The Main Event

What a filthy record! I’m gonna be honest with ya, chopped-up hip-hop with a funked-up groove ain’t really my thang, but this is beautifully big and dark with clever usage of some unusual spoken-word samples. Tracks like ‘Big Monsters Crush Cities’ and ‘How To Smoke’ (featuring DJ Noise who also guests on several other numbers) are trippily groovy offerings, the former featuring a chilling double bass loop, while ‘Remember This’ displays a nice line in outright cheek. ‘Slippin’’is also worthy of mention, mainly due to Veba’s vocal contribution.

Fingathing is Peter Parker and Sneaky, aided and abetted by Mr Scruff and the folks mentioned above, and they’re doing something right, but ultimately I’m distracted by the scratching and cuts. Maybe I’m just lazy, hey, maybe it sounds like your kind of fingerthing.
