Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
'One Word Extinguisher is an apposite title for the new Prefuse 73 LP. Anyone who experienced Scott Herren's debut, Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives, will already know about his unique approach to producing hip-hop, but if not, this follow-up is an even better place to check it. On his new joint, Herren excels once again at chewing up traditional beats and rhymes with his MPC and spitting them back out as quasi-cubist digital fragments, creating rapid-fire, neck-snapping snares and stuttering, karate-chop vocals. His technique makes for a highly original and slightly avant sound, though most of the genuinely breathtaking rhythm-and-verbal assaults here are tempered by a melodic fluidity that ensures cerebral stimulation as well as heavy head-nod action. Once again, Herren has straddled the worlds of glitch-beep electronica and hip-hop without missing a beat, and has ensured that he occupies a league of his own--one that has to be heard to be believed. --Paul Sullivan
Chronique amazon.fr
On connaissait Scott Herren pour s'être distingué avec son projet d'electronica organique, Savath + Savalas, également sur Warp. C'est maintenant surtout sous l'appellation de Prefuse 73 qu'il va falloir rendre hommage à son talent. One Word Extinguisher, sa deuxième incarnation longue durée sous cette identité, reprend les choses là où l'excellent Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives (2001) les avait laissées. C'est-à-dire à la jonction entre hip-hop et electronica, matérialisée en une sorte d'expression rénovée de l'electro-funk qui rend également hommage aux influences hip-hop détournées par Autechre ou Funkstörung.
Dès le préambule, le son novateur, affûté par les recherches sonores de Herren, est parfaitement en place : blips, beats concassés, nappes ambient, motifs synthétiques vérolés et vocaux de guests tout en cuts, manipulés comme n'importe quel autre son… One Word Extinguisher affine néanmoins la vision de son géniteur dans sa volonté de déconstruire le rap pour mieux le reconstruire : ce nouvel opus hérissé de sons très divers s'apparente à une entrée dans le champ du concret des expérimentations précédemment échafaudées. De la théorie, on passe à la pratique. Comprendre que One Word Extinguisher est à la fois plus accessible sans céder aux sirènes de la facilité, plus franc sans perdre de sa bizarrerie, plus charnel sans être putassier. Quand, en plus, Herren aligne des plages plus méditatives à base de jazz ou de funk à mutation rapide, on comprend qu'il vient de gagner sur tous les tableaux avec une précision diabolique. --Fabrice Privé

IDM Hip Hop,
By
This review is from: One Word Extinguisher (Audio CD)
If there is something that proves hip hop can be a limitless, utterly compelling thing, this is it. Every bit as nuanced and produced as IDM electronic music, this takes pure hip hop elements, and filters them down through relentless breakbeats, and lovely electo textures. Attacking staight out of the box with the jazzed out turntablism of "The End of Biters- International" then segwaying into the contemporary hip hop of "Plastic", this more than any thing out there shows the heights this music can be taken to, and that's further than the eye can see. The utter attention to detail, and beauty can not only be admired, but enjoyed thoroughly. The entire record stays well within the lines of excellence, and is a real treat for anyone who loves the feel of either music (ie: hip hop, electronic). Prefuse 73 has an utterly precious musical proposal that will probally keep him away from mainstream acceptance, but virtually guarantees his ascension to greatness in both the hip hop, and electronic undergrounds, if he isn't there already.

Definitely Overrated.,

Frankly, I just got bored of this CD too quickly. After the first five tracks I felt like I was listening to the score from an early 90's video game. Given Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives, I am genuinely unimpressed.

This review is from: One Word Extinguisher (Audio CD)
must confess I made a bit of a leap into the unknown with this album. I am a serious fan of their label buddies Aphex Twin, but I knew before purchase that it would be vastly different. I was not disappointed. In this album this listener is presented with a mix of electronica, hip-hop, chilled synth, some really ecclectic sounds that I just can't categorize, and wierd vocal interludes. I think the best way to describe this would be some sort of thinking-man's DJ Shadow. When you have moved on in your taste, and listened to that genre to the extent you have had enough, then this would be a great advance. Its pretty chilled out, but provides some really interesting listening, rather than simply melting into the background. The album is hugely varied, with some dub-fuelled human beat-boxing going on, though its not as dark as something like Deadly Avenger.I would thoroughly advise what is simply a very good album and a pleasure to listen to, plus the cover is nice!
