Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
'One Word Extinguisher is an apposite title for the new Prefuse 73 LP. Anyone who experienced Scott Herren's debut, Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives, will already know about his unique approach to producing hip-hop, but if not, this follow-up is an even better place to check it. On his new joint, Herren excels once again at chewing up traditional beats and rhymes with his MPC and spitting them back out as quasi-cubist digital fragments, creating rapid-fire, neck-snapping snares and stuttering, karate-chop vocals. His technique makes for a highly original and slightly avant sound, though most of the genuinely breathtaking rhythm-and-verbal assaults here are tempered by a melodic fluidity that ensures cerebral stimulation as well as heavy head-nod action. Once again, Herren has straddled the worlds of glitch-beep electronica and hip-hop without missing a beat, and has ensured that he occupies a league of his own--one that has to be heard to be believed. --Paul Sullivan

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant classic, 11 Jun 2003
By A Customer
If you pick this up expecting to hear the traditional sounds of Warp records (Orbital, Aphex Twin, Nightmares on Wax, Jimi Tenor, Boards of Canada etc), you will be sorely disappointed, for this above all a hiphop album. But stop! Keep listening for you will be handsomely rewarded if your taste extends as widely as most fans of Warp. This is the first original and exciting album of 2003 and I say this well aware that many of you trip hop/ hip hop fans, like me, may have been deceived by many a false dawn in recent years with overhyped albums aplenty across all the laid-back genres in recent years. I share your disappointment with many feted albums of recent years which have never matched the wealth of quality albums of the mid-90s. But no, this album is worth a look. It is eclectic which will put off those who like their albums to flow, with a diverse set of tunes all squashed together in a sometimes disconcerting ebb and flow. But there are some truly inspired songs to be enjoyed start with no8 - it makes you go bombing if you're impatient for a tune that really grabs the attention and then the rest will fall into place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nu-school electro, 29 Mar 2005
By Demob Happy "jamesewan" (London / Grenoble) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Scott Herron's Prefuse 73 is a combination of Warp-label glitch and instrumental hip hop that has him adored by IDM merchants and headz alike. It is not nearly as abrasive and uncompromising as some writers would lead you to believe, but rather a heady mash up of new-school electro and (largely instrumental) hip hop that employs an arsenal of modern digital effects. There is much that is summery and sweetly melodic on One Word Extinguisher, but most of it has been put through the ringer of digital manipulation. Uprock and Invigorate, a collaboration with likeminded Dabyre, is a swaggering saunter complete with jazzy keyboards, squelching bass and cooing vocal snippets. '90% Of My Mind is With You' is the closest thing to a break-up song as you can get from filtered electronica, ending with a medley (or is it montage?) of lovelorn soul/Motown samples. 'Why I love You' sounds like a Beyoncé record stripped of the lead vocals and remixed by Boom Bip, while 'Choking You' again displays Herron's melancholic side. There is much else of note also, but like many hip-hop records this could do with some editing down, being as it is about 5 tracks too many, with a number of 'head-nodders' sounding overly alike. Nevertheless, an important artist reaching his peak.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh yes you want this, 6 Jan 2004
I must confess I made a bit of a leap into the unknown with this album. I am a serious fan of their label buddies Aphex Twin, but I knew before purchase that it would be vastly different. I was not disappointed. In this album this listener is presented with a mix of electronica, hip-hop, chilled synth, some really ecclectic sounds that I just can't categorize, and wierd vocal interludes. I think the best way to describe this would be some sort of thinking-man's DJ Shadow. When you have moved on in your taste, and listened to that genre to the extent you have had enough, then this would be a great advance. Its pretty chilled out, but provides some really interesting listening, rather than simply melting into the background. The album is hugely varied, with some dub-fuelled human beat-boxing going on, though its not as dark as something like Deadly Avenger.

I would thoroughly advise what is simply a very good album and a pleasure to listen to, plus the cover is nice!
