"DJ KRUSH rules out in this wonderful compilation. The beats sinks the listener in a special and dark atmosphere. If you like Dj Shadow you will enjoy Krush."

Redefining the Hip in hip hop

"1999's KI-OKU proved DJ Krush's musical sophistication had far more substance than the pack of acid jazz and chill out posers who were grabbing the cash and disappearing with the next flavor-of-the-month product."Message at the Depth" combines that musical inspiration with a burning message. If you liked the jazz tinged tracks on KI-OKU, "The Lost Voices" (with Sly and Robbie doing a lot more than just getting name checked) and "But the World Moves On" satisfy the promise of that earlier work. "Trihedron" makes d'n'b sound as fresh as if it hadn't happened yet. The hard electronica elements on this CD give it a solid edge that holds up under repeat listens. Add articulate lyrics that aspire to inspire to something more than a party - "Alehevo(truthspeaking)" achieves that all too rare miracle of speaking hard truth without preaching - and you have a CD that holds up to repeat play like few recent releases are capable of.Subtle, sophisticated, hard edged, powerful, and recommended.DJ Shadow may get the press, but DJ Krush is creating a body of work that can outlast the fads."
