This DL Incognito album is over 20 years old, but it still feels timeless—maybe even ahead of its time. This record, A Sample and a Drum Machine holds a soft spot for me. not only is it a great record, i was able to play an extremely small role in the production of one of the videos that were created for its release (Rugged and Raw). I remember looking for opportunities to learn more about video production and i ended up volunteering to help the production team so i could gain some experience of working on set. They were gracious enough to take me on and put me to work with a bunch of behind the scenes roles throughout the entire shoot and it was great to see how these videos all come together. It was an inspiring night to say the least. It was also memorable because we shot it at the Ottawa train station, after it had closed for the night, and I remember falling asleep on the bus home the next morning after an all night shoot. Go give this record, and the entire DL Incognito collection a spin.
