Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Prefuse 73, aka Scott Herren, wreaks digital havoc on slumbering rap fools. Last year he collaborated with a ton of friends and guests for Surrounded By Silence, a project that unfortunately seemed to collapse under its own weight. Now he’s back with the sparser, punchier Security Screenings, an album that’s being touted not as an official follow-up but merely a "transition".

Inspired by his treatment by airport security officials and the assorted traumas of an incessant international touring schedule in a post 9/11 world, Herren returns to his early period of diced-up hip hop beats and swirling melodies. Dark instrumentals represent black moods; distressed beats mirror nocturnal insanity and fragmented identities; dissonant horns describe the frustrations of long queues and even longer delays. It’s an abrasive outing and certainly moody in places but there’s enough sampled dialogue, alluring melody and futuristic beat science to keep the whole thing relatively buoyant.--Paul Sullivan

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but barely listenable, 22 Sep 2006
By Capster (London) - See all my reviews
Don't get me wrong, this isn't awful, but it is probably the weakest effort to date to come under Scott Heren's Prefuse 73.

It may interest and amuse you after a listen or two, but it's unlikely you'll be coming back for more for quite some time.

This certainly doesn't live up to previous releases such as Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives, One Word Extinguisher or Surrounded By Silence, which is a shame as I was really looking forward to this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Security Screenings Reviewed, 28 Feb 2006
By J. Carrick "Jonny C" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Prefuse73 seem to be hot right now with name checks, guest apearances and shouts all over the shop from people like Sa-Ra to Beans (previously A.P.C.)
Personally I found the album a bit disjointed and harsh. It has none of the subtle and endearing touches that lighten the broken beats of K Hebden's or Caribou's work. Some tracks are mashed up gems but as soon as they get going they are over. The interludes sounded forced and seemed pointless fillers.
On a positive tip tho, the beats are crashing and if you like your sounds on the rough side then you'll love this one.
