MH-201 Boom Bip & Doseone - Circle  A Birdcatcher in a no-piece suit and a Town Crier in the round, Circle is the critically acclaimed full-length from vocalist Doseone and producer Boom Bip. The New York Times has named Circle one of the "Top-Ten Worthwhile Albums of the Year" and the duo have been rewarded with over a dozen artist profiles including a feature in The Wire and nods to Doseone as Spin's "Incoming" and CMJ's "On the Verge" artist-of-the-month. A cohesive work of word and sound that ends where it begins and emulates the child within, Circle combines honest word and live instrumentation with an amalgam of sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties compositions. Doseone does it all, prose at light speed, in slow speak, and even bird calls. Circle is at once like everything and nothing before it - and what comes next will not be the same. |

| Between them, cLOUDDEAD have a work rate to shame a Nike employee in a Thai sweatshop. why? and odd nosdam have probably released yet another record in the time it's taken you to read this review, but Doseone has sneakily trumped his band mates by re-releasing this excellent record from 2000. Granted, Doseone's voice sounds at times like a scary pixie from hell, berating you about life insurance in a code you'll never comprehend. But he's also a poet, an artist and a gent, and Boom Bip has served him up weird-beats fit for a peculiar-king. It's not really hip-hop, either, so don't worry about that. - Muzik |
