Synopsis

Album Description
The world's first human beatbox compilation. The fine art of Beatboxing finally gets its due on this amazing 13-track comp featuring some of the biggest names in this under-rated element of hip hop. The use of human voices as musical instruments is becoming ever popular. Bjork's record Medulla features her singing over percussive beats created by some of today's masters of human beatboxing, including Japan's Dokaka, the UK's Shlomo, and former Roots member Rahzel. In addition to it's unique voice-based backdrops, the album features stunning vocal collaborations with an eclectic roster of performers including Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton, Inuit throat singer Tagaq, classical singer/human trombonist Gregory Purnhagen (Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars), legendary art-rock legend Robert Wyatt, plus the Icelandic Choir and the London Choir.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Finally an album about beatboxing. I recommend it for creative inspiration. Goes to show you that you can do anything with a 4 track and imagination. This is not an album for those who love the smooth over produced studio sound of the current hip hop. This album is not perfect and it's not because it's a produced pop tart deal. It's because true creativity has rough patches."
