Amazon.com In the annals of pop reinvention, there can have been few sonic makeovers more complete and unexpected than the one executed here. With Dust, DJ Muggs, the beat-maker behind the crisp, dusty sound of Cypress Hill, proves that he's not limited to beats and rhymes. Dust is an atmospheric tour de force that doesn't just come from left field, it breaks through the outfield wall. "I Know" begins with wispy fuzztone guitar sprawling across playground sounds. The beat slouches like Yeats's beast making for Bethlehem, while the breathy female vocal is jarringly angular. "Rain" is countrified psych-rock, while "Faded" is airy. "Gone for Good," featuring Everlast, is the only thing on the album that fits Muggs's track record. Lawrence Muggerud's wandering ear and eccentric muse, as heard here, rivals those of the more lauded likes of Beck, Tricky, and Prince. --Angus Batey Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews'Cypress Hill' Only Hinted at His Potential..... fetish_2000 | U.K. | 01/20/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Having already having been recognised as amongst the elite of Hip-Hop Producers/Dj's........as well as the Driving force behind "Cypress Hill". Dj Muggs takes time out from Cypress Hill to take another stab at the lucrative `Electronica' market. (After having co-produced on 1999's "Tricky's - Juxtapose" album. But although rather than merely retreading the Dark, menacing sound of their previous collaborative effort....Mugg's chooses to create an album that is equal parts "Portishead"/"Pink Floyd"/"Tricky" & "Dj Shadow" to jaw Dropping effect. Muggs never sticks to one style of music throughout the album, choosing instead to mix skilfully & seamlessly between all of the previously mentioned artists....yet always approaching from a fresh angle, as opposed to being an inferior imitation. By bringing in guest vocalist's ("Buckcherry's" - Josh Todd / the Afghan Whigs' - Greg Dulli & rapper "Everlast" plus several female vocalists), Muggs creates a woozy, nocturnal, seductive slow burner that has both its feet firmly entrenched in late-night consumption. Track two "Rain" shimmers & hypnotizes with it's bleak sonic soundscapes that are not too dissimilar to "Portishead", and track seven "Tears" is a brooding electronic highlight that pounds away with a eerie female vocal track combined to staggering effect. Muggs accomplishes a great deal with this album, and despite the fact that this album feels positively exclusive to late night listening, this is undoubtedly the best `Paranoia-inspired' Electronica album to be produced since "Tricky's" effort." Screw Haters OKIS | chi-kill | 03/10/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "this album is fresh as hell. very unexpected. dont let the music snob below over analyze this one on ya. its a sleeper for sure.
trust me. its more than worth the effort to at least listen to." |
