Prefuse 73: Security Screenings

CML call number: CD/RAP & HIP-HOP/Prefuse
Ben Ratliff wrote in the New York Times: "Guillermo Scott Herren, a producer, uses the name Prefuse 73 when he wants to make surreal hip-hop. 'Security Screenings' (Warp) sounds as if it was made with a series of quick and deep strokes: it's a game of dream juxtapositions, but all the parts are well connected. Guitar, twinkling synth arpeggios, background tapes of talking and laughter, jazz-record samples, James Brown beats: Mr. Herren slices them all up mercilessly, making a different background for every single beat. What comes out is reconstituted, crazily hybrid, but still manages to flow; he doesn't abandon funk" ("Playlist," 2/19/06).
I haven't heard all of this yet, but it seems like a crazy and fun record.
