the lab review

LAB EXCLUSIVO SINGLE, only available at TTL Digital. The heavy sounds of Malcolm Catto's Heliocentrics get invaded by the rapid fire vocals of Percee P and NY's most valiant villian, MF Doom. The track is "Distant Star(1)" which takes the instrumental of the same name from their recent deep funk release, Out There. The combination of modern funk and hip hop is truly a unique hybrid. Don't think jazzamatazz, but more like think dirty rotten funk with articulate emceeing. Manic standup basslines drive the motor, as Malcom chops those beats like a madman, while Percee aggressively grabs each bar and MF sprays a coat of bad urban landscape. It's quite a ride. There's also a shorter "Strange Version," that just keeps the composition more straight forward. It also has all the essential instrumentals on the flip, including a awesome sitar version of the strange version and an unreleased jam, "Space Time Girl - Inst" So worth the download.
