Live From The Grove

Excellent dark noisey beats and rhythms, sound collage. “Underground hip hop?”. Dalek, Amon Tobin, Cloudead, Od Nosdam, Anticon records type stuff. All instrumental with super cool samples, heavy downtempo beats that would make Portishead lull to sleep. Live recordings “from the Bohemian Grove” (yes, the place where skull and bones types like Reagan, Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld go, up in Sonoma, to have sex with eachother, underage boys and animals. Think: Salo the 100 Days of Sodom. See track #8). Okay, I doubt very seriously that this guy would be allowed to even drive up to the gates, let alone perform and record live there, but the sentiment and theme is very much appreciated.

1) (2:29) intro to cd: sample heavy, a big fat beat appears at 1 minute, fades, then become collage-like, “this album is a musical expedition”
2) (3:49) chill ambient trippiness that midway turns to epic downtempo that would make Portishead melt into their panties
3) (2:26) upbeat distorto beats, excellent, with a creepy buried sample
4) (3:24)heavy as hell distorto beat, turns industrial noise 2/3 way then ends with sick hilarious treatment of horrific “r&b” pop a la lionel Ritchie, bizarre
5) (3:07) creepy sci-fi
6) (4:18) heavy as hell hip hoppy beat, funky and excellent with super creepy spoken word sample in middle that turns into a non-sequitor treatment, wow wow wow
7) (2:18) a solid beat, funky and downtempo, bad ass
8) (3:04) trippy downtempo with weird aquatic sounds , about 1 minute left he uses a sample of a comedian who addresses the Bohemian Club’s “rich republicans”
9) (2:14) simple beats, treated heavy
10) (1:06) chill sounds
11) (5:10) about as epic a kick-ass down tempo can be, holy, just find the vein right now….
