Title: a spotty but good journey into abstract hip-hop
Review: this double-disc shows just how odd hip-hop can get. possessed of few vocal tracks, the songs on this album are at once dub, hip-hop, and techno. disc one rnages from Bill Laswell and DXT's illbience to EYE's offbeat collage. disc two goes from the turntable mastery of Disk to more by Laswell, Buckethead, and Praxis. if you like hip hop, but mainstream leaves you empty, check out VALIS II. if you find it, VALIS I is also worth it.
