We Say...
Previously known for death-bed trip-hop and beats that felt like trudging through molasses, on USSR Life from the Other Side, Russian émigré DJ Vadim shakes his rigor mortis to produce one of the best underground hip-hop records ever. Vadim’s inventive approach to sound is still evident, however, and this album alludes to everything from the Stooges to John Cage’s prepared piano to Special Request’s “Salsa Smurph.” Vadim’s constructivist beats are blessed by such emissaries of the underground as Company Flow and Dilated Peoples, but the highlight is undoubtedly poetess Sarah Jones’ skewering of hip-hop sexism.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
