Ok, well, I heard the majority of this LP, though in a random-skip order. Here's how: I sat outside my downtown studio-building and listenned to the suburban kids slowly cruising through downtown (traffic is at a crawl just in front of my door. Everyone was blasting this new BBoys cd. Two noteworthy songs I heard at length: one had a heavily-processed sample of War's "Low Rider" as a sort of instrumental bridge. Another, probably called "E'lectric..." had an odd-time sample- jacking of the word "'lectric..." or something. The beats were predictable simple BB thumpin', and I heard them on a wide variety of pickup and car sound-systems, all with more-than-adequate bass. Fiberglass pickups usually resonate a little rattley at certain freq's, I noticed. The Beastie Boys never fail to make teenage party music that appropriately lacks subtlety and basically _rakes_ through the history of funk and hip hop and repackages it as an endearing snotty rap that works as angst-fueled pop. No suprises for BB fans, somewhat of a return to earlier form, imo. solenoid@europa.com <------+
