Product Description
From Amazon.com
Drawing on their many musical obsessions, Black Rock Coalition founders Vernon (Living Colour) Reid and DJ Logic have teamed up to present a very potent blend of hip-hop, electronica, circus music, blues and soul, dub reggae, and, as is to be expected, full-tilt rock & roll. Front End Lifter offers a fresh set of eclectic vibes that will especially please folks who long for a return to progressiveness on the dance floor. Songs such as the "Secret Agent Man"-like "Ponk" and the African-inflected "Tenemental" explore the trip-hop end of the spectrum, while "Bamalamb," driven by a gritty harmonica riff, mines the '70s blaxploitation era for inspiration. New York underground performer Latasha N. Diggs weaves her sexy vocals through the blistering "Psychopathia Mojosexualis," while the all-star cast of Prince Paul, Slick Rick, Corey Glover, and BRC stalwart Greg Tate add major flavor to the goofy "6996 (Club Yohimbe)," a tune that plays as a satisfying combination of both Digital Underground's "Doowutchyalike" and "Humpty Dance." --Rebecca Levine
Album Description
Guest appearances by Prince Paul, Slick Rick and all original members of seminal rock band Living Color. Slipcase. 2002.

this ain't about the, ahem, wankery people!,

This review is from: Front End Lifter (Audio CD)
in a word: awesome. in a couple of other words, if you are expecting a rock guitarist's album with a turntableist thrown in as window dressing, you will surely be mistaken.if you are looking for an album that is nearly always interesting, never boring, and is sometimes quite funny, you should pick up "front end lifter". this is the surprise of the year for me. the things that these two cats can do with their instruments is amazing.

Can't Believe Someone Actually Financed This Release,
By
This review is from: Front End Lifter (Audio CD)
Music is a very subjective thing, and my fellow Arlingtonite liked this release, but I thought it was horrible. The editorial review mentions "blues and soul" and "rock." This cd has none of those, and I mean NONE. I love Vernon Reid and Living Colour, too, which is the only reason I took a chance on this release, and you wouldn't even know he is even on it. You can barely hear any guitar. If you like techno, then you may like this, if you like Vernon Reid, don't even bother. This is a complete waste of cd space.
