Runaways - "The Tale of Punky Wisdom"
(Ultimate Dilemma)
The Runaways are better known as
A.J. and Joe 2000, a.ka. Mo' Wax recording
artists RPM. "The Tale of Punky Wisdom" is
the first single from their new album
"Classic Tales", which I'll have to pick up
after hearing this. .
The a-side starts with a nice synth
line, cut-up beats and vocal, and some
scratching, all with a chilled feel. This track
is pretty dense with the Runaways busting
out samplers, decks and live instruments,
and I love it. It doesn't devolve into mayhem
with a lack of rhythm or melody, this track is
melodic as shit.
A 2, "Metropolis" is composed of
some urban ambience, a hip-hop beat and
some really prominent violins or celloes
(sp?) or something, some synths, blips, and
an uptempo feel. Still, not as dense as
"Punky Wisdom".
The flip is basically electro mixes of
the a, but they work just as good as the
original. Had a great time mixing the electro
remix of "Punky Wisdom" with "Looking For
the Perfect Beat". :)
This is UD012, I think. Anyone with any
more recent Ultimate Dilemma releases
want to step up with some reviews?
