I HIGHLY disagree. Think Fever is the best thing to hit DHR in a while. DHR became quite stale, and it is about time they put out something that avoided the stale cliche beats that they've been releasing. Lo-fi indeed, but not necessarily "amateurish". Reminds me of the latest ICE release. Dirty production, hip hop beats, odd timed rhymes ala Sensational. Plus samples of Muttly (I think that is the name, the dog from the old funny cartoon racing show!).

Damn those Germans for trying to rap. It is so American. While we're at it, lets condem Jupiter JAM, Roots Maneuva, Toastie Taylor, Twigy, Rhino, and the rest of the non-US rap "artists". And white at that. Geez, what were they thinking?! Somebody better tell Company Flow and Audio Sports members to shut up and leave the rapping to Puff Daddy. <Note:Sarcasm...thought the "white germans rapping..." statement was one of the dumbest things I've read in ages.> --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J.

the fever is live, correct? i recall not liking it quite enough to buy it.. but having it stick in the back of my head.. i want to hear other stuff from these guys. i tink the problem for me is it was a bit *too* raw.. which is why im assuming its live. on sensational: i jsut recall hearing one cd by this guy (we got it at kuci) and it was quite impressive. any word on other release? and did he/they ever have anyting on vinyl? .crz__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ music, four lunchpails: wednesdays 7-8pm kuci 88.9fm www.kuci.org "i saw some pants that made me go fuck" - jsn.
