| Album Description: |
It's a record about getting old and looking back
Talking about hip-hop and rap
The sorry state of the world today
The horrible things we do and say
The way it will all return to dust
Entropy, decay, and rust
All ripped straight from daily life
February 2007 - 28 days and nights
The sound is modern and stripped-down
Minimal, distressed somehow
Bit-reduced, distorted, glitched
Clicks and buzzes, boom and hiss
...
Contemporary sounds visit the intersection of old-school rap (Run-DMC, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa) and early industrial dance (Nitzer Ebb, Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire). |
