Terminology[edit]
Rhythm & Sound w/ The Artists once again repressed and set to be scooped up by the masses. Can't really say much about this one that hasn't been said before. It brings a new dimension to the term 'life-affirming' truly timeless sounds that haven't aged a day in all the years they have been drifting around our turntables and inside our heads long after the needle leaves the last groove.
The term rhythm and praise is not just an offshoot of the term rhythm and blues, but also has a spiritual meaning for the musicians specializing in this form of music. Blues, or singing the blues, is attributed to sadness, depression, hopelessness, loneliness, or worrisome.[1] According to some Christians, music should be inspirational and not invoke depression, as referenced in the following biblical scriptures:
- Psalms 47:6 - Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.[2]
- Acts 16:25 - But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.[3]
- Ephesians 5:18-19 - Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.[4]
- Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.[5]
- Ephesians 4:29 - Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.[6]
Rhythm And Sound With The Artists Raritan Valley
The last two biblical passages listed above are not talking about music specifically, but they do set the benchmark for which many Christian artists write their lyrics.[citation needed] However, this is not to say Christian musicians do not sing about their troubles and pains. What sets them apart from most other singers is that the Christian artists are inclined to lyrically mention God or Jesus Christ as the solution to their burdens, thereby creating a happy ending so to speak, or at least provide hope to the listeners who may be going through a similar hardship mentioned in said songs. However, in his book Sound of Light, Don Cusic writes:
- Contemporary Christianity tend to ignore some aspects of the [biblical book of] Psalms—the themes for revenge, fear, doubting, frustration, and outrage. Yet these are all part of the Psalms, although modern songwriters prefer to emphasize only the praise and worship aspects of the Psalms. Still, the Psalms show us songs of individual expression, of earthly concerns, of personal cries of pain and help.[7]┌──┘
In an interview with Sketch the Journalist on the Houston Chronicle, DJ D-Lite pointed out that the term rhythm & praise originated from the gospel singing duo Dawkins and Dawkins on their album Focus (released in 1998), with one of the songs being entitled The Rhythm and the Praise.[8][9] He goes on to say that, from there, artists made it become a subgenre, calling it R&P for short.
Despite musicians’ reason to use the term praise over blues, no historical texts about rhythm and blues would associate the genre’s name to sadness. The original term for this style of music was race music, because it was predominantly performed by African-Americans. People found that term to be offensive. In the late 1940s, Jerry Wexler, a writer for the Billboard music magazine who would later become a record producer, coined the term rhythm and blues as a way to describe the music.[10][11] It is probable that the rhythm part of the name rhythm and blues described the music’s up-tempo vibe of that time. The term blues of the genre is probably borrowed from jump blues music, since jump blues evolved into R&B.[12]
Contrarily, some singers who ascribe to the Christian faith (or record songs with lyrics influenced by such worldview) still refer to themselves as rhythm and blues artists. This may be because they haven’t heard the term rhythm and praise before, or they may market themselves as rhythm and blues because that is what the masses are inclined to label this form of music as. Most music services, music websites, and even entertainment companies do not recognize rhythm & praise as an official music subgenre, leaving people to categorize this music instead as Christian/R&B, Gospel/R&B, Contemporary Christian/Contemporary Rhythm and Blues, Urban Contemporary Gospel, or any variation of these.

After pursuing the minimal techno of their highly lauded Basic Channel output as far as it could go, the mysterious German duo of Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus moved even farther away from dance music, turning their previous dub-reggae influences into the primary building-block of their music. But rather than succeeding in their apparent quest for ultra-obscurity (the pair has never done interviews or offered press photos, nor have the records ever contained anything but the most basic information), the techno community followed them deeper into murky rhythms and grayed-out ambient hiss. This CD compiles most of the 12' releases as Rhythm & Sound. The opener, 'No Partial,' offers a clear reggae pulse that is the strongest sign of life amid these highly organic movements that more often than not sound like the distant wash of the ocean, or the sound of air vibrating your eardrum in utter silence. Sunken basslines mingle with lightly tapping percussion that moves the music along at the speed of evolution with only the occasional delay effect to remind you of the world out there once you leave the primordial sea. This makes Oswald and Ernestus' material as Basic Channel sound like Hi-NRG in comparison, while their work with vocalist Paul St. Hilaire for their Burial Mix label seems like calypso. Rhythm & Sound barely has either, yet it is still as compelling as anything else the duo have released in their extensive and influential careers.
