Great CD. Indian type music. Good beats. Does Madlib ever spin any beats that don't rock.
Vol. 3-4 sucked it was horrible i kept playing it over and over but just couldn't vibe to it. i mean couldn't even bob my head to that S**t worst beat konducta vol.5 is the best get 1-2 don't even think twice about 3-4 then get 5.
I'm not the deepest Lib fan, but have been able ta cop his work on the Madvillain project and the Quasimoto alum "The Unseen". Any madlib fan will definetly not be disappointed in this one. A mixture of that raw, street level head noddin' type stuff lib drops, along with the extremely odd but undeniably catchy beats to. This isn't quite like those two releases but brings sum of the same ideas with alot of differences also.You get alot of sitars, high-end strings, and organ and piano strolls(which remind me of sum West Coast stuff from 96 like "Masala"), plus Madlib's signature heavy bass and crazy procussions and odd movie samples(this time the majority of them are spoken in Hindi I believe. It's a good pick up for Lib fans, fans of hip-hop in general, and anybody lookin for a touch of something different.Overall- 97/100Dopest- Shah Sound, No Sitar, Main Title, Dark Alley.,Accordion for Raj, Indian Deli, Indian Hump, Get It Right, MasalaFalloffs- Dancing Girl's Theme
The snippiets of "Baliwood" Indian movie music only spice things up in a good, exotic way. Just wanted to say that I LOVE THIS CD. Ordinarily, the presence of any vocals at all tend to ruin instrumental CDs for me.but in this case, the presence of some vocals here and there do not detract from the excellence of these mystical dub-like beats. My favorite track is Track 2. Man, that's one powerfully mystical beat.but the whole CD is very good.
They both are a must for any Instru"mental" fan out there. I preordered the day before the release, 2 days later it was in the box waitin for me. I was as amped to check this modern day collage of beats, and soundscapes as much as the first Beat Konducta LP. If you havent yet got a copy I highly recommend it to any serious hip-hop fan.
