5.0 out of 5 stars The Illbient Masterpiece, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Riddim Warfare (Audio CD)

I found this CD when going through the record store and I had heard some of his piece's on the radio it standed out I put it on and I was hooked. It's now a prize piece in my collection, his use of different bass guitars, live bands, DJ mixing, and samples makes for an album that has such a vast soundscape that it pulls you in. It is a absolute Masterpiece!

Otherwise I'd wear it out. Of the three Dj. Spooky Cd's
I have this is my favorite. It has the right amount of rapping
and enough smooth beats to make it pleasant to listen to. The other stuff i've heard of his is harsh and disjoint enough that you really have to be engaged with it to enjoy it. An earlier posting expressed their disdain for cool keith. I actually think he enhances the album. I've never like anything he has produced himself, but his voice works well with this sound. It's sometimes cheesy to hear peeps with philosophy backgrounds appropriate scientific terms to sound futuristic, but when Cool Keith does it on this album, it actually works.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

As DJ Spooky says himself about his scratching and "illbient" hip-hop mixing -- it's "music made from fragments of the world." I think DJ Spooky is one of the few artists out there who is innovating and creating new music without compromising humanity of art by only adding new technology.He is asking the questions that need to be asked through music. His album is challenging and has beautiful moments that reflect the postmodern pace of life and of interaction. I love this album because it's what life is all about -- intensity,energy, ecclecticism, creativity, and passion, as fusion of other's ideas,art, perceptions, philosophies.Check it out. A refreshing album and dj.
