Title: Immature, incohesive
Review: I caught DJ Spooky while in DC last fall. The show was fairly entertaining, so I figured I'd give Riddim Warfare a try. In general I'm not huge fan of hip hop, but do listen to a fair amount of electronica, trip hop, ambient, etc. In general I feel this album falls short compared to European counterparts such as Tricky, although I'm not sure this a fair comparison. DJ Spooky is not as intelligent as he wants you think he his. Many of his ramblings make no sense to me what so ever. Plus there are just to many Atari samples. Seriously I think there should be a limit on the number of Space Invader samples per recording -- 2 or 3 sounds good. I believe Atari could make a case for claiming royalties from this album. I found this work pretty immature.
Is the review positive or negative?
