When Jazz had an affair with Hip-Hop, April 19 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Mad Blunted Jazz (Audio CD)
I'm a fan of some of Cam's stuff and always loved the more jazzier element to his work, this album fuses those fat hip-hop beats with gracefull chilled out jazz. I would say that this album is the enbodyment of everything that is cool about Cam. It's like the sort of thing that you would hear in an uber-sheek celeb hang out. Buy this album and show off to your mates how you only listen to music that is quite simply splended.Nuff said.

Good intro to DJ Cam if you can't get "Substances"., Jan 27 2004
This review is from: Mad Blunted Jazz (Audio CD)
This music is DJ Cams first complete body of original work, and to date one of his best. If intramental hip-hop needed a 101 course Mad Blunted Jazz is a great primer. Yes there's scrathing and sampling but it's put together with care and imagination, with little crassness simply for the sake of it. The best part of this set is the second cd with the live set. Here DJ Cam shows that his talent and this genre are more than just a "bag of tricks". To pull off a live show in this genre is challenging to be certain but DJ Cam gives us a flawless show almost it seems without breaking a sweat. A solid introduction to one of Paris and the worlds talented DJ.

honestly, one of the finest collections i've ever heard, Jan 9 2003
This review is from: Mad Blunted Jazz (Audio CD)
I have been buying music for years now, everything from sublime to aphex twin, I can honestly say, this is probably one of the finest pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I own all of Dj Cam's albums, and this one is the best, IMO. Phat Hip-Hop beats laced with jazzier-than-jazz horns and strings, and voice samples of sexy french girls. On track 10 you may recognize the sample, Lady Kier of Deee-light. The question isn't why should you buy it, the question is why shouldn't you buy it. It's that good.
