A veritable playground of rhythm.
-
We Say...
Befitting this project's functionalist history (the duo Coldcut originally used the DJ Food name when creating break records for scratch DJs), A Recipe for Disaster is crammed with exceptionally funky sampled beats. It's a veritable playground of rhythm, with each track showcasing a different approach to sampling and rhythm manipulation. Tracks like "Brass Neck" mine late-’60s funk and let the choicest loops play with minimal editing, while "Fungle Junk" finely chops and processes its source rhythm to transform it into drum and bass.

They Say...
Although More and Black's best works are scattered over endless singles, EPs, and compilation tracks, Recipe for Disaster proves they can pull an album off when they feel like it. Together with a handful of collaborators, the pair split their resources between funky instrumental hip-hop, drum'n'bass, turntable experiments, and armchair trip-hop, providing a good cross-section of the group's various styles. [The 2003 reissue includes the bonus track "Blim."]
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
