Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Herbaliser masterminds Jake Wheery and Ollie Teeba consider Something Wicked This Way Comes to be the highlight of their career, and with good reason. The duo has been crafting a blend of jazz laced hip-hop and club grooves since they formed the ever changing and expanding Herbaliser collective in 1995. Now on their fourth album they've combined their formidable studio know-how with the live instrumentation utilised in their electrifying performances.

Collaborators include their homemade horn section the Easy Access Orchestra, Iriscience of west coast underground supremoes Dilated Peoples, Phi Life Cypher and Wildflower the tough, tender newcomer from Harlesden in Northwest London. Each brings a striking individuality to their tracks, ably nurtured by the production duos blend of psychedelic soul, tough funk, deep grooves and strong melodies. Wicked but wonderful. --Gavin Martin

The Independent On Sunday

The tastiest blend of the Herbs yet."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Herbaliser return to top form, 26 Feb 2002

By	Dick Dashwood (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

Their last album, Very Mercenary, was good yet didn't reach the heights of Blow Your Headphones, so it's great to hear that Something Wicked is a step forward. There seem now to be two distinct sides to The Herbaliser: phat-beated hip-hop and full-on live band jazz-funk workouts. This works well to keep you interested all the way through the album.

Though there's no-one to match What What (on Blow Your Headphones) here, the UK MCs acquit themselves very well. These are great times for UK hip-hop, so it's only right that The Herbaliser employs some the best of British MCs on this album. Blade stands out in particular on Time 2 Build.

The instrumental tracks are great too. It's the sound of an ultra-tight band twanging the bass and blowing their horns for all they're worth. Jay Kay would probably kill for it.

All in all a fantastic party album full of juggernaut beats, quirky samples and big band bombast that'll keep you listening for some time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Herbaliser do it again - only better!, 25 Oct 2002

By	The Happy Prince (UK) - See all my reviews

This is by far the best Herbaliser album so far. Whilst I agree that Blow Your Headphones was a classic, it now seems a little dated.

All tracks on Something Wicked are fresh and intense. I especially like Distinguished Jamaican English and Blade's Time to Build. The samples are wicked also - check out The Hard Stuff for the funniest sample ever.

Just awesome - if you like the Ninja Tune Label and The Herbaliser you should definitely check this album out.

Judging by some of these reviews, 'Something Wicked...' doesn't appeal to a certain type of Herbaliser fan. In my opinion, the closed-minded ones. Read more
