Oh, that's a good one. Very hip-hip-hoppy like _Meiso_, but there's a greater
jazz appeal to it. Of the 12 some odd tracks, my favorite ones are the short
introductions to each platter. "Lunation" features some fabtastic scratching.
"To the Infinity" is very throbbing pouchesque in it's approach. "Did This Vibe"
makes me daydream about Milt Jackson's first acid trip. A nice LP; especially if
you like jazz vibes.
and while i'm at it...

the futurepope's flu-cold-and-cough reviews
[i'm not dissing alan; it's just what ails me right now.]
tried cheering myself up with a midweek trip to the rekkid store. this is what i
found. i'm still sick, btw.
federation] [life so free remix ep] [mo wax]
reminds me of early incognito. the a side's "party rockin production mix"
introduces us to a familiar, loveable wagon christ sample. the portishead
remix is, well, it's a portishead remix. i think this one predates their
_dummy_ album, so it's interesting to see where they were going before
they became a pseudocommerical success. the two underdog remixes sound
familiar to their massive attack remix work. is it idm? is it complete?
why so many questions?
req's garden] [req's garden ep] [skint]
where are my adidas sneakers? "razzmatazz" features a keen electro hiphop
breakdance kind of sweet beat and an odd vocal sample. 'you' on the flip side
has a bumpin + jumpin east coast beat to it with some syncopated clatter. the
title track rocks the hardest with the whole hip hop scat thing going. when this
is playing and i close my eyes, all i can see is slick rick. man, this kinda
shit happens ev-er-y day.
clatterbox] [clatterbox] [clear]
wau! who brought brandy in here? "spatz" features a little pinch of soul to it
accompanied by some sex bass. nice. does anyone want to go tagging on some
subway cars in dc tonight? i promise to bring my boom box; i'll probably play
"sleazy does it." "drop it"? musique non stop. electro pop. this sounds like a
smart merger between electro, inc. and the kraftwerk corp. our little synth
organ friend grinds some serious cheese. "spatz remix" features some wild
clattachatta and a light synth melody. this tune starts wacky but gets pretty
fast.
bill and ben] [10 inches of funk] [harthouse]
a goofy, crunchy, dirty, dubby little number. not much to it, but it progresses
well and stops before it gets dull. i wish there was a little more variety to
this one; it had promise. can't tell you how many hokey 'bill and ted' or 'ben
and jerry' witticisms i expect to get whenever i start to play this one. this is
on harthouse?
soap] [dumb funk resistance] [harthouse]
wow. now i liked this one. a wonderful mixture of dub, jazz, d+b, house, acid,
trip, and whatever other label you want to smack on this dumb thing. standouts
include the title track and "bailout." "sensor" is a mellow, dubish thang. my
favorite is 'foam,' a tremendous drum+bass+house workout. this lp is so good, i
want to take it in the tub with me. sorry. that was lame.
immersion] [2nd immersion] [swim~] [swim vwm12]
you can't judge a record by it's cover. this 4 track ep sounds different than it
'looks.' "fat" has some nice percussion to it but there's very little to it
apart from that. again, on the b side, "metal sea" is a nice dip into jungle
waters, but there's something missing. "drive" is a little nicer; i expected it
to become acidic, but it never does. somewhat mellow at times.
[journey to the center of the $3 rack]
women of color] [soft touch]
what if the black dog and vanessa daou teamed up to compose music for an all
nude fashion show? 'soft touch' is an ambient-jazz type thing. the only thing i
can't stand is an annoying 'touch me' sample that invades the entire recording.
the b side remix is an improvement on the original with the addition of a
funkier bass line.
sluta veta] [fan club] [mego]
this 3 track ep is hit or miss. the first two tracks is an odd soup of beats and
bleeps; but it never really makes sense. the b side, "whisper's special," opens
with an unusual 2 minute long noodling of a dumb piano sample. i fell like i'm
watching olympic gymnastic highlights on television. the tr*p h*p drums come to
the rescue and the track gets incredibly groovier.
i also got my mitts on a 10" entitled 'death in vegas.' i can't make heads or
tails of this. who is the artist? what are the names of the tracks? i'm
confused. it's on [ack] deconstruction.
