MH-211 Curse Ov Dialect - Lost In The Real Sky  Not content with recycling the same old beats and rhymes, Curse Ov Dialect reach for the next level by reinterpreting sounds from all eras and arenas into unique sonic collages with a hyper edge and extreme bounce. Their Mush debut, Lost In The Real Sky is an eighteen track introduction to their sound. Blending political raps written with the skill of a multi-cultural Public Enemy, a punk-rock aesthetic, and production that balances melodic samples and classic drums with world class turntablism, their focus is clearly on music as avant-garde hip-hop opera. From the playful opening snaps of "Baby How?" through the old world groove of "Multicultural Markets" to the darkness of "Water Thicker Than Blood," Lost In The Real Sky is an impressive debut from a unique and challenging new group. |

| Where do I start? If it's on Mush Records, it's left-field like Barry Bonds. Is political, Anticon influenced rap with Australian accents left enough for you? The production is adventurous in terms of sampling (read: anything under the fucking sun), and often engaging. and even though my heart pumps 25% Aussie blood, I don't catch a lot of the rhymes. The cadences of the emcees is an issue for me but if your system is Doseone-friendly it may be all good for you. My favorite track is "Family Assorted" for the ill loop alone. I also quite like the instrumental "The Fall of Houlihan," an ode to an injured rugby player if I understand correctly. I don't know if I'm the one to recommend this album but I'm not going to deny it was interesting either. - Thick |
