 (3 Customer Reviews)
Rhino/Elektra Traditions' 2001 release The Very Best of Das EFX is an excellent summary of the duo's seminal recordings for Elektra. When they came crashing out in 1992 with Dead Serious, the group was a bold change, thanks to their revolutionary quick-fire, stuttering delivery. The record was hailed as a mini-masterpiece, but like a lot of rap crews, what was praised upon the debut became ignored by the third, often because the once-fresh style now seemed stale, even if it was their signature sound. And, while the quality of their recordings did dip somewhat after the first album, they still turned out fine recordings, as this collection proves. True, it does tilt toward the debut, with no less than seven selections from Dead Serious, but it also contains three cuts from Straight Up Sewaside and four from 1995's Hold It Down, ending with two tracks from their final Elektra album, 1998's Generation EFX. This winds up as an excellent summary, providing a huge portion of their greatest album, with cuts from the other albums that prove they hadn't lost their talents after the debut. And while Dead Serious remains a landmark, this may be the best choice for anybody indeed wanting to hear The Very Best of Das EFX. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Spin (8/01, p.131) - "...Friggidy-freakin' a flow as unique as Lester Bowie's, stepping to Randy Travis, giving Sinead O'Connor a crew cut, and biting Park's Sausage commercials, they still sound totally now. A nice flashback to the days before the dim and the grim..."

prodigy is in the background of microphone master, but he doesnt rap.
But that aint the juic of this fruit,haha, its the fact that you get almost all of the first album, three songs of the second, and the best songs from the new albums.

| | Dick Gaughan Redwood Cathedral CD (1998)
Very Best Of Das Efx music CDs
$12.05
Gaughan's weathered brogue is enough to make a song memorable. But he also has a knack for gathering fine songs, both originals and covers, that fit beautifully into his style. On this set, Gaughan opens with an understated but powerful "Muir and the Master Builder" by Brian McNeill and even plies his magic with Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty." As he wends his way through a sublime take on Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn," it becomes clear that Gaughan has a gift for phrasing that puts the listener at ease. ~ Tim Sheridan
"Although this album does contain two of my own songs, it is primarily an homage by a song interpreter to the craft of the songwriter," writes the estimable Scottish singer/songwriter/guitarist Dick Gaughan in his liner notes for "Redwood Cathedral." "This is basically a collection of songs written by highly skilled songwriters, well-crafted songs I love and which I love singing and exploring." The CD is a wide-ranging musical mosaic of contemporary and traditional-sounding gems by some of the world's best songwriters.Gaughan's ability to take other writers' songs and make them personal statements is amazing. As with many Gaughan recordings, this one mixes songs of political, historical, natural and personal themes, including compositions by Pete Seeger (the timeless "Turn! Turn! Turn!"), Si Kahn ("Gone, Gonna Rise Again"), the late Townes Van Zandt (his ...
