I just picked up "Suspicious" and i'm definitely excited about it. Matt
Cooper is one of my favorite artists. This review below, taken from the
Dorado site, pretty much sums it up... go there for some audio
samples...

Below that are other recent purchase reviews...
1.) Matt Cooper and Andreas Allen, AKA Outside, return in '98 with
another eclectic hip-hop soul jazz fusion outing, Suspicious. The album features guest vocalists Cleveland Watkiss (Metalheadz,
Project 23) Constantine Weir (Galliano, Pressure Drop) and Karime Kendra
(Chemical Imbalance) along with Everton Nelson on violin (4 Hero,
D*Note, Jhelisa, Instrumental) Dan Lipman on flute (Bjork), and Vancho
'the big f' Manoilovich on Percussion. From the spacey ambience of To Fly As Fast As Thought through the
hip-hop gospel of Revelation and the uptempo jazz funk of Don't Know Who
I Am to the jazz dub fusion of Overstanding and Incient Itation and the
soothing ballad Resist. This is an album that touches on all kinds of
styles, but fuses and presents them in a consistent manner and flows
from beginning to end. * * * * *

2.) Fantastic Four EP: Collection of four artist each with 1 song. Fat
ass mostly instrumental hip hop beats. One with a crazy conga vibe. 2
uplifting tracks and 2 more downtempo. Grab it. * * * *

3.) Jazz Upstarts- Jazz club: Looks like a promo and i never heard of
them. Anyone have info on this? Very NinjaTune-esque with the wacked out
samples, chopped up beats, and jazz flavs...* * * *

4.) DJ Punk rock- My Beat Box: Fast paced, electro, break dance, Fatboy
Slim meets Herbie Hancock's Future Shock . Even if your not into that
kind of thing... this jam is a floorshaker. Also has a slower Roc Raida
"Rockin' It Mix" that's fat as well. I had to buy it and i never spin
this stuff. * * * * *

5.) LA Yellow 357 compilation: Spy soundtrack with DJ Cam, Dimitri from
Paris, and the Mighty Bop. Classic!!! 95' i think? Really dope
repetitive beats ala UFO 3rd dimention stylee. Lotta funny samples. * *
