    hip-hop, where to begin?

    Ghostface is a big house head, occasionally mentions some producers and actually released some house remix 12"inches of tracks from "Pretty Toney". Beyond that...

    hip-hop, where to begin?

    I don't think I saw any mention of it, but The D.O.C.'s "No One Can Do It Better" is absolutely essential. Completely second the recommendation of "Soul Food" by Goodie Mob. If ever any album was crying out to be Chopped & Screwed...

    Rap & US hardcore punk

    Actually, after digging the album out I realize I jumped the gun in making fun of "!!!!!!"...it actually does hold up well (and flows really nicely into "Sacrifice"). Their guitarist Ben Kenny seems to have toured with Incubus (!?) and was the catalyst for the track. There's the expected Minor...

    Eno or Cale ??

    ...then Eno would win, if only for not having inflicted The Raven on an unsuspecting public. "These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Not exactly the boy next door"

    has hip hop been "aesthetically brutalised"?

    The Viking club is disintegrating pretty steadily as well, due to the gradual embrace of some mighty Valkyries into black metal circles. They include one of the members of the insanely innovative eco-terrorist BM group Velvet Cacoon (playing steam powered guitar piped through an aquarium of...

    What's the best music from Japan you've heard in the past six months?

    arcaNa...which Acid Mothers have you heard? Being a convert myself I find their take on psychedelic rock fresh and unique, more taking their unabashed love of a pre-existing genre and building on it than just regurgitating Hawkwind riffs over and over again. That's not to claim that AMT...

    Cobra! That's fantastic. "Come On And Oi!" indeed.

    What's the best music from Japan you've heard in the past six months?

    Not really from the past six months (but reissued in that time, so I'll count it) is Ghost leader Masaki Batoh's "1995-1996: Collected Works". It starts off with Batoh's wonderful covers of Can's 'Yoo Doo Right' and Cream's 'World Of Pain' both of which are really interesting takes on the...
