A taste of the underground

(5 out of 5 stars)
"There are many different titles and subtitles for this disk, yet none of them point to the fact that this compilation was put together by Dj Spooky (aka Paul D. Miller). For those who do not know, Dj Spooky is probably the most well-read Dj/producer in history. This collection of "illbient" is for a more intellectual and experimental breed than adherents to mere hip-hop/trip-hop circles. Nonetheless, the beats found herein have a bass-boomin' groove that anyone with subwoofers can appreciate.The last track is a bit of madness from spooky himself that will definately twist your brain with its chaotic structure and sample from...yes, that's right...Mr. Rogers!"

"This CD (usually called VALIS 1) is one of the slamminist Illbient collections you can buy. Also check out the Land of Baboon CDs, the Crooklyn Dub Consortium CDs, and Wordsound 23 Comp."
