| | Ultramagnetic MC's Smack My Bitch Up CD Ultramagnetic MC's Discography of CDs
Long before his tenure as the outrageous Dr. Octagon, Kool Keith was the main mic man for Ultramagnetic MC's, the short-lived, groundbreaking 1980s hip-hop outfit. In addition to being Keith's first artistic vehicle, Ultramagnetic MC's also challenged hip-hop's sonic template by being one of the first groups to mix heavy sampling with live instrumentation.
Its offensive title (and title track) notwithstanding, 1998's SMACK MY BITCH UP--the group's second post-reunion album--is a fine cross-section of Ultramagnetic MC's potent hip-hop. While not even in the same ballpark as their classic debut CRITICAL BEATDOWN, SMACK MY BITCH UP is filled with Keith's brash rapping and dense, urban soundscapes that sounded revolutionary in the '80s and still pack a mean punch decades later. Initiates should begin with CRITICAL BEATDOWN, but hip-hop collectors and fans of the self-proclaimed Black Elvis will want to pick this up.

Smack My Bitch Up
 $15.05   
Part of the threesome's genius lies in the ability to shift from the darkest scenes of graphic violence to moments of absolute silliness, exemplified by the first two tunes of THE FOUNDATION, the uncompromising "Declaration of War" and playful single "Yes, Yes, Y'All." For all of their schizophrenic fire, the Geto Boys are also good at exploring the flawed features of their own minds with a disarming tenderness, and both "I Tried" and "Leanin On You" echo with a surprising sincerity.
2005's THE FOUNDATION marks the return of Houston, TX kings of controversy the Geto Boys, and reunites all three longstanding members--Scarface, Willie D., and Bushwick Bill--after nearly a decade. The record stays true to the complex, conflicted, horror-drenched world the trio conjured up in its early days, with the music recalling the group's heyday of ...

Smack My Bitch Up
$15.65 
MORTAL CITY, the follow-up to Dar Williams' successful debut, THE HONESTY ROOM, is rife with whimsy, wit, and the confessional style of songwriting that first drew fans to Williams. Her confessional style remains engaging, charming, and rarely self-indulgent. Williams tackles delicate subjects skillfully. On "As Cool as I Am," for instance, she sings about female jealousy and feelings of inadequacy in male-female relationships. Threatened by a woman who seems to have caught the attention of her lover, Williams wrestles with her own insecurity. Williams emerges victorious, ultimately declaring that she will not be afraid of women and won't allow her herself be intimidated by them.
"The Christians and the Pagans" tells of a woman's Christmastime visit to a relative's house-with her female companion. Family members are miffed (the subject and her buddy are said "pagans"), but Williams' subtle humor and keen sense of melody win the day-and propel the song. A strong second set, MORTAL CITY proves that Williams is a formidable talent who won't be disappearing anytime soon.
Recorded in Dar Williams' ...

We live in a world of pre-packaged, spoon-fed music, which demands we dance to the toxic beat of jingling pennies in executive pockets. subthunk was founded to lay down "anewgroovetomoveto"*. Ignoring pigeonholes and skipping merrily between genres like a band of bipedal musical llamas, subthunk ingest sonic influences, digest diverse styles, and spit out a satisfying synthesis of aural pleasure. The band has released two albums to critical acclaim (BPM, Urb, XLR8R, FutureMusic, Remix, Los Angeles Times) and the much anticipated third album "You Should've Been Here Yesterday" is scheduled for release in early 2005.subthunk's music has been heard on high profile television shows such as Six Feet Under, Las Vegas and Boston Legal leading to Ant, the band's main composer, becoming involved in scoring for films and commercials. In 2004 the band became an international project and now has members in both the U.S. and U.K. The third album "You Should've Been Here Yesterday" was primarily written and recorded in London and contains a combination of the band's British and American musical heritage, with tracks whipped around the globe thanks to DSL (the band are currently saving up for a helicopter...) The album is the first to fully explore vocals with the introduction of vocalist/lyricist Lilo and her dulcet tones and represents the next step in subthunk's musical journey. The band will be touring the U.K. in 2005 and are planning select dates in the U.S.The current line up of the band consists of guitarist/programmer Ant, ztarist (guitar-keyboard hybrid) Alex U'Ren, vocals Lilo, bass manipulator Cousin Suj and drummer Dave Logan. Of course the band's iBook as always shares the stage adding its own blend of bleeps and beats. According to the band, the iBook is a great ...
