this album is a little different, it reminds me of 92 vs 02. its pretty much just instrumental. But prefuse is insane, he has some of the most creative beats put together. This album is done beautifully, that is why i say check it out. very intelligent cd, i dig prefuse 73.

5.0 out of 5 stars More accessable than "One Word Extinguisher", September 7, 2003

When I first purchased Prefuse's first offering on the Warp label (which turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, as I was anticipating a sound more Warp-ish, that is before they began to dabble in hip-hoppery), I was floored by that amazing concoction of heavily-processed hip-hop samples and analogue synths. I found this sort of sound the perfect marriage between the grooves of hip-hop and the complexity of IDM (or whatever you feel like calling it). I was extraordinarily happy when I found out that Prefuse was releasing a follow up album. I was even more happy when I found out that he was coming through Atlanta on his CD release tour. Though the show was the best I had ever been too, and though I actually listened to many of the tracks before they were released, I found that I was somewhat dissapointed. I was expecting another "Vocal Studies," or, in other words, an offering where the clicking and processing of samples deferred to the driving hip-hop groove. Though this, in my opinion, was reversed in "One Word," "Extinguished" appears to carry on the more focused direction that was found in "Vocal Studies." In this album, which proclaims itself to be "Alternate Takes and Beats from One Word Extinguisher," the songs progress in a gloriously rump-shaking manner. There are absolutely amazing tracks which, fortunately for us, capture the direction of "Vocal Studies," the mania of "One Word," and the analogue playfulness of both. And the album, or EP rather, is just plain fun to listen to throughout. Again, I find this EP to be much more accessable than "One Word," and I will almost certainly be listening to "Extinguished" much more than I will "One Word." Prefuse 73, please keep up the good work.

EXTINGUISHED: OUTTAKES is a hot mess, one that only Prefuse 73 could present. Even though these bits were axed from his ONE WORD EXTINGUISHER album, he's managed to cobble them into semi-coherency. "Suite for the Ways Things Change" represents the whole, I think, the way it switches tracks, but still seems to be of a whole. The tracks are segued such that it's impossible to tell where one begins and another ends -- a benefit when dealing with such disparate elements. "Dubs That Don't Match" strangely does match, and "Between Man and Woman" begs for something beyond its short running time, as does "I Can't Get My Eyes Off." "3 Sounds from 94" sounds more current than the title would have you believe, while "Robot Snares Got No Cadence of Balance" similarly proves its title wrong. Cheeky Scott Herren... he really knows how to construct.
