4.0 out of 5 stars Beat Pharmacy - Wikkid Times, May 12, 2011

This review is from: Wikkid Times (Audio CD)

Beat Pharmacy's 4th album, WIKKID TIMES, starts off a little bit like a Chain Reaction track overlaid with lyrics. Which is to say, quite nice. "Time" goes for a slightly more traditional dub with tech-flourishes at first, but it then moves into deep territory. The lyrics often have a political bent, but it seems as if they're more of a texture than actual content. "Sunshine" and "Nuclear Race" both have a bit more of a house vibe, though the long synth pads still predominate. "Hope & Frustration" goes into a major key, even if the lyrics seem to be of a minor key. "Backwards Never" slows things down to a crawl, and "Assassination of the Mind" goes for some easygoing relaxation. Wikkid indeed.

I listened to this cd actually thinking it was another group that I like. I think it is fantastic electronica that truly does take you on a trip somewhere in between the Caribbean and a deep underground party somewhere in London. The combination of sounds and rhythms is extraordinary! Truly creative and masterful composition of beats, vocals and trippy sounds.

While the "singer" (word used loosely) may rely a bit too much on the anticipated power of his lyrics (some of which are rambling and nonsensical), they don't distract from amazing stings, synths and tribal percussion that creates an almost symphonic fabric of sound. I am a fan now, and I forgot who I was looking for when I made this most pleasant discovery.

If you like this cd, check out Beat Pharmacy's Wikkid Times Remixes and Wikkid Times Versions. A.May.Zing.
