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. |

| Like vegemite, the debut from Aussie hip-hop collective Curse ov Dialect is an acquired taste. Lost in the Real Sky opens with the Prefuse-esque "Baby How?" and takes off from there with an amalgam of sharp rhymes, unique flows, and challenging production by DJ Paso Bionic and all four emcees. Of the latter, Vulk Makedonski stands out from the pack as Australia's answer to Ad-Rock. Curse ov Dialect cover a lot of ground, from the quirky carnival vibe of "Multicultural Markets" to the politically-minded "All Cultures" and "The Truth About Tasmania." The most impressive track, however, is "Family Assorted" the posse cut to end all posse cuts, on which eleven emcees pass the mic over nine minutes of beat-morphing madness. At over seventy minutes, Lost in the Real Sky isn't always easy going, but it's nice to see acts pushing the limits instead of resting passively within them. - Exclaim! |
