It's another word for badly produced and monotonous. Very murky
sounding beats and very little ideas. He's quite refreshing in small
doses as it does make a change from the norm but over the length of an
LP it really grates. There is some scratching on a few tracks but its
amateur to say the least. The LP has had some good write-ups so don't
take my word for it but it is not the work of a genius no matter what
you read. That's just my opinion but I have yet to come across anyone
who really likes his stuff. He should stick to painting.

Colin.
