Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ape Sounds is the debut LP from Japan's Nigo, best known for his clothing label Bathing Ape--a cult product dripping with "Planet of The Apes" motifs and celebrated status as a hyper-cool brand. Not a regular musician, Nigo performs an art director's role (although he plays drums) on the album--guiding a creative team of Lavelle, DJ Kudo, Money Mark, Ben Lee, Cornelius and Takagi Ken (Major Force). The result is (at times) a self-consciously cool mix of punk, trip hop and knowing adult pop. Some of it's fun--"Kung Fu Fighting" combines laconic Japanese rap with a neatly orchestrated remake of a Bruce Lee soundtrack. Ben Lee's contribution "Free Diving" is breathlessly fantastic--a wry and urbane vocal walking smoothly over an explosive, pop-rock thrashout. Also good is "The Very Urgent Dub" where Money Mark brings sass to a Pablo and Maurizio referencing stoner anthem. Some cuts feel vague but whatever Nigo lacks in expression he more than compensates for with style.--Tony Marcus

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly brillantly beautiful !, 26 Sep 2000

By A Customer

When I first listened to this Album, I thought great another let down. I left it for thirty mins or so and tried it again. This time it was different. From the subliminally catchy Simple song that one just cant help singing along to, to the deeply moody bass on monster. Freediving is just a brillant original track Too much's beautiful female voice is hypnotising Along then come a track reminiscent of the Sex Pistols. The scratch perverts do a wicked job on March of the general, even if you do not like hip hop, you'll like this. This Album has great Longevity, hey it's even got some samples from Planet of the Apes, and you can't go wrong there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent, 14 Feb 2001

By A Customer

WOW, this album is a must have. It is so laid back but yet loud, and since its on the Mo Wax lable you just know its good. I like this because it is something i can listen to anytime of the day or night, with big beats and mellow sound. Real nice, this is the music you want to listen to on the train from your way into work and back from Dublin City (you would understand if your from dublin).

A real Must have. buy it
