glitchy hip hop soul thingy...

Prefuse 73 - Surrounded By Silence
Scott Heren aka Prefuse 73 has always made these wonderfully strange hip hop influenced albums, full of little tunes which threaten to fall apart at any minute, and almost impossible to listen to in discrete sections. I've always thought that to fully appreciate his music you have to listen to his albums in one go rather than picking your favourite songs out, something that the iPod generation (and I'm counting myself in here too) find difficult to do. This album is still best appreciate in one sitting, but he has a new trick: lots and lots of collaborators, well over half of the tracks feature a helping hand from some other musicians, mind you he can still really screw wity your head when he wants to.
