MH-205 Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Wave Motion  Wave Motion, the first full-length instrumental release from Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician of The Five Deez, explores the deeper side of instrumental hip-hop. Using mature production and seductive jazz samples, Jon has created a truly notable record. Taking equal inspiration from 60's Kind Of Blue jazz and 70's Innervisions soul, Jon has crafted a release that chooses understated melodies and chord changes over cheap thrill loops and scratches. It is the work of someone who has spent years in the studio; it is the work of someone who has created thousands of tracks. Wave Motion is Fat Jon's finest work to date and a solid addition to the Mush catalog. |

| Laying down beats this smooth should require a knife and a slice of bread. Fat Jon, the rhythmic wizard behind the Five Deez, serves up eleven hits of hot-buttered instrumental soul on Wave Motion, bringing with his funky beats a cliché-free jazziness. "1975" reduces James Brown and Stevie Wonder into a tangy, albeit brief, funk gumbo, while "Depths" sounds like pianist Ramsey Lewis at his most introspective backed by Bomb Squad-style beats and wack samples. Fat Jon should have dropped this fusion bomb sooner, since it would have leveled the instrumental hip-hop playing field... fast. - Alternative Press |
