Rated 4/5
Review by FirebrandX Sep 16, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)

referencing Hip Hop 2023, 2xCD, none

A relatively little known 2xCD set released by Hive under the now defunct Celestial Recordings (Hive now runs Voilence Recordings). This set gets better and better everytime I listen to it. Funky D&B "tours" mixed with various samples and tweaked sound effects create tracks that get stuck in your mind and keep you coming back to play it again. The downside (if you consider it one) is that some of the excellent music is overshadowed by MC lyrics that are distracting and decidely less "deep" than the music is.

The 2nd disc is even better than the first one, with some fantastic bizzaro-style remixes. It makes me think a crazy, tripped-out cyborg took control of the audio components.

Disc one is sectioned into 12 tracks, while disc two is one single track. 4 out of 5 on my rating and a must-have for any fan of D
