 (6 Customer Reviews)
Initial pressings include a bonus CD featuring the best from HEADSHOTS volumes 1-6.
Over four records, the Minneapolis, MN's Atmosphere has cultivated a sizeable underground following, often blurring across genres and even releasing a record on the punk-oriented Epitaph label and appearing on the ninth installment of the PUNK-O-RAMA series. However, Atmosphere's music is ultimately rooted in traditional hip-hop, perhaps closest to Oakland, CA's Hieroglyphics collective in its heyday of the early 1990s. MC Slug's style lies somewhere between that crew's Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and the immediacy of Rakim, as he alternately delivers rhymes that touch on conventional rap and misfit story-poems.
Intl Prssng 2CD.1st Time On CD Vol.7 Of Headshot Cass Series
Recording information: 1997-1999.

HEADSHOTS: SE7EN captures the outfit in its formative years, concentrating on tracks Atmosphere recorded between 1997 and 1999. While Slug's lyrical musings are often the focal point of the tracks, Ant's beats are underrated, and his early work, clearly influenced by Eric B., often shines with playful brilliance. On tracks like the carnival-esque "The Jackpot" and "Swept Away," Atmosphere even recalls the early days of De La Soul. HEADSHOTS:SE7EN offers entertaining insight into the origins of a leading light in underground hip-hop.

 worst of the best
Headshots was a very split decision album for me. Half of the songs were pure lyrical genius and carried perfect flow and smooth progression. But the other half wasn't quite up to the expectations i had. Atmosphere fans will love this album, but if you're new to this band then maybe you should check out Godlovesugly or Seven's Travels

Real Fan's should get a real kick out of this!
I really like this CD, alot of the songs are hot. I wanted to get this because the Lucy Ford CD was NICE, and also cause I am a fan. With 31 tracks you can not go wrong, Slug shows his mic skill by rapping about all kinds of things. This CD was recorded in 97-99, its the first slug vocals to hit the streets on cass., but now for the first time its on CD. Dont expect a great "LP" cause this it just alot of songs remastered from there original bootleg. If you want to wait for the next Offical release of Atmosphere, its coming late this year. But I still recommend that you get this CD, cause its slug at the point of his life where he lived for the mic...and all you can do is respect that... fav. tracks: "Tracksmart", and "The Abusing Of The Rib"

Considering the fact that this is a double disc album, you can't lose. I honestly prefer God Loves Ugly over this album. But Atmosphere's still doing it in '05.

i found myself laughing at most of the lyrics in this album i would say this was slug back in his hay day and is a big step away from the slug we heard on the fifth release on this album his lyrics were deeper and more innovative and thought provoking one of the best rap albums i have ever heard this is worth it second disc not so good though

Anthem proceeds with "Void," a song that also uses Walter Smith III on tenor, playing in unison with and counterpoint to Scott. Once more, the tempo is slow, even halting, but the melody and harmonics in the tune -- in part because of the nearly metallic edginess of Stevens' guitar -- create a sonic space in the middle between the front line and rhythm section. "Anthem (Antediluvian Adaptation)" is the beginning of a suite that carries on for the rest of the album. It's a bit faster, a bit edgier, even darker, with a fine piano solo by Parks; its lyrical song-like feel is in sharp contrast to the tension created by Stevens' slow, menacing yet subdued guitar work. The rest of the album follows suit with strange and labyrinthine journeys along the way. There's the largely rhythmic "Re:" with killer hard bop blues played by Scott. The swinging little groover "Cease Fire" follows, driven by Parks' synth bass and a gorgeous, floating, two-horn melody by Scott and Louis Fouché on a straight alto saxophone. Gilmore's drums are going to puzzle some people, because they are so minimal, playing just behind the beat, creating the feeling of a trance-like march into danger. They lay down beats hard, concentrating on the snare and bass drum, but it's an inverted shuffle, designed to accent melody, not play around it.
"Dialect" is an up-tempo, sinister, droning monster. Parks' lower register single-note piano introduces a harsh yet minimal line by Stevens preparing the listener for a progressively knotty front line by Scott and Fouché. Stevens solos first and it's full of stiletto edges as his fluid playing moves into overdrive before Scott ushers him out in his high register. "The Uprising" is almost transcendent. The interplay between Scott and Smith III's tenor is lovely yet still somewhat somber, as if moved to action by grief. "Katrina's Eyes" comes right from the blues. It's a bittersweet tune where sorrow, the remembrance of what was, and the sheer awe of what has transpired is ever present even as the desire for return asserts itself. The title is a double entendre: it refers to the all seeing eyes of the hurricane as it approached and looked back at what it left behind, and also to the calms between the ...
