No Privacy is a mixtape collection recorded by Carter Maness over the course of 11 cold NYC nights in the 2007-08 winter. If you've been paying attention to the Proyekto blog you've heard most of these before, but now they flow together like the auditory yeast infections they were meant to be. (That reference makes NO sense.)
Anyway, the sample and beat-heavy leanings on this record tend to mix with vocals smeared into reverb stratospheres. Most of the lyrics are unintelligible and bring to mind urban winter hymns sung by a 20-something in his bedroom. Building on the narcotic DJ aesthetic of his first two singles, No Privacy features original instrumentation and vocals spliced with mangled samples from ESG, Thomas Fehlmann, Growing, Hercules & Love Affair, Atlas Sound, Group Home, The Old Bangers and a whole slew of others. Can you spot them?
