The Beat Kondukta strikes again

Madlib is undoubtedly one of the strangest birds in the music scene. Who sometimes loosely casually told in interviews as an anecdote to have recently been cut into in a Paris record store $ 20,000 on his head, has indisputably a. At the Waffle But Madlib is nunmal perhaps the greatest Musiknerd the planet. Knows everything, like everything, and just sees his rather impressive discography of: Whether as a one man jazz combo (Yesterday's New Quintet), drug-addicted clown with helium voice (Quasimoto) or in combination with other producers or rappers (Jaylib, Madvillain) that beats the producers from Oxnard have now a worldwide fan base. 35 of these gems puts us Madlib on the new album before that his last two 12 '' - summarizes publications on Stones Throw Records. Of course, the tracks sound more sketches than songs, a musical kaleidoscope, zusammengesamplet from the music with open ends and from everywhere and backed by drums. Hardly a track is longer than two minutes.

But these two minutes you will have it again in itself. The highlights were there for example to call "Gold Jungle", highlighted on the Madlib slightly oriental samples and vocal samples with raw African Drums. Or "Understanding", my personal favorite, with pitched woman's voice and wonderful Drums. Or "The ComeUp" which shamelessly uses at the 60 and miraculously at the beginning in the background again a sample with the song "Got To Have That threesome" operated. Would love to know where that is already restored. But so it goes a constant in this board. It would be a life's work to identify all these references and samples. Madlib digs in all corners of the musical world and spinning these threads to an undisputed great whole. Super plate. 8.5 / 10
