#1043 Todd Terry - Resolutions

Pretty fundamental stuff from the breakbeat innovator: the big bass, the looping synths, the one big vocal sample and those skitterey breaky beats, hard hitting-stuff that augers the Chemical Brothers. Each song sticks to its guns, works its samples over, drops in, drops out, punches the right beats, and solid pacing puts up a good albumwide listening. Some tracks overextend their samples (Merdahrah! Merdahrah! Merdahrah! Merdahrah! Merdahrah! Merdahrah! Merdahrah!), but the occaisional guest rapping and toasting keeps it from getting too predictable. Pretty good shit 3.5/5
