PAUL WHITE - THE STRANGE DREAMS OF PAUL WHITE

(handmade, hand-stamped pillowcase for the CD)

(the actual album)
Paul White is a London-based producer who has released a handful of solo albums.
His first album came in a special package : a handmade, hand-stamped pillowcase with a carboard fold-out album inside. Pretty.
The album itself is a collection of beats, melodies and samples. Sort of plunderphonic puzzles.
I do like it.
Track number 6, 'Alien Nature' ends with a Beefheart sample (Beefheart going 'Fast 'n' Bulbous');
Track 11, 'Sugar Free Airlines' has a Zappa sample near the end (from 'Are You Hung Up?')
And there's lots of other familiar sounding snippets. Nicely done.

From his 2011 album, "Rapping With Paul White" :
