5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, April 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dust (Audio CD)

Many people complain about the state of music being boring. Yet when good music comes out they tend to compare and complain about the sound and how different it is. This album is great and it lift the soul, which is what good music is supposed to do. Muggs has truly developed his skills beyond his usuall Cypress hill sound. Good Job

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Cypress Hill' Only Hinted at His Potential....., January 20, 2004

This review is from: Dust (Audio CD)

Having already having been recognised as amongst the elite of Hip-Hop Producers/Dj's........as well as the Driving force behind "Cypress Hill". Dj Muggs takes time out from Cypress Hill to take another stab at the lucrative `Electronica' market. (After having co-produced on 1999's "Tricky's - Juxtapose" album. But although rather than merely retreading the Dark, menacing sound of their previous collaborative effort....Mugg's chooses to create an album that is equal parts "Portishead"/"Pink Floyd"/"Tricky" & "Dj Shadow" to jaw Dropping effect. Muggs never sticks to one style of music throughout the album, choosing instead to mix skilfully & seamlessly between all of the previously mentioned artists....yet always approaching from a fresh angle, as opposed to being an inferior imitation. By bringing in guest vocalist's ("Buckcherry's" - Josh Todd / the Afghan Whigs' - Greg Dulli & rapper "Everlast" plus several female vocalists), Muggs creates a woozy, nocturnal, seductive slow burner that has both its feet firmly entrenched in late-night consumption. Track two "Rain" shimmers & hypnotizes with it's bleak sonic soundscapes that are not too dissimilar to "Portishead", and track seven "Tears" is a brooding electronic highlight that pounds away with a eerie female vocal track combined to staggering effect. Muggs accomplishes a great deal with this album, and despite the fact that this album feels positively exclusive to late night listening, this is undoubtedly the best `Paranoia-inspired' Electronica album to be produced since "Tricky's" effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Album!, April 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dust (Audio CD)

This CD is produced by cypress hill's legendary producer dj muggs, but it is not a hip-hop album. What muggs has created here is a down-tempo rock masterpiece. The vocals are mainly handled by amy trujillo and josh todd, but there are also apperances by greg dulli, who delivers the vocals on the excellant 'fat city' and muggs also collabs with his old pal everlast on the brilliant 'gone for good.' My other favourite track is 'rain.' But there are also many other great songs on the album. I seriously recommend this CD not only to cypress hill fans like myself, but to everyone who loves music, as this album has music from a variety of genres that will be enjoyed by everybody. Also, this CD shows that dj muggs is not only the best hip-hop producer around. But the best producer around. Period!
