There's a really easy way to sum this up - you NEED this disc. In a
year that has seen a plethora of re-jigged hip-hop stake claims to
innovation and the cross-fertilisation of the B-Boy and Electronic
genres, few artists have managed to come up with an amalgam that is
as original, engrossing and downright fat as this.
Timeblind appears to come from a universe all his own - sounds here
echo the finest lo-fi hip-hop, Berlin dubism, heavyest rudeboy
basslines, jiggy, cut-up - all manner of devices modified to make u
shake yr ass. The opening Rastabomba is immense - a midpace break
of the dustiest, dirtiest proportions attaches itself to an
immaculate dub refrain and is accompanied by the kind of relaxed
rudeboy voiceover that Carl Craig used to such great effect on the
last Innerzone Orchestra LP.
Desperado Move, featured on the excellent Bloatware 12", is
crushing - instrumental hip-hop filtered through a distance effect,
decimated and rebuilt with the heaviest low-end you'll hear this
year. Shockout style. We could go on and on about individual
tracks, but this would be a largely pointless exercise for an album
that hits the spot so often and with as much flair and crushing
bounce. Go on, treat yourself. Immense! --www.crucial-systems.com
