(1 Customer Review)
Drum'n'bass überproducer John B. embraced kitsch '80s rock in 2002, with a teenage fascination with the likes of a-ha and A Flock of Seagulls spilling into his previously futuristic blend of switchblade beats and soaring power synths. Similarly, Paris-based producer Fred Bigot felt the need to connect his own love with glam rock with a favored specialism of techno, to somewhat mind-scrambling result. Although noted by such king makers as Time Out as one to watch, the producer struggles to extrapolate himself from the ultimately throwaway disposability that dogged the high-concept, yet more often lowest-common-denominator, trashiness that ultimately proved the undoing of electroclash. With little other than a fuzz pedal distinguishing Bigot from the faded glamour of his contemporaries in electroclash, nothing on 21st Century Toy quite reaches the glam-tastic heights of the hand-clapped opener, "Tonight"; indeed, the remaining track listing of similarly effected vocals, mild hooks, and muddy production is quick only to evanesce into an intangible mush. ~ Kingsley Marshall

The Wire (6/03, p.77) - "...Parisian Techno rocker Fred Bigot knows the score: stick a drum machine and a fuzzy guitar together and you've got half the pop culture of the past 40 years right in front of you..."

| | Jay-Z The Blueprint 3 CD (2009)
21ST Century Toy CD music
$15.65 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 jagged rap elan for which he's become known.
When Jay-Z first made a series out of his best album, 2001's The Blueprint, it became a game of high expectations. The first volume saw Jay-Z as vital as he'd ever been, storming back to the hardcore after a few years of commercial success. THE BLUEPRINT 2 took a different tack, with guest shots to compliment his sinuous flows. BLUEPRINT 3 is somewhere between the two, closer to the vitality and energy of the original ...

| | Everchanging Nomad Hero Today Gone Tomorrow CD (2006)
21ST Century Toy CD music
$13.85 Three years ago, longtime friends Damon Lynn and Vance Crofoot found themselves bored with the music they were hearing on the radio. Bad Xerox copies of the Grunge Era, they called itl, and wrote a powerful tune called Demons. The two had been composing songs as a hobby for years, often just to give themselves something more interesting to listen to in their cars, but this time, they knew they'd hit on something fresh. Careers and hobbies quickly took a backseat, and music and lyrics about the shattering of life's illusions started pouring out. The euphoria the duo felt after each tune was written inspired them to keep going, and they knew they wanted to share their truths about the reality of life with the world but in a fresh, innovative way, of course. Their group name Everchanging Nomad is more than just a catchy moniker. Lynn (the lead vocalist and lead writer) and Crofoot (harmony vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, secondary writer) chose it because, as Crofoot says, "It describes us in more ways than one, from the major changes we've gone through in our lives concerning our belief systems, as well as our growth as musicians". The release of Hero Today, Gone Tomorrow , their insightful, lyrically provocative and musically transcendent debut, heralds the birth of a new genre on the independent music landscape, 'future pop'. It's an innovative sound based less on concerns for commercial categorization than the various stylistic muses inspiring the duo's creative lives. There are touches of 70s and 80s pop/rock, ambient rock, (Dancing Supernova boasts a lush, psychedelic vibe), organic indie flavors (thanks to Crofoot's raw strumming style) and even shades of disco, which they include unapologetically. The twelve songs were mastered at The Mastering Lab in Los Angeles by Gavin Lurssen, the first mastering engineer to ever receive a Grammy (for the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? ). Lurssen also mastered three of the ...

| | Jim Jones M.O.B. (Members Of Byrdgang) - The Album CD (2008)
21ST Century Toy album
$15.89 After two successful street mixtapes entitled M.O.B. MEMBERS OF BYRDGANG, Jim Jones's Harlem-based group of upstart MCs present their debut studio album of the same name. Made up of the late Stack Bundles, Sandman, Mel Matrix, Freeky Zekey, Chink Santana, Noe, and Jones himself, Byrdgang throw together a slew of grimy, street-level narratives that detail the everyday trials of New York hustlers. Crewmember Chink Santana handles production on five tracks while DJ Green Lantern, Joe Black, Noyz, Majik, and Chad Beatz also contribute supplemental production-work.
With Dipset brothers Jim Jones and Cam'ron showing little brotherly love for the past year or so, 2008 seemed the right time for Jones to face the "What color is your parachute?" question, because there's a chance it isn't Diplomats purple. Jones is in the weird position of being half hype-man, half rapper with a massive crossover hit -- "We Fly High" -- two years previous. He followed it up with the Dipset Christmas EP, a bad idea featuring a "We Fly High" remix, plus the underwhelming full-length Harlem's American Gangster. M.O.B.: The Album gets him back ...
