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. |

| Fat Jon, from the Five Deez, comes out with his first solo instrumental release. Wave Motion seems to strike a deja vu like effect as you listen through the wide spread album. You swear you have heard bits of pieces all over the place in old jazz, fusion, or hip-hop. Similar to the old Miles Davis, Fat Jon mixes classic jazz, vintage soul and a little bit of attitude to brew up a nice set of downbeat chillout beats. Countless years in recording studios has made Fat Jon quite an expert at that minimal, full sounding elegant slice and dice sampling. Years in the studio have also let Jon discover chord changes, tunage and class in the way the tracks were compiled. A lot is always going on in any of these twelve songs, but they all stand quite well on their own, and never feel like gratuitous sampling. - Trickler |
