaguely remember talking about it here on okp way back then.

I was always a bit bummed that that never resulted in some sort of collaboration. My guess is they have very different approaches to writing and recording, but you could almost hear them vibing off one another in that discussion, feeling each other out. Could have been really interesting.

Curious now how you can see some of the anxieties D's apparently wrestled with manifesting even then - I don't think I caught that at the time.

Thanks for reposting

too bad beck is not a real artist.
