5.0 out of 5 stars Damn! If you like trip hoppy stuff, you'll love this!, January 16, 2000

This album is so nice. It's a fantastic, mellow, and beautiful set of songs that combine jazzy and trip hoppy music into some cool stuff. If you like Portishead, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, etc. you will go nuts for this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entroducing... Substances, May 18, 2006

This review is from: Substances (Audio CD)

I found this CD when I was in England in the spring of 97. I never heard of DJ Cam, but I was into Shadow & Krush and thought I'd take a chance. Good move. Although this CD was not at the same level as "Entroducing," "Meiso," or "Milight," it was still a solid effort and showed Cam's production abilities. I remember poping in this disc while riding in my group's van and driving to Glostenbury. The beats on this disc were a mash-up of Hip-Hop and electronica, making a bridge between the two styles and pulling an audience from both groups.

I'm glad I got the CD when I did; because I honestly have never seen a copy of it again. Worth the 10 pounds I paid for it and this may about 6 years late, but to the guy that wanted to know what he sampled on the track "Twilight Zone." THE SCORE FROM INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE.

3.0 out of 5 stars abstract hiphop?, March 21, 2000

By 

the trickster (Leeds UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Substances (Audio CD)

The growing world of abstract hiphop is producing some great material, but to qualify as hip hop, it must be hiphop, and that means it has to be real. Dj Cam's "Substances" seems to forget that at times, verging more towards ambient and triphop. While the fusion of arabic music,hiphop instrumentals and jazz produces some fresh results (check out "lost kingdom")underground hiphop headz might find the whole album too detached from the raw beats and street philosophy they're used to.
