MH-205 Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Wave Motion  Wave Motion, the first full-length instrumental release from Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician of The Five Deez, explores the deeper side of instrumental hip-hop. Using mature production and seductive jazz samples, Jon has created a truly notable record. Taking equal inspiration from 60's Kind Of Blue jazz and 70's Innervisions soul, Jon has crafted a release that chooses understated melodies and chord changes over cheap thrill loops and scratches. It is the work of someone who has spent years in the studio; it is the work of someone who has created thousands of tracks. Wave Motion is Fat Jon's finest work to date and a solid addition to the Mush catalog. |

| Fat Jon's first solo instrumental release will have you swearing you've heard quite a few of these particles of sound somewhere before. Not at all unlike primo Miles Davis, Fat Jon's mixture of classic jazz and vintage soul will make you pine for those old records accumulating dust in your garage. A few hundred years in various recording studios have made Fat Jon the master of often minimal, and elegant sampling. It also lent him an ear for actual chord changes in a genre where quite a few producers simply pile on the noise, saying that their music is in homage to the Bomb Squad. All twelve songs stand quite well on their own, and never feel like gratuitous sampling. - Crud |
