killing puritans is another guest-heavy, genre-bending full-length
to file alongside van helden's last full lp, 1998's 2 future 4
you. harking back to the glory days of late-'80s acid-house, it's
heavy on dark club jams that work around a simplistic sample with
diva theatrics and rapper freestyles. as such, most of these
tracks work much better on the dancefloor than the living room. on
the breakout single "little black spiders," van helden spends
eight minutes running through different filters on a metal riff
(from the scorpions' "bad boys running wild") while his guest
vocalist fiona marr repeats the title. van helden increases
listeners' attention spans during the rest of the album though,
hitting peaks with the rolling disco charm of "full moon"
(featuring an excellent performance by common) and the
electro-scratch nightmare "koochy," which matches a
near-pornographic cell-phone vocal with a scratch-heavy treatment
of the main riff from "cars" by gary numan. "hybridz" has another
prominent sample ù the bass and rhythm track from the acid-house
anthem "no way out" by armando ù while van helden's alien alias
the mongoloids scats over the top. though it lacks a massive club
hit the likes of "u don't know me," killing puritans remains an
enjoyable look at several different flavors of the domestic dance
scene. internal release for reqfilling matters >> bbeat
