Beans: Only

[9.Jun.06] :. Like many previous attempts to mine similar territory, this meeting between Beans' avant-garde hip-hop and William Parker and Hamid Drake's avant-garde jazz is not the groundbreaking mash-up that it aspires to be.

Living Colour: Everything Is Possible: The Very Best of Living Colour

[21.Apr.06] :. With a track list so skewed in favor of the band's first two records, the savvy consumer might do better to pick up Vivid and Time's Up and call their Living Colour collection complete.

Music

Prince: 3121

[30.Mar.06] :. Many of the classic elements of a Prince record are here, but it also feels considerably safer -- like a poorly concealed attempt to recapture past glories at the expense of his wilder creative muse.

Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit: Secret Rhythms 2

[16.Mar.06] :. Channeling the spirits of Augustus Pablo and Can certainly isn't the worst musical concept to attempt, and Friedman and Liebezeit do a credible job of making it work.
