5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me want to do the Side to Side, December 7, 2001

Aw, snap! Lo-fo, tinny, corny Casio beat-box sound, and one hell of a lot of fun. The first time I put this disc on I knew I was in for an audio treat, and now I can't stop spinning the damn thing.

BS 2000 is an off-shoot of the Beastie Boys, featuring the lo-fi noodlings of Ad-Rock and Amery Smith. Their sound consists mostly of Casio keyboards - with or without lyrics. The 20 songs last a total of roughly 45 minutes, so if you don't like one song, it'll be over soon! Some of the songs sound like early Beastie hard core, especially SICK FOR A REASON, and will likely appeal to people who like their CD AGLIO E OLIO. SCRAPPY sounds quite a bit like the Beasties' more recent work. But I'd say that BS 2000's music is more danceable than much of what the Beasties do. Overall, this CD is fun and different - all that you can expect from a side project. If you don't like it, then you can ask yourself, "Who died and left you Mr. Critic?" Sadly, this is one of the last CD's issued by the now-defunct Beastie label - Grand Royal. Try to get this one while it's still in print!!!!

BS 2000 is Adam Horovitz doing what he does best, entertaining. AD Rock hooked up the old school Casio's for this set and the grooves are down right infectious. The song lengths range anywhere from 1:30 to 3:00 and just bump. The music is fun and a nice change of pace from the most talented and original BBoy of them all. Simply Mortified is completely uncommercial and has received no publicity, yet I have a feeling that this "side project" might be the next big thing.
