The new Kool Keith album "Black Elvis/Lost in Space" is reportedly produced by him, though it does sound similar to Dr. Octagon -- maybe a bit more electro and less hip-hop. And dig the track titles: Supergalactic Lover, I'm Seein' Robots, Keith Turbo, Rockets on the Battlefield. Here's some quotes from an interview... "I'm the opposite guy who's gonna make it happen. I'll make red go with purple." -- Kool Keith Kool Keith says he decided to "kill" Dr. Octagon after "the whole circumference of the project became a nightmare," but an equally significant explanation was his need to move on. "I'm against the norm," he says. "I get off on being different." For Black Elvis, Kool Keith had even more creative control than on his previous recordings. "All the other albums -- the Dr. Octagon thing, the Kool Keith solo joint and even the Ultramagnetics -- were just other people's things that I rapped on," he had said previously, referring to the producers who laid down the beats for those albums -- the Automator, Kut Masta Kurt and Ced Gee. "This [new album] is all me. I did the drum programming, a little keyboards, almost everything. It's all Black Elvis." .John.
