DJ Spooky Vs. Dave Lombardo: Drums of Death

Read "Drums of Death" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Word to the wise: play Drums of Death at full volume. Piss off the neighbors--some things are more important. You'll want to feel your chest vibrate with the bass, your bones sizzle with the drums, and your very flesh seared by the guitars. These mutant hip-hop funk metal jams are not for the faint of heart, ...

DJ Spooky vs Dave Lombardo: Drums of Death

Read "Drums of Death" reviewed by Paul Olson


There have been about thirty thousand attempts to fuse hip-hop and heavy metal music since the Beastie Boys tried it first on Licensed to Ill back in 1986. Most of these attempts fall somewhere in the continuum between “unsuccessful-but-well-meaning (Ice-T's metal band Body Count) and outright bad (the odious nü-metal of Korn and Limp Bizkit).

We arrive at the mix, the remix, and the original sound recordings from the same place. Your ears, you see (you hear), cannot differentiate between the original and what has been reconstituted. But your psyche can. DJ Spooky knows this and he is a master of playing with your subconscious mind. He deals in ...

DJ Spooky: Dubtometry

Read "Dubtometry" reviewed by Farrell Lowe


This is such an exciting time in the world of modern jazz. We are in the midst of a new wave of fusion where jazz artists unabashedly embrace current pop and world music sound forms. When Miles Davis went electric in the Sixties, it caused quite a stir; I can only hope this new brand of ...

DJ Spooky: Dubtometry

Read "Dubtometry" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Formally Dubtometry represents a remix of 2002's bold jazz-tronic record Optometry. Indeed, the common denominator remains DJ Spooky, who produced this 17-piece set. But the comparisons between hip-hop and jazz, which Spooky so effectively blended on last year's record, end right there. It might be jazzy, but this is a straight-up hip-hop record, no matter how ...

DJ Spooky with Mad Professor: Dubtometry

Read "Dubtometry" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Did you catch that sample of Chef from Apocalypse Now in the remix of DJ Spooky’s Optometry ? Not Dennis Hopper or Marlon Brando, but the crazed boatmen who transport Martin Sheen up the river and into the heart of darkness are sampled here. There have to be cosmic implications for quoting Apocalypse Now, ...
