Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Listening to the first track of Beans's Shock City Maverick, "Light of the Damned," is like entering a vast city, an erotic, techno-fuelled city. Self-described as "the Ornette Coleman of this rap shit," Beans is the former MC/producer of the innovative and underappreciated '90s hip-hop group Anti-Pop Consortium. Shock City Maverick, his third and best solo project, finally--and so effortlessly--arrives at the icy techno state his previous projects struggled to reach. So thoroughly electric and synthetic are the tracks that when you hear the droning cello on the instrumental "A Force on Edge," it seems to be a 1000-year-old relic recovered by a team of urban archaeologists. There are no trees in Beans's future city, and the sky is the colour of a television tuned to a dead channel. --Charles Mudede


CD Description

On the heels of his solo debut, TOMORROW RIGHT NOW, the former Antipop Consortium lyricist Beans takes listeners on another journey through an oddball world of futuristic trip-hopover 13 eclectic tracks on SHOCK CITY MAVERICK. With no samples, no guest appearances, and an assortment of techno-inspired beatscapes, SHOCK CITY MAVERICK is an inspired exercisein unconventional hip-hop. The hypnotic "I'll Melt You" sees Beans opening a fierce three-minute verbal onslaught by proclaiming himself "the Ornette Coleman of this rap shit" as well as "the link between Suicide, Sun Ra, and Bambaataa".

5.0 out of 5 stars Just bloomin' wonderful. Honestly it is., 25 Aug 2006
By Andy Raab (Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
This album literally made all my hairs stand on end from start to finish... Beginning, continuing and ending with such an impact that I had to listen to it again, and again, and again.... With tracks such as Papercut, Blind Driver and my personal favourite - Diamond Halo Grenade I can't tell enough people to own this album. The other review here does enough to explain Beans' technical proficiencies, but just in case you need another opinion.........BUY IT. And cherish every last second of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beans  Shock City Maverick, 12 Jan 2005
Beans, one third of the ground-breaking hip hop outfit Anti-Pop Consortium releases this, his second album. Having originated from a group who pioneered what can only be described as electro hip hop, Beans strives to build upon his achievements and successes and does so incredibly well, enhancing the sound and making it his own. This album is a wealth of creativity, and well worth the late review. In fact, you would be hard pushed to hear anything else quite like this. Standout tracks are 'Down by Law' and 'Blind Driver'.
