The Heliocentrics is a new Malcolm Catto project on Stones Throw. It is a trippy album fueled by outstanding musicianship. Lots of meandering, discord, and electronics afloat in an ocean of reverb. At times the melody takes a distant back seat to the relentless rhythm and free compositions, but The Drummer really delivers. Some of the sampled vocals come across as cheesy to me, reminding me of that 'Presage' turntablist album from the late 90s, but don't let that stop you. This is great headphone music.
Out on the 25th, and it looks like they will be putting out a series of 12"s with rappers. My money is on Percee P being the one to get.
