This is essentially the entire Dr. Octagonecologyst album sans vocals and slightly remixed. If any other artist released an album such as this it would be considered throwaway trash -- something for the hardcore fans. But Dan the Automator's backing tracks are so fresh and original, it's actually nice to just hear the beats minus the rhymes. ~ Kembrew McLeod

Recorded at The Glue Factory, San Francisco, California.

Personnel: Sweet-P (vocals); Andy Boy (guitar); Ramon Garcia (flute, saxophone, congas); Dan the Automator (synthesizer); DJ Q-Bert (scratches).

Audio Mixer: Dan the Automator.

Photographer: B+.

Personnel includes: Andy Boy (guitar); Phil Bright (guitar, bass); Ramon Garcia (flute, saxophone, congas); D. Nakamura (synthesizer); Keith Thornton (bass); Miss G, Sweet "P" (background vocals); Josh Davis & The Monster Orchestra.

Award Winner

Entertainment Weekly (6/6/97, pp.68-69) - "...instrumental hip-hop that's beautiful, creepy, and compelling, sometimes all at once..." - Rating: A-
Muzik (1/97, p.118) - 3 out of 5 - "...the classic 'Dr. Octagon' with vocals and scratches removed....there's more time and space to concentrate on just how good Automators production is..."

Customer Instrumentalyst: Octagon Beats Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Creepin Good
An amazing collection of sounds and music that is dark and creepy, but amazingly technical. The Automator is the man!!! I own the regular version of this cd and have many of the songs on my ipod, but I wanted some of the songs without the vocals, so I gave this instrumental version a shot, since CDUniverse had it for so cheap. It sounds like there is added instruments in some of the songs here and there, but it could be that it is easier to concentrate on the music without Kool Keith's crazy vocals. Same great flavor as the original, just without some of the funny pervertedness.

On THE BLUEPRINT 3, still unretired Jay-Z announces "the only rapper to rewrite history without a pen." It's a standard Jigga boast, but the Brooklyn icon has earned the bragging by backing it up, particularly on his gold-label, top-shelf BLUEPRINT series. Ever-ready for battle, Jay-Z takes on autotune, crossover radio, and many other hip-hop concerns with the gloriously ...

Ben Harper Diamonds On The Inside CD  (2003)

Instrumentalyst: Octagon Beats songs
CD $11.35  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In the three years-plus interim between this and his last studio album, Ben Harper traversed the world, and the already introspective singer/songwriter has clearly done even more soul-searching and emerged with his most earnest (and that's no mean feat), focused set to date. DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE flows organically with that transcendent feeling exemplfied by lines so simple and revealing as "can you look into my eyes, or has your heart gone blind," which harbor the ability to subtly wend their way into the subconscious and the heart simultaneously. Harper's gathered his acclaim via trenchant lyricism and his knack for adeptly and sincerely blending many styles into a rocking, grooving concoction. On "Brown Eyed Blues," he channels Al Green before breaking down into a jam reminiscent of Santana or War, then follows it with the P-Funk-esque "Bring The Funk." He recalls Sam Cooke's spirituals on the breathtaking "When She Believes," and can pull off a reincarnation of Cat Stevens at his apex on the title track, as well as on "Amen Omen," and "Everything." With this solid, thoughtful record, Harper continues the heartfelt soul-folk-funk-jam. that won him a cult following from Deadheads to indie rockers. In the three years-plus interim between this and his last studio album, Ben Harper traversed the world, and the already introspective singer/songwriter has clearly done even more soul-searching and emerged with his most earnest (and that's no mean feat), ...
