My friend just bought DHR's Bomb20, and I remarked how it's political stance over hip-hop breaks reminded me of Consolidated. No disrespect to Consolidated, but Bomb20 sounds a lot more consistent in quality than the old Consolidated albums I used to own. shep. <<Consolidated made a distinct effort to produce intensely political groove-oriented music in the early nineties. Basically, their political slant can be described as far-left radical-vegan, anti-patriarchal and pro-feminist (if you'll permit the hyphens). My favorite Consolidated tracks use cut-and-paste sampling to make a political point by grabbing fragments of dialogue, sometimes from the enemy...using re-contextualization to make someone look foolish, which admitedly isn't totally fair, but can be great fun.>> xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx|......................
