Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
NY DJ Van Helden has described his second LP, Killing Puritans, as his "Sex Pistols" record. Generically "dance", he loads his tracks with a Rollins-like spleen and raw production that seems to kick against the complacency of Ecstasy culture. The record opens with a rant against the corporate machine and moves swiftly to The Scorpions sampling metal-dance of "Little Black Spiders" and meta-cool of "Breakdancers Call"--jazz solos, b-boy licks and Fatboy fills. His pace and breadth are fearless--from the Will Smith apeing block party of "Full Moon" (with rapper, "Common") to the low-end booty of "Hybridz" and apocalyptic preachers sampled from Central Park. The LP swells with classics--"Flyaway Love" detonates hellfire over an Ibizan disco-dream and finale "Conscience" howls with urban empathy. Backing a soaring blues from Wu-Tang's Takeitha with a ferociously ramped-up mix, Armand ends his LP with rave's "Inner City Blues". It's an extraordinary, unblushing work.
