I used 2 love those guys back in the day. Set Adrift On Memory Bliss and Die Without You are 2 early 90s classics. I heard that Jesus Wept was also excellent, but I never got 2 hear it.

I have all their stuff, I haven't listened to it them in years. Great production. They do an acoustic version of 1999 which goes into a Talking Heads song, very cool! Not sure which album, but it's listed as 1999 on the cd.

i used to like them, i wondered what ever happened to them! i like their cover of jimi hendrix song " you got me floatin'"

real funky!

I dig Die Without U ... matter o' fact, think I'll listen 2 it NOW ... PEACE

Yep! I bought "Jesus Wept," a few months ago and was surprised to hear some really wonderful music. I can listen to it, pretty much, straight through. (If only I'd taken the leap when they were hot! I would've liked to have supported them when it mattered more.)

The 1999/As Days Go By/other song track is hot! Like it a lot, especially to sing along ("I said, Boo booooo...")

side note: Wasn't the mixer/producer half of the duo involved with a young cousin for a moment? I seem to recall that playing a role in their going underground, a few years back... I'd hate to be wrong about this, but I remember the Mtv stories. And Mtv's never wrong! Right, Prince?

YES, I still listen to them!!!

Redirecting from General Discussion forum to Music: Non-Prince....

Yeah I do. I have first four albums.

What was the deal with the the fifth one that was only available through website but people didn't get it etc?

No disrespect to ya'lls musical tastes....but PM Dawn was one of the 3 worst rap groups (or artists) EVER. They rank right down there with Vanilla Ice and Hammer for worst ever. Ask any hip-hop head...they'd laugh!

I don't really see them as hip-hop though.

If you listen without grading the music against a genre can't you just enjoy for what it is?

codshort said:

Oh, silly mortal. We all recognize Tony M. as #3.

codshort said:

Always knew I had bad taste
Some of their songs I just love to death.

GandalfLundgren said:

If Tony M. actually had a hip-hop career, he'd definitely be high on the list. He's another wack one. However, trying to rap on a P track doesn't make you a hip-hop artist.

BTW....if PM Dawn isn't hip-hop, what genre is it?

codshort said:

Well if you enjoying something I don't know how much you worry about classifications. However in strict terms of genres although based in the DAISY age of hip-hop, they brought in jazz, Doo-wop, soul, ambient chillout, funk... hell, Be sings half the time.

PM Dawn cant be compared with LL Cool J for example, not so strictly defined in hip-hop and not an "MC".

Ummmm PM DAWN = GARBAGE....Prince Be dissed Public Enemy and BDP (KRS-ONE made him pay for it by tossin' his ass off of a stage).

I like their sound. Jesus Wept is one of my favorite cd's.

I like the way PM Dawn mixes some samples into their own original work. It's very subtle. Their music is very ethereal.

My favorites from them are: Set Adrift, I'd Die Without You, and You Got Me Floatin' (Hendrix cover).

I know they put out a greatest hits - does that mean that they're done?

whatever. pm dawn remains AWESOME.

alx

Oh yes, 'Die without you' and 'Memory bliss' are classics to my ears. I love those songs, I just wish they kept on singing...

P.S. To Codshort, I'm hip-hop and didn't laugh. Now I don't know if their music was original or not (after reading along this thread), but still their music was just GOOD. I actually look forward to hearing them again.
