where was he born? On what coast? He grew up with his parents as jazz musicians. Prince's dad was a jazz musician in Twin Cities Minnesota - where I'm from.

So it starts out as Dub - but really well produced Dub but then we get Eric Dolphy free jazz flute - and Gamelan or "thumb piano" - I used to have one - with quite a bit of nonwestern tuning going on.
He's heavy on female vocals - which is smart - as the original music was females singing all night long while doing syncopated clapping.
Now we have Flamenco guitar - I used to listen and see Flamenco dancers and guitar at Ghost Ranch New Mexico. It was fantastic.
So as I responded - I played in a roots reggae band for a year - when I was 16 - and we "opened" at First Avenue - for a Ska band from LA.
I'm guess this guy is WEST cost and not East coast?
Otis Jackson, Jr. was born in Oxnard, California,[3] t
YES I guessed correctly!!
So we've got LOTS of FRISSON tingles dopamine induced bliss vagus nerve activation going on.
That makes for the best music but since it's a DUB "framed" sound - the tempo is slow - 60 beats per minute - for a deeper Serotonin Bliss (as the secret of music meditation).
So this dude figured out the deeper meaning of music.
I almost uploaded a vid today on the - what's it called -
The Bouba-Kiki Effect:
https://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-bouba-kiki-effect-first-evidence.html
So it's a proven fact that when we talk - we actually make SOUNDS first to describe something that we Visualize.
Western civilization assumes that vision is primary to sound and therefore we define Time as a Spatial measurement (cue the Calculus from irrational magnitude math).
Western science thinks it's very slick but the harmonic series can not be contained - it diverges - and time-frequency uncertainty DERIVES from noncommutative phase logic!
Noncommutative phase logic is the secret of Ancient Advanced Acoustic Alchemy as I call it.
I figured out this logic on my own - just from studying music theory - AFTER I had immersed myself in music classical piano training (and the general multicultural Minneapolis Sound) from a young age.
But then I realized that it was NONWESTERN meditation that was the secret of what I had realized from music theory - again on my own - as my own music teachers tried to shut me down. haha.
They at first encouraged me but then they were like - Hold On!!
And then I went full on "Tantra" psychic crazy zen. As Mother Earth Lunacy energy.
Originally this energy was used to heal females. Females give birth - that is their Magic. That is the original healing - the Eland Bull dance song and music - from before human language split into different Dialects!!
So the Bouba Kiki Effect is tied to Sacred Sacrum Sound.
OK NOW we have traditional West African music - trance dance music.
OK integrated with Jazz piano and drumming - very cool.
I think that was his name. He played the Conga I think and he would do free style Improv RAP about people in the audience - this was in Uptown - where also the Grunge sound developed - of the Replacements and Husker Du.
OK I finished the Sound Ancestors album.

So my point about the Bouba Kiki effect is that Sound is used as a three dimensional TIMBRE - or "texture" - BEFORE a word is said.
So it's HOW the word is said - the emotional intonation - that is the true CONCEPT or meaning of the word - more importantly than the visual phonetic meaning of the word itself. It's the SOUND of the word that more precisely describes the meaning.
David Abram's book "Spell of the Senses" - made the argument that languages that are not written down are languages tied to the precise ecological meaning of the land - based on the sound.
We know from Acoustic Ecology that animals have evolved space-time "Niches" for vocal communication.
As I pointed out - the high frequency bird songs in the morning help the plants grow by the plant cells or stomata being expanded - this we developed into a sound technology by a Minnesota University researcher - Dan Carlson - so you spray plants with nutrition "dew" and then play high frequency sounds.
But we also know from the Hypersonic Effect that is is the Natural Harmonics of nonwestern tuning that causes a nonlinear feedback of ultrasound and infrasound - thereby activating a strong Alpha brain wave Serotonin Bliss. So this is found well in Gamelan music using Gongs.
But as the research notes - this is mimicking the Acoustic Ecology of the forest sounds.
Humans are from the Rainforest originally - and listening was our primary perception. As science notes - listening is the "last" sense to go at death but as the OBE or NDE reports note - we maintain "formless awareness" after death even in the Emptiness - where we can not SEE but yet we maintain "awareness."
Of course this is the logical truth of anyone just considering where do they "go" during deep dreamless sleep? We try to ignore this - by saying well we wake UP.
But if we really study this then we realize there is a hidden harmonicity or Logic as the Logos to time and frequency. So we are being "guided" by the Universe.
As Westerners we want to be in Control and seek Perfection through external technology as precise engineering, etc. But this is not ACCURATE!! I call this the "rotten root."
So our left brain is based on subconscious denial - as the Alchemy of DeNile - the deep pre-established disharmony of Western civilization.
This means we define an AUDIence based on our AUDIO as defined by spatial measurement!
So we say that is for a "such and such" AUDIEnce (i.e. a "black" audience" - etc. ) but ALL human cultures use the Octave, Perfect Fifth and Perfect fourth and so truly music is a universal audience based on universal Audio.

The idea here is that Western civilization is a SUBSET of a larger more advanced acoustic alchemical truth - found in the Taoist Yoga training or the Kriya Yoga (the oldest yoga of India based on the three gunas - from DRavidian African culture).
And Madlib's answer goes straight for the metaphysical. "Spirits come into play when you do a certain type of music; sometimes I'm not even doing the music, sometimes that's just sound ancestors. That is what I mean by that."
Right so we realize that the Music is Playing Us and Listening to Us and not the other way around.
So I mentioned early on the "proprioception" ultrasound technology that claims to be holographic - patented by Sony - as Matrix technology.
But this needs to be considered in terms of Entropy and the ecological crisis on Earth.

the last track:
where have I heard this before?
I used to listen to a lot of traditional global music - I had CDs that I played while working - but I sold the CDs back, etc.
