Well to quote the album "the first hard core hip hop album with no beats"
it's basically loops and no beats lots of sitar, noise, ambient it's very mellow
and rather formless and 100% copyright free. it's like an album of the stuff
between songs.
I like it but can't listen to it all the time. I didn't read the liner notes and
waited 20minutes for beats then I came across the quote above......It's funny
that you thought Necropolis sucked and dead dreamer didn't, I always thought they
were the same album reorganized..........the new DJ Spooky is 'Synthetic Fury ep"
out now I guess as of the 10th.
