5.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, Sep 26 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Necropolis: Dialogic Project (Audio CD)

This album is an exploration of sound that tantilates the senses and aroses the mind. It expresses thought and rythem in bizarre ways creating a texture of sound that is not easily appriciated by your average music lover. Like a fine wine this album is not for everyone. If your a raver club kiddy looking for something new to bounce to this is not the album for you. If you want an album you can space out to one your commute or just want to sit down and listen intently to all the aspect of this music this is the album for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars DJ Spooky, SPOOKED ME!..., Sep 20 2002

This review is from: Necropolis: Dialogic Project (Audio CD)

I gave this album one star because ZERO wasn't an option! This is the first & only album I've heard from this DJ. I made a HORRIBLE mistake. I purchased this album after reading reviews that Spooky's music was "tight." I wanted to check him out for myself. Hey, I'm into experimental music, but there's got to be a limit. Only about three songs of this entire CD have a distinguishable beat. I loved the movie "Groove," I can get down to a spinning dryer and the sound of a zipper as it hits the side, slides, tumbles and then hits the side again. That ROCKS! Necropolis, however, does not. It doesn't flow and there is no rhythm. It's a BAD acid trip! There are some cool sounds. For example, the clicking sound of a train-car running over the tracks & some spacey taser, zapping type noises. If you wanted to sample these sounds and incorporate them into an actual song, then this CD is for you. These sounds do not stand on their own. Therefore, listening to this CD was not enjoyable in my opinion. I may give Spooky another chance, but he's off to a bad start with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky pushes the music, April 23 2001

This review is from: Necropolis: Dialogic Project (Audio CD)

This was originally released in 1996 along with his solo project "Songs of a Dead Dreamer". 1995 and 1996 were big years for the NYC illbient/dub/ambient scene, and this mix CD reflects that. Mad tracks by other leading illbient artists are included, such as Byzar, Subdub, abstract junglist DJ Soulsinger, and WE (Quark Soup is one of the dopest dub tracks I have ever heard). The album is very abstract and is hard to swallow for some, the first two tracks sound like noise to the untrained ear, understandably. But Dj Spooky's theory is Abstraction, or a Stream of Consciousness, as he defines it. Its all done on purpose, before he drops his own remix of Ben Neill's "Sistrum" (Grapheme)and gets the album started. But personally I feel Zvona the most, I dont know what language it is in (perhaps Hungarian?), but this track defines this album as "illbient" - in that Spooky is unafraid to utilize anything to maintain the Stream of Consciousness. This is a REAL Dj mix and nothing else by Sasha or whatever can even compare to it; its all about artcore.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for First-time Listeners of Spooky or Electronic Music
Uh, no. A mix-CD of things that Spooky digs, with some remixing here and there. I had to listen to it a few times to find 1 song that I could listen to more than twice. Read more
