I recently purchased an instrumental album online from french producers Onra & Quetzal and it took me an hour to do it. (Because I don’t speak French and google couldn’t translate the page.) So you may be asking me if it was worth the time and effort? Well, it hasn’t left my computer since I put it in so the answer to that question would be a resounding “Fuck Yeah!” (pardon my French and the unintentional pun.) The title of the album is “Tribute” as in a “tribute” to soul music. It contains 35 tracks. (Don’t worry, the album only clocks in at an hour.) 17 were produced by Onra, 17 by Quetzal and one song co-produced by the both of them. Any one who loved J-Dilla’s (R. I. P.) “Donuts” or Madlib’s “Beat Konducta Vol. 1 - 2: Movie Scenes” or just loves soul music in general will defiantly love this one. More info at their MySpace.

Hi

I love the music, but would like to know whether all songs are that short as those you have uploaded? Because doesn't it give a weird dynamic listening the whole thing trough?

Regards

Morten

All the songs are about 2 min. long. There's a single thread that goes though the album. It has a catchy and melodic feeling throughout so in my opinion there's nothing weird about it. Everything seems to fit together and you don't get bored listening to the same thing for an hour.
