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 the Ample Soul Physician has a resume that's as long, and ample, as his name. The Cincinnati producer is the main force behind the formidable Five Deez and he's manned the boards for such luminaries as Talib Kweli, J-Live, Lone Catalysts, and Black Star. Fat Jon's full-length solo debut, Wave Motion is a mellow, moody instrumental collection comprised of sleepy soul and downtempo funk. Flush with horns, strings, and keyboards, Fat Jon has worked this material over with a deft, deliberate touch. The beats are crisp but light, and the vibe is extremely laid-back. Wave Motion is a subtle and incredibly finely crafted album, but the first listen can be deceiving. One of the album's most notable qualities is how slowly it reveals itself with each listen; the heavy jazz inflections that seemed like pleasant background music at first grow warmer and resonate longer on the second listen, and then more so on the third. The more you play it, the more sophisticated and satisfying it gets. - All Music Guide |
