Shaman Work
's
Beatology
comp features tracks from
Count Bass D
(
"All In"
),
Dabrye
"Tell Dem"
Prince Paul
with
Newkirk
"Showdown at the Hoedown"
), and
Kev Brown
"Brown Liquor"
), among others. The sound here is underground and broken instrumental
hip-hop
, with lots of unidentified or otherwise weird noises riding out over muted percussion that stops and starts in hitches.
Exile
"Dirty Robots"
has a
DJ Krush
feel, while the
/
track cuts up twangy acoustics and slide guitars over a slight head nod and
works in his usual
jazz
abstraction. Great stuff throughout. ~ Johnny Loftus
