Excellent turntablist beats and sound collages. Madlib is the ultimate beat junkie. As a tribute to his recently-deceased friend, Madlib has woven a masterful, deeply atmospheric record. Constructed of mellow, spacey jazz beats and peppered by 1960’s television samples, Vol. 5-6 sounds remarkably surreal. Old snazzy string basses and sirens punctuate Madlib’s signature slurred marijuana-clouded, heavy drum beats. Much of the techniques and production used in mixing pay homage to J-Dilla.
This record sounds strangely foreign but reveals subtle familiarities that evoke washes of nostalgia. Most of the samples in this album were taken from obscure jazz and soul records, but when they are scrambled and juxtaposed, they sound remarkably familiar and comforting. Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6 is a haunting, spiritual masterpiece.
All tracks are raw, there are too many (42) to list individually. All songs are very short, usually around 2 min long. There are lots of FCCs though, so read the FCC list below so you don’t be trippin’. Overall, this album is superb. For the love of God, play this album.
Best Tracks (All These are Clean): 4,5,7,10,13,14,29,38
Play After 10 PM Only: 11,16,21,41
NEVER OK TO PLAY (Too many FCCs): 1,2,9,26,28,
