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. |

| It's no coincidence that Fat Jon the Ample Soul Physician's album cover recalls Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. With a jazz soul and a hip-hop body, Wave Motion takes its time in its explorations. Never moving far from the groove pocket, it has a Digable Planets feel taken down a few notches. Even though each cut leaves out the vocals and flows, the tracks don't feel sluggish or repetitive. Instead, they all move with a slow saunter, shaking a little funk here and some muffled horns there. In most hands, instrumental hip-hop would be DOA. This doctor performs wonders - he makes it sound as alive as any vocal hip-hop out there. - Relix |
