MH-028 Busdriver - Avantcore "Avantcore," the lead single from Busdriver's new full-length release, Fear Of A Black Tangent is a comment on the state of hip-hop including the pompousness, pretension, simple-minded bickering, and internal politics that encompass the business at every level from indie to mainstream. The single also includes two bonus tracks from the full-length: "Happiness('s Unit Of Measurement)" and "Unemployed Black Astronaut." Three top shelf remixes are included on the B-Side as D-Styles of Invisbl Skratch Piklz fame, Warp's Prefuse 73, and Los Angeles producer Nobody take on one track each.

Trippy wordsmith Busdriver supports his new Fear of a Black Tangent LP with a six track single that'll delight and infuriate in equal measure. If you like cartoon-like beats and bugged out lunatic rap then this is right up your street. If however the mere mention of the word 'wacky' makes you shudder then this will get right on your tits. The B-Side remixes - from Prefuse 73, D-Styles and Nobody are worth checking whatever your persuasion though. - Undercover
