Antipop Consortium vs. Matthew Shipp Experimental Hip-Hop verses Free Jazz Piano Improv. This is a hard album to describe in a general sense, some of the tracks are jazzy bits with some hip-hop flavored beats, others are more like straight Antipop stuff with some live instrument comping. I picked up this to review because I really liked the first track, I just wish the rest of the album was as interesting. Don't get me wrong, this album is pretty good, but it's not all that revolutionary and I didn't feel like the two groups working together made something that was more then the sum of its parts. Try out tracks 1, 5, and 8 and then move out from there if you like what you hear. 1) **Instrumental with dark, wide piano chords 2) Straight ahead jazzy with vocal interludes 3) Slow rapping over a more sparse instrumentation 4) After a light, pretty straight, vocals, piano quoting XXX from Miles "All Blues" from Kind of Blue 5) *Looping piano repetitions with minimal accompanyment that very gradually increases intensity 6) Bowed bass intro, then rapping over a kind of minimalist drum-n-bass 8) *Slow rapping with sparse afro-beat percussion and occasional exclaimations from Shipp's piano 10) Up-tempo free jazz piano workout Tom Purcell, March 2003 | ||
