Reviews
- M.E.D: Classic
Produced almost entirely by Madlib, the man who turned Guilty Simpson into Noam Chomsky - Evidence: Cats & Dogs
Few albums go to such extraordinary lengths to please the listener as Evidence's brilliant new album. - Eskmo: Eskmo
Given the raw energy packed into this album, it would be to the surprise of many that the gears of Ninja Tune’s new signing started to tremble. - Baths: Cerulean
"We won’t be alone in watching Baths' next steps very closely." - Outkast: Aquemini
The album serves as a microcosm of Outkast's career; time and again proving that Andre 3000 and Big Boi can do just about anything, and do it right. - Madlib: Medicine Show Vol.6—The Brain Wreck Show
It’s been right in plain view during 2010: no musicians can do what Madlib is currently doing. - Flying Lotus – Los Angeles
Bow your head to the master of analogue seduction
