Rip Notes
---------
Issued in early 2008 along with the more extensive AND
ALL THE PIECES MATTER compilation, BEYOND HAMSTERDAM
serves as a musical companion piece to HBO's acclaimed
series THE WIRE. Appropriately, the collection features
R&B, hip-hop, and jazz acts from inner city Baltimore,
where the gritty ensemble drama is set. Highlights of
BEYOND HAMSTERDAM include a funky version of Tom
Waits's "Down in the Hole" by the teen vocal ensemble
DoMaJe, the streetwise "What You Know About Baltimore"
by rapper Ogun, and the horn-laden "Assume the
Position" by pianist Lafayette Gilchrist. While the
collection is ideal for fans of THE WIRE, it also
works wonderfully as a primer on Baltimore's thriving
music scene.
