Prefuse 73 Live (Warp) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odAni_-Ftf4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOUDG5zWGBU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWi0G_3qpD8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUTEd3OmIK0 Prefuse (Otherwise known as Savath & Savalas, Delarosa and Asora and Piano Overlord) is back. Did he go anywhere? Yes and no. Of course he kept up his schedule of crowd-rocking from Moscow to Mexico City, but most importantly he went back into the lab…by himself. Crafting a water-tight set of masterfully composed instrumental tracks, Guillermo Scott Herren’s managed to not only conjure the Prefuse 73 sounds that first hit you (kicks, snares, murky textures, edits, samples, screaming, etc.), but he’s also managed to refine his sound, again. By focusing on the foundation of his creative process and less on the intricacies of his trademark editing and chopping magic, he’s emerged with an album that will give fans a subtle taste of every Prefuse 73 record that has come before and will give the haters a deserved shake-up. 2002’s One Word Extinguisher and Extinguished Outtakes were landmarks, rippling with production that’s since been infinitely copied. 2005’s Surrounded By Silence was a collaborative milestone teaming Prefuse with Ghostface, GZA, Battles’ Tyondai Braxton and The Books, a lofty, exciting musical foray that sailed over many listeners heads. Now here’s another Prefuse 73 specialty, the sure shot. With a sunny acoustic guitar riding the beat, “Girlfriend Boyfriend” will recall the hazy breezes of hastily ending summer days long after they’re gone. Seething with ominous strings and synth tones, “Prog Version Slowly Crushed” not only sounds ready for the fiery delivery of a certain top-tier G-Unit member, but also manages to simultaneously look to Ennio Morricone and classic Autechre while “Aborted Hugs” takes a vaguely crunk approach to skewering free-jizz. While Preparations is definitively a solo-thinking Prefuse 73 album, there are still collaborations to be heard. The first features New York wall-of-psych band School Of Seven Bells, fronted by twin sisters Claudia and Alejandra Deheza, who manage to create the same air of allure and impending danger as the Sirens of Lorelei. Their turn with Guillermo is a centerpiece of the album, “Class of 73 Bells” swirls with undeniable melodies grounded by Prefuse’s stereo-rattling low-end. Speaking of low-end, if you’ve been to a Battles gig in the last couple of years, you’ve heard the punishing kick drum of one John Stanier, professor in the Helmet and Tomahawk schools of relentless rocking. On “Red Smoking” the front-and-center Battles drummer offers a bugged-out barrage of James Brown-meets-Boris percussion, which Prefuse proceeds to slice and edit at breakneck pace, adding white-hot samples at will. He is also responsible for the Eastern Developments Music label which is responsible for artists such as Eliot Lipp, Icy Demons,The Exposures and Daedelus. Herren describes his label as, "less concerned with being 'on some next shit', 'blowing the fuck up', or 'changing the face of anything'. 'We're more concerned with bringing you music we think you'll feel and understand in the same way we do." Beans Live (Antipop Consortium / Warp) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA78QNFbo7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxwJXTiSC3o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH9F_kayz3c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay1a2V1tBZg Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wonderful world of BEANS, aka Mr.Ballbeam. Hip-hop rebel. Wordsmith extraordinaire. Sonic architect. Fashion renegade. Published poet. Culture star. Raised in White Plains, NY and first picked up on in the mid-90's as part of the mythic Soup / Boom Poetic collective, the word began to spread. Having achieved his widest acclaim as one-third of the legendary NYC progressive rap crew, Anti Pop Consortium, BEANS continues his grand experiments in music and life with releases on Warp and Thirsty Ear. With lyrical virtuosity, vanguard production that straight bangers, and one of the most unique and remarkable live performances around, BEANS harkens back to the glory days when all it seemed to take was real talent, real passion and the desire to actually be real and simply shine. Having shared stages and toured with everyone from Radiohead to Vernon Reid, Prefuse 73, Ratatat, Dabrye, Bill Laswell, The Rapture to Tortoise, The Locust, Battles to DJ Krush, Kool Kieth, Pharoahe Monch to Aesop Rock, DJ Shadow to Cannibal Ox, Attica Blues to Terranova, plus Coachella and DJ gigs at The Guggenheim and with Missy Elliott. BEANS has displayed his multitudinous skills and the response has been astounding. Having first made a solo imprint with "Nude Paper", his 12-inch release on Mo'wax in 2000, BEANS gave us a taste of things to come. All this seems destined to redefine the word "fresh". The latest arsenal in his assault on the senses is BEANS new album entitled, THORNS. This record was written during a tumultuous 2 year period between his last release, SHOCK CITY MAVERICK and ONLY. THORNS is more straightforward and emotional in content yet more textured and dense in production. Guest producers include Dabrye, Tyler Bany and 3 collaborations w/ Holy Fuck. THORNS is an album you don't have to cut yourself to enjoy. P45 (Room 237) Organic sounds with an industrial crunch. His influences lie in anything from Drum & Bass, Jungle, IDM, Trip Hop, Ambient, Industrial Noise, Electronica, Glitch, Techno, and his obscure manipulations of samples can As the electronic side of Room 237 he has shared the bill with acts such as Jamie Liddel, Chris Clark, Milanese, Sqaurepusher, Shitmat, Tim Exile, DMX crew, LFO, Plaid, Cylob, Venetian Snares, Muziq, Luke Vibert, Radioactive Man, Surgeon, Chevron and the legendary Flat-E visual collective to name but a few and has acted as a musical compare for many of the gigs including Battles, Hella, Foals, Wolf Eyes, Erase Errata. |
