A ramshackle ramble of samples from a whole nother scene -- a ravaging wave of prog/kraut/psych slivers bent into hiphop shapes and its mostly brilliant. The track titles alone are a scavenger hunt for the nerds, snippets repeat, build atmosphere, and all those weird textures get pulled into atmosphere. All those perfect motoriks and bonkers X/Y signatures get twisted and tamed into grooveready throughlines.
Easily overlooked cause Madlib's a beast, but this's one of the strangest, boldest pieces of instrumental hip hop around - don't sleep 4.5/5
