Has anyone ever heard of these tracks from D'angelo's Voodoo Sessions?


Spanish Joint (Piano Version)
Fair But So Uncool
Funky Drummer
Ex Girl To Next Girl
Marvine
Pete Rock
Chicken Grease (Long Version)
Superman Lover
Soliloquy Of Chaos
Go Back 2 The Thang
If You Got Funk You Got Style
Left & Right (Original Mix)
Joe Texan
Speak Ya Clout
Everybody Loves The Sunshine
Africa (Piano Version)

Oohh,Spanish Joint piano version would be interesting to hear.

The whole set list looks interesting 2 me. I want 2 know if it is legit?

I tracked down a European release of Left and Right so I could get a version without Methodman and Redman yelling/rapping in the middle. They ruined the flow.

I have the single which does NOT contain them. Much better song.

IS this being commercially released or is it a bootleg? I GOT to get my hands on this! Voodoo is one of my faves!

I don't know....that is what I'm trying 2 find out.

I do have the acoustic versions of Spanish Joint and Africa, and I think I still have a copy of D doing Everybody Loves the Sunshine...But I haven't heard the rest....

I got a bead on this cd.....but I'm not buying until I know it's legit.
They want a grip 4 it though.

Okayplayer uploaded a couple of these, because I have 'em: Africa and Everybody Loves the Sunshine.

Africa, beautiful as it is, sounds like a demo. I prefer it to the Voodoo version, though. As I don't hop over there too often, it's possible the site uploaded all those tracks and that the "sessions" cd is just a burn of 'em.

Is it anygood? Is it soundboard?

Graycap23 said:

Soundboard like a live concert? I think it's studio outtakes.

Graycap23 said:

How much they asking? YOu got a link?

CinisterCee said:

It is - mostly - studio outtakes. I have an early version of Voodoo, which appeared about a month before the official album, and it's a slightly different mix to the commercially available release.

Graycap23 said:

lol just trying to imagine how D interpreted these Gang Starr songs

BSK3601 said:

Me too.

Damn,this sounds interesting.
For those that got these songs, how are they?
Very curious.

So many cover grooves on this!

Songs are similar to "Feel Like Making Love" on Voodoo... hard thwappy drums and sparse keys and mumbly D

Actually it just sounds like they finished listening to some Dilla beattapes, on most of it.

Graycap23 said:

I've heard most of these, many are outakes/jam grooves from the voodoo sessions...(i got many of em on okayplayer and a few years back)... also a few are from an interview D did where he starts playing a few tunes (Africa & Spanish Joint) accapella on piano from the then forthcoming Voodoo record. For me these two spontaneous playings of Africa & Spanish Joint are great examples of the natural raw/rare talent D has. I love these versions. I actually love both versions of both tracks (the interview versions AND the studio album versions.) They are my favorite two tunes on Voodoo in fact.

I could be wrong but i thought the 'EveryBody Loves The Sunshine' cover was officially released as a b-side track of one of the singles...maybe an import...i think i have it somewhere...again i could be wrong and maybe i got this from the web too.
