green-metal Un sticker collé sur la pochette nous renseigne sur ce projet futuriste... A mutant hip-hop manifesto from mythic worlds of electronically altered experience ... Sorti en 1999, BILL LASWELL nous offre une superbe collection de morceaux variés avec divers musiciens rappeurs freestyles aux vocaux apocalyptiques de fin de monde (ou de siècle) sur fond de samples inspirés, beats robotiques et techniques de turntablism... Suite logique des albums précédents de MATERIAL ... Rap Is Still An Art. Favorite track: No Guts No Galaxy.

Harvey Cliff A missing link in the evolution of independent hip hop, at a critical tipping point this album snuck under the radar with a blueprint of the future, nosaj and keith and flava and priest and rammell, together forever Favorite track: This Morning.

lombards This has a true punk soul: breaks laws and experiments without boundaries. An album to eat raw. Favorite track: Taxi Man.

Nik Havert It's wild, weird post-punk. What's not to like?

Here's my full review - www.7thlevelmusic.com?p=14658 Favorite track: Taxi Man.

yakuzadog14 I almost shouted "that was live?!?!?" when I heard the crowd applause at the end of Daves. I can't overstate how precise these guys are despite having no composed material. Everything is performed flawlessly yet the music is far from sterile or unimaginative. The band will often explore a groove, but the contours of that groove will changes as the band makes their way through it. Records don't often leave me struggling to come up with any analogues the way this one has. AOTY contender. Favorite track: Daves.

auroraboreal one of the best albums I've ever listened to. truly innovative!

The Tonearm "You have eight sets of material, which is over eight hours of stuff to sift through, sometimes two sets a night. So we didn't want to put a record out that was basically saying, 'Here's this boxset of eight hours of music.' We wanted something that said, 'Here's this distilled, very concise expression of what we do.' Those are two different things."
