▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ The cover artwork features a beautiful ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ black woman, sitting on a white chair ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ listening to a 70's style stereo system. ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ The cover and the graphics bring a ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ slightly different vibe from what is in ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ fashion now, maybe suggesting that ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ this album is not of this time. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ "Ultra Proteus" sounds like a long lost ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ classic hip-hop album from 1992, backed ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ with a few instrumentals from 1972, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ until you realize that the copyright on ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ the back says 2004. Once I heard the sound ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ of the Hammond organ rolling through ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ with chopped beats, I knew this album ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ would be great. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Approach is the rapper and producer, so ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ he is able to create his own sound in his ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ own terms without regret. As he says in ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ "Funk Reaction", Approach tries to ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ create music that is for "the body and ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ the soul", and that statement doesn't come ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ with attitude or arrogance. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Approach wears his love of the old ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ school with pride, and perhaps for that ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ reason these songs may turn off a lot of ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ people who are used to silly meaningless ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ sing-song tracks. The way he raps (at ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ times sounding like Doodlebug of ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ Digable Planets) and the way he weaves ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ within the music, which goes back and ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ forth between layered samples and real ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ instrumentation, makes him someone to ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ look out for. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ With Black Eyed Peas and Thelonious Monk ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ cited as influences, maybe there's more ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ to Approach than what is heard on "Ultra ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Proteus." ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
