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
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".
