Two men, whose names I couldn't pronounce and am not gonna type, produce some beats as smooth as Jell-O. I don't really know what downtempo is, but I'm sure I've had it explained to me and no doubt heard it before, but enough with the labels. This is ostensibly hip-hop in the same way that Dj Krush or Thievery Corporation is and sounds a little like Headset or Daedelus save for the uber-electro glitches. Upon further research, a neutrino turns out to not be a duo at all but any of three electrically neutral subatomic particles (any of various units of matter below the size of an atom, including the elementary particles and hadrons) in the lepton family. None of which explains the tasteful beats on here. Not plain, but unorchestrated, uncluttered. Each track repeats itself numerous times, but it doesn't get tired. And this really turns out to be a relaxing album. Hand drums make a casual, but integral appearance on "Mood-D." The organics and even slight psychedelics that they bring are counter-acted a few tracks later with "GP'" and its electro produced drums. Just tasty licks. Find it and pop it in. - Clamor |
