DJ Krush -- Shinsou -- The Message At The Depth . . . CD
Sony (UK), 2002
The latest salvo from Krush, and he keeps getting more and more out, but
that's always been the best thing about his approach -- the way he can
take abstract sounds, and snap them into a dope beat. We thought from
the first half of this disc that he's been listening to a lot of the
noisier new breed of underground hip hop, like the Def Jux camp, and you
can tell by who he's selected to collaborate with this go 'round that
he's feeling the leftfield approach: Anticon, the Opus and Anti Pop
Consortium, but he pulls in Sly & Robbie, vocalists Angelina Esparza and
Abijah too, for the jazzier half of the disc. Eleven tracks in all,
including "Trihedron", "Sanity Requiem", "The Blackhole", "D'You Hear
That", "The Lost Voices" and "What About Tomorrow".
Nicola Conte -- Jet Sounds Revisited . . . CD
Schema (Italy), 2002
The genius of Nicola Conte gets the remix treatment -- in this wonderful
new album that steps off heavily from his massive Jet Sounds set of a
few years ago! If you know Nicola, he's the wunderkind behind the Schema
label -- and, probably more than anyone in the world right now, one of
the few producer/musicians who can really handle a retro-sounding
groove. Conte's steeped in classic jazz, soundtracks, and bossa nova --
all of which come into play in his music -- and this set has him working
with a host of able talents who help to take his unique creative vision
even farther than before! Titles include "Jazz Pour Dadine" remixed by
The Dining Rooms, "Arabesque" done by Micatone, "Forma 2000" reformed by
Les Gammas, "Dossier Omega" redone by Espen Horne, "The In Samba" done
by Kyoto Jazz Massive, "Missione A Bombay" by Eddy & Dus, "Mambo De Los
Dandies" by Gerardo Frisina, and "Trappola Mortale (traffic replay) done
anew by The Freeform Arkestra.
