CD ReviewsI know, I know, its an EP, but its still too short....... R. King | Brooklyn, NY | 07/13/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) " If you know the Books and Prefuse, then you know exactly what this collaboration will sound like. Its fantastic, don't get me wrong, but just as it starts to get going, its over. I've listened to it several times, suspecting that I would soon tire of it, but I haven't. Much like the Books' albums, they only grow over time as you engage in more in depth listening. Its actually interesting that clips from their last three albums make apppearances during the EP. However, a part of me was really expecting to be surprised by what I heard. Each of the Books' albums has been a surprise as they change and grow into their sound. So, something in me was hoping for that moment of "wow, I didn't see that coming." It never came, but the strength of this EP further lends credence to the importance of these two artists. It compliments their full-lengths, and is a must for fan of either artist. I used to be a huge fan of Prefuse (pre-surrounded by silence), and was glad to find him try his hand at something of this magnitude. Overall, a great listen, just not long enough, or adventurous enough......" Look how cool we are C. Flora-Tostado | Lake Forest, CA United States | 07/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Scott is still able to surprise, pulling tricks on his unexpecting listeners. Call it whatever you will this kind of skill is rare. Though his hip hop structure stays somewhat close to its roots, this music is more about the engineered textures constructed from source clippings and shavings. The beats he carves leave scattered sawdust that absorb the nitroglycerine leaking throughout and blow it back in your face. Hating on this does not make you cool folks, it makes you wrong" Prefuse does it again Evan Schuldt | 01/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "prefuse has always created some brilliant tunes to chill out to... this is one of them, collaborating with the books... my god very very good..... any of prefuse 73's records are good, but this one is a must."
