MH-201 Boom Bip & Doseone - Circle  A Birdcatcher in a no-piece suit and a Town Crier in the round, Circle is the critically acclaimed full-length from vocalist Doseone and producer Boom Bip. The New York Times has named Circle one of the "Top-Ten Worthwhile Albums of the Year" and the duo have been rewarded with over a dozen artist profiles including a feature in The Wire and nods to Doseone as Spin's "Incoming" and CMJ's "On the Verge" artist-of-the-month. A cohesive work of word and sound that ends where it begins and emulates the child within, Circle combines honest word and live instrumentation with an amalgam of sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties compositions. Doseone does it all, prose at light speed, in slow speak, and even bird calls. Circle is at once like everything and nothing before it - and what comes next will not be the same. |

| Anticon's masterful poet Doseone teams up with producer Boom Bip, whose CV includes collaborations with men-of-the-moment Four Tet and Jamie Lidell, on this unique long player of experimental hip-hop. Doseone raps insanely over live instrumentation and assorted beats in his nasal, stream of consciousness way, with echoes of the Last Poets, the Residents, and Captain Beefheart. It's a wild, funny, often scary ride, but the most exhilarating ones always are. - The List |
