MH-223 Thavius Beck - Decomposition  The sprawling arrangements on Thavius Beck's Mush debut, Decomposition burrow into the listeners brain with a mix of melodic samples, chopped breaks, pulsating synths, and head-swirling delay, then morph into genre-bending sound paintings adorned with hallucinogenic vocal samples. Four vocal tracks, "Open Your F*@!ing Eyes" (featuring vocals by Thavius Beck himself), "June Gloom" (vocals by Subtitle), "Amongst the Shadows" (vocals by Cedric Bixler-Zavala of Mars Volta), and "Demons of Destruction" (vocals by Longevity of Darkleaf) find homes among instrumental tracks that are as densely layered and expertly crafted as is found in modern electronic music. Decomposition is a work worthy of extended headphone listening. |

| Also known as Adlib, this programmer/engineer/multi-instumentalist has guested on recent releases from Omid and Freestyle Fellowship. Decomposition sounds like ambient, sample-driven electronica that could be the soundtrack to a drug-fueled bender at a video arcade. The album is worth it for "Amongst the Shadows" which features a cameo from the Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala. - Alternative Press |
