Description

Despite the misleading album title you get 15 tracks with 'Recuerdos', 'Walk Home', 'Stay Home' and the remixes by Count Bass D, Adventure Time and Blu Jemz taken from the 'Tease' and 'Torture' vinyl 12"s- everything else is previously unreleased! Alongside the Bully full lengthers the Piano Overlord album is the finest downtempo vibed album of the year. Scott's often cloaked love of live jazz instrumentation is fully revealed here, some tracks have that killer lo'down slung hip hop beat drive that gives you the impression that this album is a child of the 00's, while elsewhere tracks could have been birthed anytime from 1968 onwards. Of the new tracks, the short 'Another Marion B. Moment' is a wonderous taste of modal jazz freedom via acoustic and electric piano, from this point on referred to as the rhodes, ya get! The 'Tease EP' gave us the dope Express Rising remix of 'Spring's Arrival' - the original hits bullseye with the edgy mournful yet melodic keys, swingin' midtempo minimal latin flecked drums and buzz bass, tune! 'Spring's Demise' is three minutes of classic sounding spiritual jazz searching - one almost expects Alice Coltrane to appear any second on her angelic harp. 'Agorophobia' is a dark dank head buzzin' jazz bomb, mad riffin' sparks flyin' from the rhodes jamming with the dope beats - check the middle section and do the neck snap dance, ouch! The beautiful 'Intermission Thing' leads into 'Running for all his beats and jewels' - a slightly rustic african percussion fuelled live jam complete with evil drums. Away from Blu Jemz' remix 'No Community' reveals itself to be a densely layered percussion throwdown, probably the most Prefusian tip on this elpee. 'Triste Maita' is a killer brushed jazz drums trip before the second half goes all spiritual freeform soul searching. The album outro, 'You Stole My Stereo' drops more dope drums with backwards hi hats and finger clickin' offbeat snaps. Bonus on both CD and 2LP versions is Diplo's 'Electric Manatee Final Mixdown' a crazy alien disco throb track with electroid synth bass punches, gun loading percussion drops and more ingredients that make some kind of crazy sense.
