│ Now comes a ludicrously fabulous, oft-manic, sometimes mellow │
│ twenty-two-song long player of such astounding variety that it seems │
│ a lot longer than sixty-seven minutes: Hello Nasty. Mike D, Ad-Rock │
│ and MCA opened their career with a pair of hip-hop albums (Licensed │
│ to Ill and Paul's Boutique), then shifted gears for a pair of records │
│ that were more punk influenced (Check Your Head and Ill │
│ Communication). With their fifth proper album, a playfully mature │
│ Beastie record (if that's possible), they turn the focus back toward │
│ hip-hop - there's not one hardcore punk song here -- but with an │
│ understanding of how to conflate their two largest influences into │
│ one smooth-flowing package. Imagine the collaboration that Black Flag │
│ and De La Soul might have made, mixing jaunty samples and esoteric │
│ beats with punk-guitar crunch while shifting between that old │
│ we're-havin'-fun-on-the-mike ethos and a primal, post-vocal wail. │
│ Imagine a sonic mix that's about sixty-five to seventy percent the │
│ frenetic, sample-crazy hip-hop eclecticism of Paul's Boutique and │
│ about twenty-five to thirty percent the funk-punk fun of Ill │
│ Communication -- with a cool, Latin-influenced near-instrumental │
│ ("Song for Junior") and a sublime Brazilian-flavored acoustic number │
│ called "I Don't Know," which is sweetly delivered by MCA(!): "I'm │
│ walking through time/Deluded as the next guy/Pretending and hoping to │
│ find/That distant peace of mind," and at that point you, too, will do │
│ a double take. What? Did my Smashing Pumpkins CD sneak into the │
│ player? No, that's just one of the many nice surprises on Hello Nasty │
│ -- they wail, they whisper, they sample Spanish, they sample a little │
│ kid, they let Biz Markie and reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry do │
│ whatever they want. Still, it all flows so neatly, it's like a │
│ single, multigroove, multisample, multihook sound collage that kinda │
│ morphs into something else every few minutes, with movements titled │
│ in a classically smart-aleck Beastie fashion - "Super Disco │
│ Breakin'," "Song for the Man," "Sneakin' out the Hospital," "Dr. Lee, │
│ Ph.D." Good luck digesting all this sonic info before Labor Day. │
│ Hip-hop hasn't unleashed anything this fantastically dense since the │
│ heyday of De La and Public Enemy. │

│ HAPPY BIRTHDAY UBE - ROCKIN' THE SCENE FOR ONE YEAR NOW │
│ │
│ Yeah, we did it. One year ago, at September, 6th, we released our │
│ first album "The New, The Classic & The Unexplored Vol. 1" under the │
│ UBE label. We started as a small group of friends who knew each other │
│ from various german MP3 channels on IRCNet, and from this time on UBE │
│ realized, that here are much more possibilities for us. │
│ Now, after a year of both trouble and fun, we can look back at many │
│ quality releases, and we are proud of our work. Now it's time to thank │
│ everybody who helped us to grow that big. Fat props fly out to all │
│ siteops, friends, members, ex-members, all other mp3 groups and last │
│ but not least you, the guys who leech our stuff. │
│ Expect more of UBE in the next year, we have a strong memberbase to │
│ rock your house with cool music. │
│ And don't forget : It's quality that counts, not quantity. This was our │
│ motto from the beginning, and it'll never change. │
│ │
│ As any other group, we are still looking for good talented rippers and │
│ suppliers, who can supply us with new releases or any other things that │
│ could be interesting for us (e.g. hardware, shells, webspace, domain). │
│ If you have something you can contribute to the group, feel free to │
│ │
