arrhythmia

How come no-one is talking about antipop consortium's new
album? It is one of the bravest gestures in todays hip-hop
(some would call it incredibly pretentious of course and
disgraceful to hip-hop too) and it's on WARP and it's
production is FANTASTIC and the rhymes are out there to the
max. Come on, you cunts..

I can't afford anything at the moment. I might get it when I
get paid. I don't tend to buy hip hop anymore, though I know
this is different. Is Mike Ladd part of the band?

Arch, I was kinda thinking of you when starting this thread.
I knew you'd love it, one of the best hip-hop records to
come out lately and with a nod to that knobtwiddling/ IDM/
glitch community but still holding its own ground.
And the lyrics... Actually, I can't make out half of what's
going on but that makes me go back to it even more.

And the production!!! Did you notice how the bass makes you
lose orientation, it shakes your brain in its bone
craddle...

no, he's not. But they are kinda part of the same scene...
Well, jonesy, this is not your classical hip-hop, it's very
out there, actually

'classical hip hop' thats a genre crossover id like to hear!

yeah, do it and have fun. mind you, it challenges listening
habits very much and you might wonder what the fuck is this
crap and what are they on about, but it should grow on you
quickly (in my case it only took one serious listen)

Did anyone get the Saul Williams' album? I was well
disappointed. I heard Twice the First Time and it blew me
away. Nothing on the album compares though.

no, i didn't mean it as in classical music meets hip-hop,
but you are just poking fun surely...

As a matter of fact, one of the tracks off Arrhythmia,
"Mega" makes an incredible bland of glitchy hip-hop and some
female opera singing but not in that cheesy way of certain
mainstream hip-hop artists: it is so idiosyncratic that it
works for me every time I hear it.

i was meaning to check it out ever since it was realised but
people constantly kept putting me off with comments similar
to yours

ok, i'm listening to the first two tracks now,
congestion/bubbles...it's really good! i love experimental
anything! and especially i like this because i used to be
into 90's gangsta rap...but now...(well..you guys know me
well enough), so obviously i like it. but i need to be more
indifrent to give it justice.

were you wanting to review this?

er... maybe... I used to be a music journalist once but was
really dissatisfyed with my writing style so I quit. Give me
some time to think it over. My writing is basically a
pretentious crap and I'm not sure about my english either.
And wait until you reach Ping Pong and Dead in Motion

yeah, ping pong is a little cheasy in my ears...but very
original...

hmm, I like ping pong precisely because it plays around some
cheesy sounds and still creates a profound narative (uhm,
there you have a classic example of my preposterous writing
style)

oy, what you should do is just write me a sample, and i'll
tell you about the writing style. Just be yourself, and i'm
looking for permenant staff members, which means i must
stress the personal voice even more.

i've had the whole cd...

i was expecting something a little more gansta...or
poppy...i don't think i like it to much...it just has lame
written all over it, and the ideas seem like it was written
by teens. the production isn't that bad, but you have to
consider that they don't really have much going on to it,
and that their lyrics are their strong point, and most of
the times when they get expiremental with the chopping up of
sounds...the song structure seems to be pretty much
intro/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus (just a rought estimate of
my first listen). i feel that bullbes will be the single off
of this cd. and since they placed it as the second
track...that's a dead giveaway most a lot of times. One of
the worst tracks is ping pong, and mega.

wow, you vicious, cruel thing... But anyway I told you that
it really challenges listening habits. I actually like the
production, it's total weirdness and cheesiness combined
with familiar structures... But I never dug gangsta
anyway...

how does it compare to say prefuse73?

only heard the frontpage warp stuff, and that was just
vocals without music
