Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Comprised of ex-art teacher Jonathan More and computer programmer Matt Black, Coldcut have been active in the UK electronica scene since the heyday of Acid House in the mid-1980s: releasing the first UK "sampling" disc ("Hey Kids"), launching the careers of Yazz and Lisa Stansfield, and establishing a formidable reputation as producers and remixers. Their fourth album--and the first on their own Ninja Tune label--Let Us Play is at once as dizzyingly eclectic yet as consistent in tone as one would expect from these innovators. Who else would (or, for that matter, could) bring together guests as diverse as ex-Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, legendary funk drummer Bernard Purdie and poet Salena Saliva? Hardly surprising: in applying the cut-and-paste aesthetics of multimedia, Coldcut delight in collisions of form and meaning: "Timber," for example, is an audio-visual collage that manages to be both a protest song (campaigning for an end to industrial logging, and using footage supplied by Greenpeace) and a hypnotic dance track. Electronic music at its most intelligent. --Andrew McGuire

Mojo, September 1997
A bravura, genre straddling journey into sound. Scores of Collaborators feed multiple influences into their "Funkjazztical tricknology"

5.0 out of 5 stars A London Labyrinth favourite, 25 Mar 2000
By glyn.wilcox@freeuk.com (London Labyrinth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let Us Play! (Audio CD)
This is breathtaking at times. I like albums that immediately sound fresh and original but which also slowly reveal further layers.This has a wealth of ideas, subtle detail and inspired combinations of textures. Challenging but wholly listenable and thoroughly absorbing. Something of an overlooked masterpiece. This is listed on the London Labyrinth web site which features the best links for those who like electronic/sampling maestros such as these.

5.0 out of 5 stars electronic at its best, 12 Jan 2003
This review is from: Let Us Play! (Audio CD)
An artistic masterpiece! Poltically, socially, ecologically and technologically charged. Not for those looking for another elctro or trip-hop album, it is a reflection on the 90's. Incorporating electro, trip-hop, dance and ambience tracks each technically superior in terms of musical structure in their particular genres. Anyone who prides themself on their taste in music should be proud to add this to their collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars A weak album with one heavily redeeeming feature., 1 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Let Us Play! (Audio CD)
Being a huge fan of all things 'ninja', I was very disappointed with this album. Having enjoyed tracks from Coldcut on such compilations as Xen cuts, I was expecting something pretty special and found myself feeling wholely unfulfilled after listening to it. 'Timber', however, is a massively redeeming feature. Such a masterpiece of electronic wizzardry seems out of place in what is otherwise a pretty mediocre contribution. I would encourage any self-respecting music fan to add 'Timber' to their collection...without buying the Coldcut album.
