Some jazzy "Verve" sampler.

a whole lot of Mos Def. his hip-hop and other work. It's good to hear a hip-hop artist that can actually sing, one who mixes it in with the rap. He did a pretty good track with Charlie Hunter titled "Creole." he's a pretty good actor too.

CD / STORM BUGS / Let's Go Outside and Get It Over / Snatch Tapes
Storm Bugs are an anomaly. How could such sounds, radically challenging the accepted texture of electronic music, have been recorded over 20 years ago? And how come nobody has ever heard of them? The tracks on Let's Go Outside and Get It Over, originally released by Snatch Tapes on cassettes and vinyl between 1978 and 1981, exhibit Storm Bugs' spacious, reverberating grittiness. Howled vocals shift from front to background in the midst of industrial pounding percussion loops, urgent echoing monotones and an array of tinny sound effects. The quiet moments on these songs are underlayed by disturbing mechanical creeks and muted primal thuds that evoke the cynical futurism of Fritz Lang or George Orwell. As complex and foreign as much of these recordings sound, the hand-made, DIY ethic of the group's production is distinctly present. Philip Sanderson and Steven Ball, who made up Storm Bugs, must have taken immense pleasure in screwing around with the recording process. From scalpelling vinyl to messing with short wave radio signals from the Soviet Union, these guys hardly ever did anything twice, yet still managed to create a defining and genuine aesthetic in their music. Their relatively recent appearance on the compilation I Hate the Pop Group probably accounts for some newfound appreciation of Storm Bugs and the consequential release of this CD only, digitally remastered work. Limited to 300 copies, this is not a record you want to wait for the last minute to pick up. For Pete's sake, don't sleep on: 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10
