5.0 out of 5 stars Flow..., January 15, 2002

This review is from: DJ Spooky: Under the Influence (Audio CD)

this is da bomb! I don't care what anybody says... when you get stuff like japanese shikahachi flutes mixed with Moby, little snippets of Redman saying "let's get ILL!" mixed with Kool Keith, or some of the weird ambient sounds at the end of the record, its just open... think Solid Steel or Krush's Code 4109, but more abstract. I've been checking Dj Spooky's stuff for a while, and Necropolis was weirder than this stuff... "Under the Infleunce" is more dance oriented... Spooky always breaks rules [....] I say good! I'm soooo sick of dj's that play the same stuff all the same way every time... the turntablism in this is subtle - weird effects underneath Saul Williams voice, Future Sound of London turned into dub, Deckwrekka (a cool underground turntablist out of London) cut into Sussan Deyhim - who sings in some weird middle eastern language... this is like what Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaata were doing back in the day... its raw, but smooth. Choice cuts: Sonic Youth's "Tremens" (weird instrumental chilled out rock), Dj Spooky's remix of Anti-Pop consortium, Paradox's mix of middle eastern sounds with drum n' bass... another subliminal classic

5.0 out of 5 stars nice...not a bumpy ride through underground music, October 18, 2001

Five stars to DJ Spooky (...)Being his second DJ mix since 1996 one can notice a difference in sound. His older work "Necropolis" is dope, and contains a lot of ambient/illbient/dub tracks. This is a little more hip-hop friendly, featuring a lot of ill underground acts (i.e Anti-Pop Consortium, Mike Ladd, DJ Logic). This is the first album that I have heard that has successfully attempted to bring together clearly defined underground musical genres without loosing the vibe. (...)Show him your support.

This CD is pretty tight, infact one of the tightest i have ever heard period. I got into The Deckwrecka and DJ Spooky like 2 years ago and this is my favorite cd yet. A lot of breakbeats and a nice drum'n'bass fill. The best songs in my opinion are 3:7:8 by Emergency Broadcast Network, Show Stoppa by DJ Ziggy, and Sycosis by The Deckwrecka. Mad beats and some skilled turning by paul. Nice job on this paul. Peace guys. You like hip hop or techno with a jazz-twist, then you will like it.
