MH-211 Curse Ov Dialect - Lost In The Real Sky  Not content with recycling the same old beats and rhymes, Curse Ov Dialect reach for the next level by reinterpreting sounds from all eras and arenas into unique sonic collages with a hyper edge and extreme bounce. Their Mush debut, Lost In The Real Sky is an eighteen track introduction to their sound. Blending political raps written with the skill of a multi-cultural Public Enemy, a punk-rock aesthetic, and production that balances melodic samples and classic drums with world class turntablism, their focus is clearly on music as avant-garde hip-hop opera. From the playful opening snaps of "Baby How?" through the old world groove of "Multicultural Markets" to the darkness of "Water Thicker Than Blood," Lost In The Real Sky is an impressive debut from a unique and challenging new group. |

| "Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Maltese-Australian! Jah Love and I and Vulk representing Coke-a-Cola." "Comical creatures in killi kookoo capers, vapors and papers for the corporate masses." "It spread to Melanesia straight to the Kanakas who wiped it off their back and didn't eat at Macca's." These are not the kind of lyrics anyone, even the most tripped-out underground head, expects from a hip-hop record. But those are precisely the lyrics that Curse ov Dialect, a twisted crew - straight outta Melbourne, Australia - deliver. And those lines are some of the more easily discernable ones. Often, the styles of this multi-member group are so red-level weird that they're simply force your brain into shutdown mode. Any weaknesses are more than compensated for by a production ethic that's just as invigoratingly iconoclastic as the lyrical style. Righteous, informed and totally bugged-out, Curse ov Dialect are about as unique as you can handle. - Orlando Weekly |
