Reviews & Discussion

Rated 5/5
Review by Bandwagon Mar 29, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Mostly instrumental mix, tiny bit of japanese rap, chilled out hiphop beats, little bit of jazz, very creative. Probably the best place to start, as it is an excellent introduction to DJ Krush's work.
Rated 5/5
Review by ecuadorian_bass Dec 23, 2004 (edited over 4 years ago)
B-b-b-b-back to the Essence indeed! On this sonic excursion Krush offers up a serving of beats and sounds that go way beyond the 'usual' boundaries of hip hop; and then some. The drums and accompanying a cappelas/effects/plunderphonics on this CD sound as though they were created/mangled/recorded in a disused and abandoned gothic cathedral or that carvernous space-ship envisioned by HR Giger in Alien: archaic or otherworldly. Bass is often a key element in this mix be it throbbing, gurgling or thumping; it wraps iteslf around your skull and penetrates every available space in your head. But if bass is one end of the spectrum then Krush's use of saxaphone samples is the other end of it. Floating and etheral he uses the samples to juxtapose the denseness of the bass, and to further enhance this audio canvas he introduces subtle use of reverb and echo to draw out and morph the shape of the noises; reminiscent of the fuzzy-edge screen as used in movie dream sequences. The sheer variety of the music and sounds availble in this mix and the way in which Krush comandeers it, makes this a delight to listen again and again. Sit back, pass the rizlas and transcend your audio limitations.
