│ │
│ We brought you; Madvillain-Koushik_Remixes-2005-soup (15 Files) │
│ and Madvillain-Four_Tet_Remixes-2005-soup (10 Files) a few │
│ months back. It seems like Madvillain is releasing these 2 ep's │
│ as one CD and we are proud to bring that to you. I am not sure │
│ which track has been omitted on this release as there seems to │
│ be one track short. │
│ │
│ See front picture included. │
│ │
│ Following is the Pitchforkmedia review of the EP's. │
│ │
│ On several occasions last year, I was slighty thrown by the │
│ curious ambient intro to Madvillainy opener "Illest Villains". │
│ Before giving way to a Pink Panther-style bassline and some │
│ patently brilliant vocal sampling, the bubbling 10-second │
│ prelude to 2004's most accomplished hip-hop disc doesn't sound │
│ like hip-hop at all. The blippy pulse kind of sounds like static │
│ from some interplanetary radio station. It kind of sounds like │
│ Four Tet, who proves to be quite the unconventional rap producer │
│ on his tag team effort with that cagey masked marauder MF Doom. │
│ │
│ Originally slated to drop last summer soon after the release of │
│ Madvillainy, these remix EPs were delayed at first due to │
│ creative feeling-out and nitpicking. Both Doom and Madlib wanted │
│ to tweak a couple of the remixes and-- thanks to their │
│ famously-hectic schedules-- the wait inevitably snowballed. │
│ After a botched test pressing, the songs finally broke free │
│ recently, albeit only on iTunes (due to contractual fine-print, │
│ these mixes will only get a physical release in Europe on wax). │
│ Still, the downtime has its benefits: With more distance between │
│ the originals and the new mixes, it's easier to consider these │
│ tracks on their own, and they'll inevitably have you going back │
│ to the source with a refreshed, slightly skewed perspective. │
│ │
│ Four Tet mastermind Kieran Hebden may not be the most obvious │
│ choice to take on such classic material but, based on his │
│ six-song collection, he's an inspired pick. Although │
│ psych-scratching Stone Thrower Koushik would seem like a more │
│ suitable candidate on paper, it's Hebden's far-reaching │
│ reimaginings ("remix" doesn't quite do these painstaking tracks │
│ justice) that truly impress. Employing his trademark │
│ free-jazz-inspired, electro-acoustic patterns, the laptop guru │
│ amasses small armies of saxophone squawks and looping synths all │
│ marching to some of the hardest drums he's ever programmed. Ever │
│ the sonic neat-freak, Hebden somehow tames his cacophonies and │
│ makes everything bump like a batch of Interstellar │
│ Coltrane-approved boom-bap. │
│ │
│ Though best known for his laid-back Volvo-ad-ready beat-suites, │
│ Hebden's always had traces of Shadow-esque hip-hop soaked into │
│ his background fabrics. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that │
│ Hebden was a big Madvillain supporter early on. Nearly a year │
│ before Madvillainy's official release, he was praising retarded │
│ hard copies in a self-penned Pitchfork Artist List: "MF Doom │
│ also has a record coming out with Madlib soon," he wrote in May │
│ 2003, "[it's] so good I pretty much shit my pants every time I │
│ hear it." │
│ │
│ The guy's Doom obsession obviously borders on near-stalker │
│ levels, and his familiarity with Madlib's original thunder │
│ proves invaluable. Hebden's focused instrumentals strip away any │
│ and all sonic traces of Lib's ashed-out, quick-fix soul, but │
│ they match the West Coast beatminer's unflappable │
│ adventurousness. Paired with Doom's jigsaw narratives, Hebden │
│ doesn't necessarily improve upon the original tracks as much as │
│ he offers a supplemental shade of depth to a much-loved │
│ masterwork. │
│ │
│ Both physically and stylistically, Hebden and Doom make an odd │
│ couple ripe with "hilarious" buddy-cop potential. In the │
│ passenger seat sits a hunched-over laptop guru who's known to │
│ perform with a glowing Banzai tree next to his console, and │
│ driving the wheel (and chomping the donuts, of course) is Doom's │
│ most-blunted, beer-bellied dictionary-snob. │
│ │
│ The free-form mood is set from the beginning as opener "Meat │
│ Grinder" twitches and spurts for a good 30 seconds of utter │
│ randomness. A lazy clarinet surfaces at one point. Cut up │
│ saxophones share their confusion with pulsating factory noises. │
│ Then Hebden cracks the beat and acts as pied piper to the aural │
│ odds and ends, which quickly fall in line and suddenly make │
│ total sense. It's like a Magic Eye poster for the ears. "Money │
│ Folder" gets the banger treatment, drums train-clacking across │
│ the speakers over a sinister synth line. And, of course, Hebden │
│ takes full advantage of Doom's "old jazz standard" break │
│ invitation, setting off an entire Ornette Coleman symphony. The │
│ most intriguing track is "Great Day," where the producer │
│ translates Madlib's lackadaisical stroll into a brooding │
│ patchwork of whizzing acoustic guitar effects that gently bend │
│ against the beat's downtempo grain. Lines like "It's easy as Pi, │
│ three point one four/ One more one false move and they done │
│ for," take on a new gloomy resonance as the track turns Doom's │
│ peculiar boasts into those of a sullen bully with a conscience. │
│ │
│ Psychedelic mish-mash DJ Koushik's eight-track EP runs just │
│ under 10 minutes long, staying true to Madvillain's haphazard │
│ punk-rock pace. He goes lengths to emulate Madvillainy's canny │
│ blend of comic-book-inspired dialogue (Dr. Doom creator Stan Lee │
│ pops in, pontificating in his unmistakable growl, "You can not │
│ be arrested for wanting to conquer the world-and that's all that │
│ Doom wants.") and loose, soulful loops. Flutes float in and out │
│ of "Strange Ways" and cooing back-ups help "Curls" find a decent │
│ groove, but most tracks fly by at such a quick clip, they hardly │
│ leave an impression. More of a logical continuation than a total │
│ revamp, Koushik's EP is competent, but doesn't add anything new │
│ to Doom and Lib's wily formula, ultimately reading like an │
│ engaging-but-kinda-empty Cliff's Notes version. │
│ │
│ Since he's working with everyone from Danger Mouse to Ghostface │
│ nowadays, is it too early to propose a full-fledged DoomTet long │
│ player? Then he can move onto a DualDisc collabo with Animal │
│ Collective and Will Oldham. Make it happen, Doom. │
