>The only one who was not too happy with the result was
>D'Angelo. He was praying I got suspended for six
>months or a year. He was like, "You know what that means
>right? That means you're going to go on tour with me, man!
>We're gonna be together again!" I was like, "Welcome to the
>real world: People don't get suspended for a year, they get
>fired."
>
> "The album is pretty much 97% done. At best, it
>will go down in the Smile/There's a Riot Goin' On/Miles Davis'
>On the Corner category."

>Pitchfork: Is that D'Angelo tour a real thing?
>
>?: It's an extremely real thing. Pino Palladino just
>committed. My worst nightmare Chris Dave is his drummer-- you
>need the most dangerous drummer alive on that tour. I fear the
>magic those two are going to make.

>Pitchfork: So that's happening next year?
>
>?: He goes to Europe in January. The album is pretty much 97%
>done. He's just finishing his lyrics now. He needs somebody to
>smack him and take the record away from him because it's
>pretty much finished. But I know he must turn this record in
>like three days before Christmas and that his first show is in
>Europe, and that he's going to do a whole bunch. They even
>named it the Occupy Music Tour, so I know they're serious
>about it.

>For all intents and purposes, this album is the black version
>of Smile-- at best, it will go down in the
>Smile/There's a Riot Goin' On/Miles Davis' On the Corner
>category. That's what I'm hoping for. There's stuff on there I
>was amazed at, like new music patches I've
>never heard before. I'd ask him, "What kind of keyboard is
>that?" I thought it was some old vintage thing. But he builds
>his own patches.
>
>One song we worked on called "Charade" has this trombone patch
>that he re-EQ'd and then put through an envelope filter and
>then added a vibraphone noise on top and made a whole new
>patch out of it. He's the only person I know that takes a
>Herbie Hancock approach, or Malcolm Cecil and Robert
>Margouleff-- the two musician/engineers who programmed all of
>Stevie Wonder's genius-period stuff-- approach. That's the
>last time I ever heard of somebody building patches. We'll see
>if history is kind to it.
