(1 Customer Review)
Houston rapper Trae gained a fair bit of street credibility after a long string of independent releases, and that credibility is redeemed on the artist's first full-length for Rap-a-Lot, RESTLESS. Packed with tight production and raw, head-nodding beats, Trae represents for the Houston scene with his nimble yet rough-and-rugged delivery. Trae delivers his share of familiar gangsta narratives, but can be surprisingly introspective on tracks like "The Truth" and "Song Cry." Guest appearances by Dirty South stars Paul Wall, Bun B., Three 6 Mafia, and Z-Ro add sparkle to this solid and very promising release.The Wire (p.64) - "Trae's RESTLESS paints a grittier picture of hood reality....It's a surprisingly touching experience, limned with grief and loss."

Restless: Chopped & Screwed album
$13.89 Incredibly prolific Houston rapper Z-Ro opens his 2005 release, LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, by paying homage to one of hip-hop's all-time classics, Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full," musing over the familiar bassline (from Dennis Edwards's "Don't Look Any Further") before launching into a breathless freestyle bout. While it's fairly audacious to conjure up comparisons to a master MC like the illustrious Rakim, Z-Ro holds his own on ...

| | Maktub Subtle Ways CD (1999)
Restless: Chopped & Screwed album
$13.25 Maktub formed as an effort to focus the best elements of a growing soul movement that had come to life in Seattle clubs. Subtle Ways, the group's first release, is a fine demonstration of the wide variety of styles that the group manages to fold into its jams. The first track, "Intuition," oscillates between reverb-laced choruses, electronica-influenced instrumental breakdowns, and falsetto verses. It is a promising pastiche, but the same elements reappear on too many other tracks in the album, from "Believe" to "Twilight." These compositional ...
| | Carl Palmer Do Ya Wanna Play, Carl ? CDs (2001) Bonus Track
Restless: Chopped & Screwed CD music
$23.29 This double-CD set raises a lot of questions and red flags, though most of the doubts will be resolved by the music itself. For starters, the first disc, credited to Emerson, Lake & Palmer in terms of its focus, is a tiny bit of a cheat, since it's not a truly comprehensive look at Palmer's contribution to the latter group -- it consists largely of Palmer's solo work within the context of the group name, all dating from 1977's Works (which was essentially three solo albums and a group side) or later, some as late as 2001, and that material only tells part of the story of Palmer's work with the group. Additionally, the structure of the set is a little odd -- on an intellectual level, it is understandable why this double CD was arranged the way it was, with the ELP tracks on disc one, while disc two covers the periods before and after; the ELP stuff is qualitatively different from the rest, as music, in terms of its goals and what Palmer was doing. It's also probably the main selling point to lots of fans -- it's just a pity that the set is arranged this way, because it relegates a pair of supremely attractive mod-era tracks by Palmer's first band to record, the Craig, to a secondary position, and it leaves "Love Light" by the Liverpool group the Chants -- for whom Palmer played drums on that song -- in a similarly neglected spot, and does a similar disservice to Atomic Rooster's "Decline and Fall."
In fairness, however, the set does encompass virtually the entirety of Palmer's career and art, or at least the accessible high points; from his beginnings as a potentially top-ranked session drummer (he could have been the percussionist's answer to Jimmy Page) to his emergence as a member of Atomic Rooster, listeners get a sketchy but satisfying view of his developing ambition. Asia is represented by "Heat of the Moment," and the material by Palmer's more pop-oriented group P.M. is eminently accessible. The 3 project material shows a mix of pop and progressive sensibilities that should have proved more popular than it did (their version of "Eight Miles High" is fun). And the disc ends on a deeply personal note, with a live performance by Palmer with the Buddy Rich Orchestra -- an acknowledgment of Palmer's debt to the legendary jazz drummer (whom he got to know in the later years of his life) -- playing "Shawnee." The ELP material is all on disc one, and it is also sketchy -- the more developed 1977 version of "Tank" is present, and it is the earliest composition represented, but obviously Palmer's contributions to the trio go deeper than a track such as that; the opening section of "Tarkus" could just as easily have been included. In Palmer's case, as opposed to that of his bandmate Keith Emerson, at least his reach doesn't exceed his grasp -- "Concerto ...
| | TTC Batards Sensibles CD (2004)
Restless: Chopped & Screwed music CDs
$11.75 After America, France has the world's biggest hip-hop market, rabidly consuming both the hip-hop mainstream and underground coming from American shores. However, only a scant few French rappers have made in-roads away from their homeland. MC Solaar did prove that rhyming in French could produce a flow far smoother than the Anglo-languages. But his stance was still strictly in the American footprints. Some French hip-hop ...
