This release pales in comparison to the previous two Ramadan 12"es - while the latter were minimal, stripped down affairs with rather oppressive themes, this release adds vocalists that fail to surprise or amaze in terms of lyrical ability. There is an affinity in terms of production, but only during brief, rare moments do the productions reach the atmosphere of Kareems productions.

Back to the basics, please!

Big Daddy Rick - Rowdy Electro EP - 27-Sep-05 05:32 PM
A shining milestone in ghetto bass history, as the first Databass release of course, but mostly for Titty Inferno, which features the vocals off Tits Like Balloons with the Trampps Disco Inferno as a backing track. Not for the faint of heart!

Handbag/Abba versus Istari Lasterfahrer - Acid Explosion / Judge Dread - 28-Mar-05 06:06 AM
A proper sample raper, this 12" - for lovers of Sickboy, Kid606s escapades on Violent Turd, Stunt Rock et al, this is where its at. You got the Tatu, you got the Nelly, you got the embarassing Radiohead hit from way back when, Simply Red, 90ies house classics, it all gets that special distorted treatment and everyones favorite bassdrum underneath. Hardcore, motherfuckers!

Louis and Bebe Barron - 09-Feb-05 02:28 AM
From NPR Morning Edition by Susan Stone, February 7th 2005:

The 1956 sci-fi thriller Forbidden Planet was the first major motion picture to feature an all-electronic film score -- a soundtrack that predated synthesizers and samplers. It was like nothing the audience had seen -- or heard. The composers were two little-known and little-appreciated pioneers in the field of electronic music, Louis and Bebe Barron.

Married in 1947, the Barrons received a tape recorder as a wedding gift. They used it to record friends and parties, and later opened one of the first private sound studios in America. The 1948 book Cybernetics: Or, Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, by MIT mathematician Norbert Wiener, inspired Louis Barron to build electronic circuits, which he manipulated to generate sounds. Bebes job was to sort through hours and hours of tape. Together they manipulated the sounds to create an otherworldly auditory experience.

The Barrons music caught the ear of the avant-garde scene: In the early 1950s, they worked on a year-long project with composer John Cage. They also scored several short experimental films.

But avant-garde didnt pay, and the Barrons decided to cash in by turning to Hollywood. Their score for Forbidden Planet drew critical praise, but a dispute with the American Federation of Musicians prevented them from receiving proper credit for the soundtrack. Their names were also left off the films Oscar nomination.

Union rules continued to be an obstacle, and technology eventually passed the Barrons by. Though they never scored another film, Louis and Bebe Barron, who divorced in 1970, continued to collaborate until his death in 1989.

Bebe Barron didnt compose for a decade, but in 1999 she was invited to create a new work at the University of California-Santa Barbara, using the latest in sound-generating technology. The work, completed in 2000, is called Mixed Emotions.

B2 Help Wanted and
B3 Population Control
both heavily sample dialogue and music from the extremely bizarre mexican movie "The Holy Mountain" by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
